I am using the Google script code, "SitesApp.copySite" to copy an existing site hundreds of time. (I am making a course website for every course in our high school). The master site is "Public on the web". When a make a copy of it, the copy becomes "Private". I am using the command "siteToUpdate.addOwner(emailAddress);" to add the teacher in as owner.
I can not find any way to make the site "Public on the web" again, besides going in manually to each site and changing it. Does anyone know how to do this in code?
Thanks

I have two reports that I need to build. One that has a dozen or so columns. The other has the same columns + 2 extra. The first one is aimed at employees the second with the additional columns is aimed at Sr. Management.
I have a windows group set up for the proper Sr. Mgt users.
I am using SQL 2012.
I've done some SSRS stuff, but not enough to say I'm competent to do more difficult reports.
The problem I'm having is that we do not want the employees to see the sensitive information in those two columns. Frankly, we don't even want them to know the existence of a different report.
Option 1: I was thinking I can just create a folder in SSRS and add the report there and hide the folder. I created it and applied the security but it seems that everyone can see the folder. Maybe they can't edit anything in it or even maybe they can't read anything in it, but this solution, if unchanged, will not meet the goal of having them not even see it exists.
Option 2: I was thinking that I can use the UserID condition to hide the columns in the report and just create one report that differs depending on who was viewing. There are two issues that surfaced in my research. First, there is no facility for using Windows Groups instead of userid. That would mean I have to maintain the list of people inside the report and boy would that be a pain. And second, my understanding is that the export facility does not respect the column actions -- like hiding.
Am I making this too complicated? Is there an easier way to do this? With no other solution, so I need to put up another instance of SSRS for management and make them go back and forth?
Thanks for your time
Option1: You should not be able to 'browse' for folders unless the 'parent' level permission has an 'everyone' user set up to browse on the higher level. Set up a test account and RDP to a box you can use the test account on. Generally under 'Folder Settings' you set up permission and it cascades down until interupted. If you have a parent permission to browse and a lower one not to, they may be able to browse directories. You can ensure that the directory has ONLY dedicated users and the inherited settings are removed manually.
Option2: I would NOT do this. You will have a maintenance nightmare on your hands as you would have to determine in code who was what and update a list that would probably need to be updated somewhere in SQL or a service. As far as I know SSRS does not work with getting parameters and such directly from AD so you would have to code this time and again. For this reason and security context I would avoid this.
Option3: Set up a 'Subscription' to save the report to a file format(excel, pdf, word, etc) or email on a scedule and turn off permission for everyone but admins. If someone can still see the report or directory there is most likely a security context issue.
Option4: You can do a cheapy 'Hide in tile view' move that for most users will hide the directory unless they go to the URL directly and have access. Click on a folder then choose 'Folder Settings' then check 'hide in tile view' and hit okay. Directory is now gone for most part for regular users browsing in default mode.
I think we can just fix your problem, and avoid inventing a complicated and unnecessary solution:
Option 1: I was thinking I can just create a folder in SSRS and add the report there and hide the folder. I created it and applied the security but it seems that everyone can see the folder. Maybe they can't edit anything in it or even maybe they can't read anything in it, but this solution, if unchanged, will not meet the goal of having them not even see it exists.
Chances are that either you set up the security settings wrong, or there's a bigger configuration nightmare to worry about. What you should do is create the folder, go into the settings of the folder, and edit the security (thus breaking inheritance from the parent folder). Before even adding groups, you need to remove anyone that doesn't belong - namely entries like "YOU\Domain Users" - that gives access to anyone on your domain. Once you've cleaned out whomever shouldn't have access, you can add the users/groups that should. Problem solved.
Now, if that doesn't work, then it would seem to me that your SSRS instance is somehow granting everyone sysadmin access - check the Site Settings to see what users and groups are in the System Administrator role. Investigate any groups thoroughly - is BUILTIN\Administrators a sysadmin in SSRS? Check the group locally on the computer - is there another blanket domain group shown there?
If everyone on your domain has complete access to the SSRS instance, then your goal of "hiding" things is impossible.
Can you copy a Composite C1 website? I would like to create a copy of an existing website as a new website.
I start by creating Site A. Then I want to copy it and create Site B.
For example: copy the pages, functions, data, content, layouts, css from website A to website B. The only difference between the two would be the name.
It would infringe copywrites and may get you sued, but yes, its possible with a scraper, which basicly get all of the site, and download it to you, such things are used by google and search engines for a cache of sites.
Some exaples:

If you own the site however, and have access to the ftp, just simply copy the files to a folder called /b and it can become www.a.com/b or you can set up an addon domain to point to /b and make the addon domain.... say www.b.com
The answer to your question "can you copy a website?"
Is Yes....you can.
Provided you have access to all the files/folders, its no different then copying a bunch of folders on your computer, to another folder.
So if you're using a shared host....and everything is in your public_html folder.
Just put the whole website in one folder, then copy it over to another folder.
And then just simply point your new domain to that folder, through your hosting platform.
The process to do this is different for different hosts, but the actual answer to your question is...
YES....YOU CAN COPY A WEBSITE FROM ONE FOLDER TO ANOTHER
IF you have access to the files on the server you can simply copy it to the other desired location...
But remember you have to update links and other paths (if they are absolute).
If you don't have the access you could maybe use the developer tools like firebug, or using F12 on chrome or IE and copy each file and source code you have by hand. This approach is a little more time consuming than the last one but at least it can be made.

