User cannot see files in document library and sharepoint 2019 search not returning results from specific document library.I came across this search error where user is trying to search documents selecting the option “search in same site” instead of “all sites” from search box and sharepoint search not returning results. User can find documents from other library with in same site but cannot see files in specific document library. The first point comes to mind for search error is content not crawled. Indexing not done for this situation and sharepoint search not working. As per my investigation I found the setting of the library as below.

By default SharePoint only crawls major versions of files and draft items are only viewable by their creators. SharePoint is behaving as expected out of box.Draft items are not crawled in SharePoint for which user cannot see files in document library.

  • Select option “Any user who can read items”.
  • This will allow all users to see draft items including the crawling account.
  • Else you need to select “Create major versions” option or can publish the documents as major versions if want to get those documents in search result as per client wish.

Sending Attachments with the Email Messages Sent to SharePoint Document Library

Once I was trying to send the attachments along with the email messages being sent to the SharePoint document library. All the configurations were proper and I had properly associated the document library with an email address. After the stage was properly setup for the document library to receive emails with the attachment, I tested the same and expected it to work just fine, but I did not get any success.

I did a quick research over the internet and found out the solution from the MSDN site. The reason mentioned was pretty straight forward. While associating a document library with an email address, the Directory Management Service might miss out adding the following two attributes:

  • internet Encoding = 1310720
  • mAPIRecipient = false

These two attributes must be added manually using the Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI).

Note:
On Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2, the Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI)  Edit is installed after you have installed the Active Directory Domain Services role. You can also install Windows Server 2008 Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) on domain member servers or stand-alone servers.

For adding the attributes by using Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) Edit, follow the steps mentioned below:

  1. Click Start, and then click Run.
  2. In the Run dialog box, type Adsiedit.msc, and then click OK.
  3. In the ADSI Edit window, expand ADSI Edit, expand Domain [DomainName], expand DC=DomainName, DC=com, and then expand CN=Users.
  4. Right-click the user name to which you want to add the missing attributes, and then click Properties.
  5. In the Properties dialog box, double-click internet Encoding on the Attribute Editor tab.
  6. In the Integer Attribute Editor dialog box, type 1310720 in the Value box, and then click OK.
  7. In the Properties dialog box, double-click mAPIRecipient on the Attribute Editor tab.
  8. In the Boolean Attribute Editor dialog box, click False, and then click OK two times.
