It&#8217;s a well-known fact in On-Premise SharePoint world that ever since SharePoint 2010, My Site Clean Up Timer Job is set to 14 days retention period  before the My Site is deleted, and there&#8217;s nothing you can do about that other than disable the timer job and/or write your own timer job. Matter of fact, I recall at countless SP conferences where they would recommend that you disable this timer job and handle retention via custom process so you can have more visibility and control. In SharePoint Online world, this was changed to 30 days and if you&#8217;re like me and have corporate retention policies that are longer than 30 days, you would have to go thru series of workarounds to extend the retention period by leaving the Office 365 account active one way or another.</p><p>Well let me tell you that the days of that for at least SharePoint Online are gone now! I was surprised to see that the May 2016 release of the SharePoint CSOM (v 16.1.5312.1200) introduced a new property called <strong><em>OrphanedPersonalSitesRetentionPeriod </em></strong>that allows you to Get or Set the default retention days to OneDrive for Business sites. Even better, the values can be set between 30 to 3650. That&#8217;s measured in DAYS! Which means max value is 10 years!!</p><p>I&#8217;m glad Microsoft has added this option as it now gives a lot of flexibility for organizations to ensure OneDrive retention meets their corporate retention policies.</p><p>Easiest way to change the retention is via SharePoint Online PowerShell commands:<br /> <em>&#8230;and you can download the latest SharePoint Online PowerShell from <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35588">here</a></em></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Console; font-size: 9pt;"><span style="color: darkgreen;">#Connect to SharePoint Online Admin (change URL to your SPO tenant Admin URL) </span><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Lucida Console; font-size: 9pt;"><span style="color: blue;">Connect-SPOService </span><span style="color: navy;">-Url </span><span style="color: blueviolet;">https://contoso-admin.sharepoint.com </span><span style="color: navy;">-Credential</span> (<span style="color: blue;">Get-Credential</span>)<br /> </span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Console; font-size: 9pt;"><span style="color: darkgreen;">#Set Retention period &#8211; change the value of &#8216;3650&#8217; to value you prefer</span><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Lucida Console; font-size: 9pt;"><span style="color: blue;">Set-SPOTenant </span><span style="color: navy;">-OrphanedPersonalSitesRetentionPeriod </span><span style="color: purple;">3650</span><br /> </span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Console; font-size: 9pt;"><span style="color: darkgreen;">#Run the following command to confirm value has been applied</span><br /> </span><span style="font-family: Lucida Console; font-size: 9pt;">(<span style="color: blue;">Get-SPOTenant</span>)<span style="color: darkgray;">.</span>OrphanedPersonalSitesRetentionPeriod<br /> </span></p><p>Here are some links to where you can find out more about this:</p><ul><li>SharePoint CSOM release (May 2016) &#8211; <a href="https://dev.office.com/blogs/new-sharepoint-csom-version-released-for-Office-365-may-2016">https://dev.office.com/blogs/new-sharepoint-csom-version-released-for-Office-365-may-2016</a></li><li>SharePoint Online PowerShell command (Set-SPOTenant) &#8211; <a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161390.aspx">https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161390.aspx</a></li><li>How User Profiles are deleted in SPO and OneDrive for Business &#8211; <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3042522">https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3042522</a></li></ul><p>Good luck!</p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://jinkang.us/2016/08/11/onedrive-for-business-configurable-retention-period-for-orphaned-onedrives/">OneDrive for Business &#8211; Configurable Retention Period for Orphaned OneDrives!</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://jinkang.us">blog about technology...</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://jinkang.us/2016/08/11/onedrive-for-business-configurable-retention-period-for-orphaned-onedrives/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">71</post-id> </item> <item><title>Cloud Hybrid Search &#8211; Differentiate On-Premise and Cloud Search Results</title><link>https://jinkang.us/2016/08/10/cloud-hybrid-search-differentiate-premise-cloud-search-results/</link> <comments>https://jinkang.us/2016/08/10/cloud-hybrid-search-differentiate-premise-cloud-search-results/#respond</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 10 Aug 2016 21:22:35 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Jin Kang]]></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Office 365]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Search]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SharePoint]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SharePoint 2013]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SharePoint 2016]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SharePoint Online]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cloud]]></category> <category><![CDATA[hybrid]]></category> <category><![CDATA[office365]]></category> <category><![CDATA[search]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sharepoint]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sharepoint2013]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sharepoint2016]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sp2013]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sp2016]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://jinkang.us/?p=65</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Greetings!