As far as I know the easiest way would be use use Internet Explorers save to offline webpage function (if it is still there) - this will copy all the resources of the currently open webpage and recode the HTML to use them, as for an entire website..I dont think it will be easy, for legal reasons.
If it's your own site, sure why not! Who is there to stop you?
But if it's someone elses site, of course you have to worry about copyright and most of the time the website uses server side scripts which are not downloabeable.
You can duplicate a Composite C1 website by copying the entire file structure to a new folder and then update the installation id in the folder ~/App_Data/Composite/Configuration/InstallationInformation.xml (put in a new random GUID). Then point a new IIS site into this new folder.
If your site is using SQL Server as a backend you also need to create a copy of your database, create a new user account with dbo access for this database and update the connection string in ~/web.config.
If you wish to duplicate an entire page structure inside the existing instance of the CMS and share media files, templates etc. this could be done, but no tooling is available. This would be a coding task.
Copy the the directory(website physical path) where the website is pointing to and paste it somewhere...create a new website and point it to that copied directory....
I am a new developer (as in just graduated on the 10th) and was hired by a company to do web development. I was asked to do some minor changes to a site that this company acquired. The problem is that we do not have access to the source code (apparently the people had a bad break up with their previous developers and cannot get the source, I'm not exactly sure). Is there a way I can add links to a site and have it change live? I have Visual Studios, the address, the links, and the videos they will go to, not a hard fix, but I don't know how to edit the site without the source code. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
I advise you to talk to a senior or superior and get more information on how to proceed, because getting that code in a less than professional (or legal) way (e.g. using website rippers or something) would be a bad career move ;)
good luck.
interesting situation I should say, the company definetely didnt do its homework before the break-up
I am presuming you answer "yes" for the questions below
Is your company the legal owner of this website?
can you change the name servers or CNames etc
The current website is not Flash or silverlight
if here - you have said "yes" for all the above.
First of all navigate to every page of this website. File save as
each of this page to html(make sure you choose webpage complete -
this will save all the images as well) I realise this will be static, but there is not much you can do here
Get all resources (stylesheets, xsds (if any) , any other images)
Enrich this content based on requirements (i.e. add dynamic content, change logos etc)
Modify the cname or nameserver to point to the location(webserver)
you are in control.
Deploy your enriched and tested code
Educate your company to treat the developers well and when things go wrong, ensure transition is done well
I hope this help and good luck

I am currently working on a custom SharePoint web part (WSS 3.0, not MOSS) that will pull in information for all of the users in Active Directory to build an up to date employee directory. This web part shows things like phone number, address, and other similar fields. The issue that I am having is that, by default, the SharePoint web site on IIS is running as the user IUSR_. This user does not have access to Active Directory, so I am unable to retrieve any user information.
To get around this for testing I have hard coded the credentials for a test user which I added just for this purpose. This, obviously, is not ideal. If anyone removes this user or if they ever change the password then the web part will break and they will have no way to fix it (they have no in-house developers to take it over once I am finished here). To fix this problem, I would like to make the Username/Password custom properties on the web part so I can pass those to Active Directory to retrieve the information I need. The issue I am having with this is that the password is stored in plain text so anyone can read it. I would like it to display as ******** or something similar. Is there a way to make a custom property on a web part a password type?
If this isn't possible, can anyone recommend another way to accomplish what I am trying to do? At this time I cannot change the user that the SharePoint website runs as. Although, if I cannot find any other solutions I will try again to persuade them.
Thanks in advance!
We use a service account for that. That service account is solely used for that. Something like DOMAIN\SPS_AD_READ_CUSTOMER
In our documentation that we deliver when putting the application in production that account is put in the list of stuff that is needed to make the webpart run. If the webpart ever fails, the ITPro can go to the chapter and check if everything is still ok.
It's not ideal, but I don't really know another way on how to fix it.
I would go with custom Editor Part, then set up a control of TextBox with property TextBoxMode set to Password, then override methods from type EditorPart - SynchChanges() and ApplyChanges() to set and retrieve values.
tip: override method CreateEditorParts of a WebPart type to start with.
My company has a shared network folder for projects. This folder contains a sub-folder for each of our clients. Each sub-folder contains all the information for the projects done for those clients. Makes sense, yea?
OK.
I have been given a task: When in our company's MS CRM and viewing a client account, allow the user to click a button that will open explorer to the project folder for that account.
Sounds easy.
Did a bit of hunting online. This looks nice: http://blogs.msdn.com/crm/archive/2007/04/18/integrating-windows-explorer-files-and-folders-into-crm-tabs.aspx
It's funky, but it goes waaay beyond the scope of the task I've actually been given. However, my company doesn't use SharePoint (though we have licenses if we need it) and I don't have the time to invest tweaking this solution until it fits our CRM. I just need to open explorer on the client machine and point it at a folder. I want a button that will open explorer. Should be easy! I just want to set up a button in CRM, execute the command to open explorer /root, //server/projects/account, and then move on to more important things.
That said, I don't think like a hacker, so I didn't realize that this was an obvious security exploit that will be blocked most (if not all) of the time. So I gave it a go, but I've been having trouble opening explorer with JavaScript, which I thought would be the quick, easy and painless solution (duh me!)
Is there an easier way to do this than the example I cited above?
Actually if you direct Internet Explorer to a local protocol, network shared folder or ftp server it turns to a file browser. This is automatic and you dont need to do anything other than making the folder you talk about to a network shared folder (via SMB) or FTP server. Just open that address in a new window:
window.open("file://\\192.168.1.10\clients\112");
window.open("ftp://192.168.1.10/clients/112");
either one should work
