Using SharePoint On Premise Diagnostic tool

Futuristic, perhaps, but a powered screwdriver for space, almost looks like Han Solo’s pistol (sans scope)

From previous intro, we start using the tool to diagnose SharePoint problems.

Let’s install, and get to using it!

Once this is released, I expect this to be posted to a GitHub repository.

For now, there will be some mystery for obtaining the file bundle.

Copy folder from build zip file.

Paste to SharePoint machine, whatever standard you use.

From my own past, I prefer a MonAdmin (Monitoring Admin) directory, with a scripts sub-directory, then toolname/version

Example

cd ‘C:\Monadmin\Scripts\OPD-D2.0.1905.15001’

Start OPD via powershell

cd ‘C:\Monadmin\Scripts\OPD-D2.0.1905.15001’

.\OPD-console.ps1

Avoid some initial questions

cd ‘C:\Monadmin\Scripts\OPD-D2.0.1905.15001’

.\OPD-console.ps1 -mode SharePoint -ShareTelemetry Yes -AcceptEula

PS C:\Monadmin\Scripts\OPD-D2.0.1905.15001> .\OPD-console.ps1 -mode SharePoint -ShareTelemetry Yes -AcceptEula

Using OPD to check SharePoint environment

Happy checking and to building new SharePoint checks!

Do you have an Enterprise SharePoint farms that you manage health and performance via custom scripts?

Have you used SETH to manage SharePoint 2010 problems with the farm(s)?

 

Would you want a scalable tool you can add your own scripts and enable/check, and then alert on what you want?

 

 

Background

SharePoint Engineer Troubleshooting Helper (SETH) was a Microsoft tool for SharePoint 2010

Using SETH

Troubleshooting SETH

 

 

For SharePoint 2016 and 2019, the Customer Support team brought up the need for bringing back a utility to help with common SharePoint scenarios

On Premise Diagnostic (OPD) is the second generation of project (for SharePoint 2016 and 2019).

 

My goal was to help the Escalation Engineers have a full platform that can be implemented and is scalable for the technical community to maintain and use.

 

BTW, the only thing preventing 2013 SharePoint support is the dependency on WMF v5.0 or better on SharePoint servers.