As you know, one of the benefits of SharePoint Online is the ability for users to access it from anywhere in the world, via trusted network (<em>i.e. VPN, corporate network</em>) or non-trusted network (<em>i.e. home, cafe</em>).  This creates a bit of an issue for end users using the Cloud Hybrid Search Center as the returned results will be a merge of both cloud and on-premise results.  If you are accessing SharePoint Online via non-trusted network and have not implemented a way for users to access the on-premise search result URLs via some means like reverse proxy… you’ll get an error message like “Network Error (dns_unresolved_hostname)” at least on Chrome. Not only that, it is not very easy to distinguish what’s cloud results and what’s on-premise results.  Now the best solution is to implement something like reverse proxy to allow users to seamlessly access on-premise contents, however, there may be several reason why you may not want to do this such as corporate security policies, lack of funding, etc.</p><p>So what I have done to help our customers is to append an indicator to all on-premise results on the Search Results Web Part.  This way, users can at least distinguish what results are on-premise and require trusted network access.  Before I go any further explaining how I achieved this, let me first give credit where credit is due. The code to achieve this is borrowed heavily from <a href="http://www.dotnetmafia.com/blogs/dotnettipoftheday/archive/2013/12/31/using-display-templates-to-feature-new-search-results-in-sharepoint-2013.aspx">Corey Roth’s blog post</a>.</p><p>For the following Display Templates on the Search Center site collection:<br /> <em>you can locate the display templates by going to Site Collection &#8211; Site Settings –&gt; Master pages and page layouts –&gt; Display Templates –&gt; Search (download the following three files and open them in your favorite editor)<br /> </em></p><ul><li>Item_CommonItem_Body.html</li><li>Item_BestBet.html</li><li>Item_Discussion.html</li></ul><p>I inserted this in the main script block:</p><p><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: 'Lucida Console';">function extractDomain(url) {<br /> var domain;<br /> //find &amp; remove protocol (http, ftp, etc.) and get domain<br /> if (url.indexOf(&#8220;://&#8221;) &gt; -1) {<br /> domain = url.split(&#8216;/&#8217;)[2];<br /> }<br /> else {<br /> domain = url.split(&#8216;/&#8217;)[0];<br /> }<br /> //find &amp; remove port number<br /> domain = domain.split(&#8216;:&#8217;)[0];<br /> return domain;<br /> }<br /> var extContRegExPtn = new RegExp(/(contoso|contosocorp|ccontosonet){1}.net\/*.*/g);         &lt;&#8212; modify this RegEx expression to match your URL patterns<br /> var isExtCont = false;<br /> var extContUrl = extractDomain(ctx.CurrentItem.Url);<br /> if (extContRegExPtn.test(extContUrl))<br /> {<br /> isExtCont = true<br /> }    </span></p><p>And then for Item_CommonItem_Body.html, locate the _#= titleHtml =#_  and insert the following code to append the indicator right after the Title of each search results that match on regular expression defined in the javascript we inserted to the main script block</p><p><span style="font-size: xx-small;">&lt;!&#8211;#_<br /> if (isExtCont) {<br /> _#&#8211;&gt;<br /> &lt;span class=&#8221;ms-vl-recent ms-textSmall&#8221; id=&#8221;recent-c831c747-a40d-4cb1-9e8c-3da27e089e19&#8243; style=&#8221;font-size:6pt; font-weight:bold; background-color:#00a1f1&#8243;&gt;VPN Required&lt;/span&gt;  </span><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">&lt;—replace this value with anything you’d like<br /> </span></strong><br /> &lt;!&#8211;#_<br /> }<br /> _#&#8211;&gt;</span></p><p>For “Item_BestBet.html”, locate the _#= title =#_ and insert the code.<br /> For “Item_Discussion.html”, locate the  _#= Srch.U.trimTitle(title, maxTitleLengthInChars, termsToUse) =#_ and insert the code.</p><p>Save your changes and re-upload them to the master page and layouts library.  Also, don’t forget to check-in the file and publish it.</p><p>Here’s what it looks like in the end. As you can see, the first result is on-premise result and it appended the “VPN Required” indicator.  It will also do the same for Best Bet results (<em>i.e. promoted results via Query rule</em>) and results under the “Conversations” search tab.</p><p><a href="https://i2.wp.com/jinkang.us/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Untitled.png?ssl=1"><img style="background-image: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border: 0px;" title="Untitled" src="https://i1.wp.com/jinkang.us/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Untitled_thumb.png?resize=369%2C235&#038;ssl=1" alt="Untitled" border="0" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p><p>I hope this has been helpful!

