How to Lookup error in SharePoint 2010 by Correlation ID

If you have seen an Unknown Error message popup window in SharePoint 2010 and it looks something like below, you may wonder how can I easily find out what the error is using the big clumsy GUID.

The answer you seek is in SharePoint 2010 Power Shell Window. On the SharePoint Web Server, Click on Start > All Programs > Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products > SharePoint 2010 Management Shell

Now use the following powershell command:
get-splogevent | ?{$_.Correlation -eq "<enter the error GUID here>"} | select Area, Category, Level, EventID, Message | Format-List

How to resolve error when upgrading SharePoint Standard 2010 to Enterprise - "An error occurred while enabling Enterprise features. Refer to the event logs on your server machines for more details. For more information on how to fix this error"

If you are trying to upgrade SharePoint Standard 2010 to Enterprise version via inputting the licence key in Central Admin and getting the following error:
""
then follow the steps below to resolve this issue:

1) On the SharePoint Web Server, Launch Services (Go to Start > Search Programs and Files... and type "Services" and press Enter key)

2) On "Services" window scroll down to "SharePoint 2010 Timer" and check which account is running that services. It is probably one of your Farm Administrator account. If not then note down this account name and then Open up "Central Admin > Security > Manage the farm administrators group" and Add the above account to Farm administrators group

3) Now go back to the Services Window, Right Click on the "SharePoint 2010 Timer" service and select "Restart"

4) Open Central Admin > Upgrade and Migration > Enable Enterprise Features (e.g. http://<your central admin url>/_admin/SkuUpgrade.aspx). Enter a Valid license key and click on OK

5) Once SharePoint 2010 Enterprise version upgrade is completed successfully, Restart IIS (iisreset \noforce)

6) Enable Enterprise Features on your existing Sites (http://<your central admin url>/_admin/enablefeatures.aspx)

7) Remove the "SharePoint 2010 Timer" account from Farm administrators group if it was added just for the upgrade process

SharePoint 2013 is packed with a lot of bells and whistles as compared to its predecessor SharePoint 2010. But the features that really stands out are:

1) Device Channels - Design a Layout, Look and Feel specific to iPhone, Windows Phone, Surface and iPad
2) Cross Browser Compatibility (incl. mobile browser) - Full support for HTML5, CSS3, JQuery and all the good stuff

3) "One Search" Solution (no confusing FAST vs Enterprise Search) - Our Favorite feature especially the new “Continuous Crawl” option that will allow users to search all the time and trust the results. Also the new "Content Search Web Part" ROCKS!

4) Social Media and Gamification - Use Community Sites and Portal to promote discussion between site members and assign badges/points to members who answer questions

5) Design "Responsive" Websites - Friendly URLs, Design Manager (clear seperation of code from design), Device Channels (ability to target same content rendered differently on different mobile devices), Managed Navigation, Content Search Web Part etc all adds to the a simple yet enhanced web design and development user experience

6) SharePoint Apps and App Store - Build cool apps and add-ons for SharePoint and allow users to install "1-click install" apps similar to Google Play or Apple iTunes Store.

How to Left align some text and Right align some other text ON THE SAME LINE

Here is a neat trick I learned recently on how to Left align some sample text (say "Hello Ragav")  and Right align some different text (say "www.klstinc.com") on the same line, so that the final look is something like below


Hello Ragav                                                                                                                 www.klstinc.com


Step 1: For the left align text use a <p>, <div> tag with style attribute value set "float:left". For example - <div style="float:left">Hello Ragav</div>

Step 2: For the right align text use a <p>, <div> tag with style attribute value set "float:right". For example - <div style="float:right">www.klstinc.com</div>

Step 3: Clear your float by adding the line below <div style="clear: both;"></div>

In Summary, to implement the above left and right aligned text in same line the final HTML block should look something like below:

<div style="float:left">Hello Ragav</div>

<div style="float:right">www.klstinc.com</div>

<div style="clear: both;"></div>
