Resolution: Remove the permission 'Manage profiles' for 'Everyone' from Central Administration Central Administration > manage Service applications > highlight User profile service application > click Administrator in the ribbon menu > select Everyone > click Remove.

Hi All, I had this issue in our Dev SharePoint 2016 farm where we had configured SharePoint integrated Reporting Services, the log files at below location were growing exponentially & eating up all the space in C: drive. this resulted in SharePoint farm being inaccessible.   I tried searching on the internet however could not find any useful information on how to disable this logging or change the location of the logs. I tried disabling execution logs from SSRS Service application > System settings as shown below however that did not make any difference. after hours of searching I found the fix for this issue which is mentioned below. Solution: finally I was able to fix this issue by changing the value to 0 for   <add name="KeepFilesForDays" value="14" /> in the rsreportserver.config at the location C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\16\WebServices\Reporting. after doing this the logs stopped getting gen...

error ‘ Object reference not set to an instance of an object ‘ appears while trying to access Review Job Definitions page under Monitoring section from central administration. This could be due to faulty timer job. You can find the bad timer by running the following powershell command: Get-SPTimerJob | ? { $_.DisplayName -eq $null }| select name, Id Run below command to delete bad job $Badjob = Get-SPTimerJob <Guid of the job> $ Badjob.Delete() For me the problem job was Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.CrawlStoreRebalancerJobDefinition & after I removed it the Review Job Definitions page worked fine.  

At times you might see error 403 forbidden or access denied. when you check in sharepoint & IIS, everything is apparently fine. Application pool is up & Site is running. However when you check the permissions on the site Virtual directory under Security tab, you will find that 'Read' permission for 'Everyone' is missing & that is the reason everyone will see 403 Forbidden error while browsing the site. Resolution : right click on Virtual directory folder for sharepoint site from IIS Manager > Go to Properties > Security tab > Edit > Add > add Everyone & assign Read permission. the site should be accessible now. thanks