Instead, I&#8217;ll share a few links to articles that I&#8217;ve used to successfully install and configure Cloud Hybrid Search for Office 365 and share with you one particular challenge I faced with local search (<em>i.e. local site search, library search, etc.</em>) and how I was able to solve it.</p><p>Here are few helpful links:</p><ul><li><a href="https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Plan-cloud-hybrid-search-for-SharePoint-33926857-302c-424f-ba78-03286cf5ac30?ui=en-US&amp;rs=en-US&amp;ad=US">Plan cloud hybrid search for SharePoint</a></li><li><a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn720906.aspx?f=255&amp;MSPPError=-2147217396">Configure cloud hybrid search</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/spses/2015/09/15/cloud-hybrid-search-service-application/">Cloud Hybrid Search Service Application</a></li></ul><p>If you&#8217;re like me and have a <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34976">Multi-farm architecture</a> with combination of SharePoint 2010 and/or SharePoint 2013 and a dedicated enterprise services farm and/or dedicated search farm, all message at the Ignite 2015 suggested the Cloud Search Service Application (SSA) will work right out the box just the way traditional Search SSA has been working simply by publishing the service application from the Search farm and consuming it from the Content farm after following some prerequisite steps (<em>exchange certificate, setting some permissions, etc.</em>).  Well&#8230; this is not exactly true&#8230; everything about the Cloud SSA was working (able to index all on-premise contents, was able to query on-premise contents from o365, etc.) BUT I wasn&#8217;t getting any search results from local site search or list/document library search. See below for screenshots of what I was seeing&#8230;</p><p>O365 Search Center &#8211; result from on-prem site collection: (found file: 1234_XYZ.txt)</p><p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-48" src="https://i2.wp.com/jinkang.us/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/2016-07-29_15-08-47.png?resize=300%2C148&#038;ssl=1" alt="2016-07-29_15-08-47" srcset="https://i2.wp.com/jinkang.us/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/2016-07-29_15-08-47.png?resize=300%2C148&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i2.wp.com/jinkang.us/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/2016-07-29_15-08-47.png?w=735&amp;ssl=1 735w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></p><p>On-Prem local search result: (did not find file: 1234_XYZ.txt)</p><p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-49" src="https://i0.wp.com/jinkang.us/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/2016-07-29_15-10-37.png?resize=300%2C157&#038;ssl=1" alt="2016-07-29_15-10-37" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/jinkang.us/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/2016-07-29_15-10-37.png?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/jinkang.us/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/2016-07-29_15-10-37.png?w=725&amp;ssl=1 725w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></p><p>But sometimes I was getting search results on my on-prem site&#8230; odd!</p><p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-50" src="https://i0.wp.com/jinkang.us/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/2016-07-29_15-11-33.png?resize=300%2C118&#038;ssl=1" alt="2016-07-29_15-11-33" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/jinkang.us/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/2016-07-29_15-11-33.png?resize=300%2C118&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/jinkang.us/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/2016-07-29_15-11-33.png?w=759&amp;ssl=1 759w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></p><p>I initially thought&#8230; I must have missed a step in my configuration for cross-farm service application for Cloud SSA so I double checked all my steps and even re-configured it all.  &#8230; and I had the same problem&#8230;</p><p>I then tried it on a different content farm &#8230; and I had the same problem&#8230;</p><p>All I could think at this point was there&#8217;s either a bug or this isn&#8217;t suppose to work&#8230; And if you haven&#8217;t read any of the articles I linked earlier, all it recommends is refer you to a 2 year old TechNet article on how to configure your farm for cross-farm service application in scenarios like this.</p><p>I then looked at how Cloud SSA works and discovered that Cloud SSA farm doesn&#8217;t actually retain its own local index (which makes sense!).  During this period, I stumbled on this old <a href="https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/sambetts/2014/10/10/setup-hybrid-sharepoint-online-on-premise-search-federation-a-quick-guide/">article</a> discussing how to configure your traditional Search SSA for search federation with SharePoint Online.  In this article, I realized that you needed to configure a Remote SharePoint Result Source pointing to our Office 365 tenant and set it to default to reroute all search query requests.  Duh! it all makes sense now since Cloud SSA farm doesn&#8217;t have it&#8217;s own search index.</p><p>You will need to define this new result source at the Cloud SSA.  Here&#8217;s how you do this&#8230;</p><ol><li>Go to Central Administration of Cloud SSA farm</li><li>Go to Application Management &#8211;&gt; Manage service applications</li><li>Locate your Cloud SSA and go to Search Administration page</li><li>From the list of links to the left of the page, go to Result Sources</li><li>Click on New Result Source<ol><li>Name: <em>provide a name</em></li><li>Protocol: <em>Remote SharePoint</em></li><li>Remote Service URL: <em>https://&lt;yourtenantname&gt;.sharepoint.com</em></li><li>Type: SharePoint Search Results</li><li>Query Transform: <em>default </em></li><li>Credentials: <em>default</em></li></ol></li><li>Click Save</li><li>Locate your new Result Source and click on drop down arrow and select Set as Default</li><li>You&#8217;re done!
