ASP.NET MVC Disable Auto complete on forms globally

If you want to turn off browser auto complete on form text boxes

Add the code block below in your _layout.cshtml file or
better create a new JS file and add it under your bundle.


$(document).ready(function () { $("input").attr("autocomplete", "off"); });

SharePoint- User name changed in AD doesn't get updated in Site collection

It happens When the "NT Authority\Authenticated Users" are added to Site's Visitors/ reader Group. If you check the user profile at the central admin it gets updated but it didn't update the site collection.

You will face this issue on Intranet site where the user has read only permission.

To fix this issue

1. Create a temp list somewhere in the site

2. Go to the list permission and Break the Inheritance

3. Add new user- search for the user-(it will show you the previous name)

4. Wait for a minute- and the user profile will get updated with new name.

5. Delete your temp list.

It worked for me.

SharePoint 2010 -People and Groups All People Link is missing

In SP2010 All People Link is missing. Which is a useful link when you want to see all people who have access to the site or delete the user completely from the site collection, rather than going group by group to delete the user.

So the workwround is click any one group and check the URL
"/_layouts/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=7"
Change the MembershipGroupId value to 0 "/_layouts/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0" and now you should be able to see all the people.
