comment How to access document library files via a webservice?
It should also be noted that the Soap based web services are officially deprecated in SharePoint 2013 which means they have not added any new features and it is expected to go away in the next version. It would be best to use the the client OM or REST services going forward for all remote calls.

comment Workflow Timer Interval
If there isn't something erroring out that can be fixed, and its just a pure scaling issue, then I would look to add additional ram or CPUs to the farm and/or add another server to the farm that can also run the timerjob service.

comment Workflow Timer Interval
I would analyze the job history and see how long it takes to execute the job today. It sounds like it may already be running long, and perhaps skipping cycles.

I'm not sure I understand, can you say it a different way?

comment Getting user's manager in Sharepoint (Javascript)
Note, this would require having SharePoint Server with a User Profile Service Application.

comment why do my 2010 sharepoint sites not show up in Explorer?
@AprilD. I couldn't agree more, this aspect killed the usefulness of the feature.

comment why do my 2010 sharepoint sites not show up in Explorer?
To say it a different way, this has nothing to do with actual security or access to the content, its all about how the user's account is associated with a specific group on that site.

comment why do my 2010 sharepoint sites not show up in Explorer?
There is a single group identified for membership on a site; by default it is typically the site Members group. That is the group that counts, and you have to add individuals to that group. Being added as an individual to the Owner group doesn't trigger membership, nor does gaining membership to the Members group through membership of an AD Security Group.

comment Why is Central Admin on App server?
I agree with David on this. The CA aspect itself is strictly just an administrative interface, but the server it is installed on tends to be pretty important since it is the seed for your farm. Because of that, I also make it an app server. While SharePoint has evolved significantly over the past 12 years, and the deployments have gotten significantly more complex, this initial seed for the farm remains pretty important.

comment How to get data from a completed infopath forms
This would be possible in powershell, though not a fun activity. You need to connect to each file, stream the contents, and extract the entity data you want.

comment Services Actions Missing in Central Admin
@anil The service will need to successfully stay in a running state. Go ahead and try and start the service again. If it does not start, then remove the server from the farm, and rejoin it. You can do this by running the configuration wizard again on that particular server. Be sure you have the farm passphrase before attempting the changes.

comment Problem in Automatically log into Sharepoint
What authentication mode and provider are you using? Is the site configured for anonymous access?

comment Export documents from sharepoint to another website
To export the documents you would typically make a connection to the document and then open a bitstream that can then be saved somewhere else.

comment Decompiling a .webpart file?
And since its just an XML file that describes it, there is no actual code to review/change.

comment 2007 templates broken in 2013
Also, you should always run the test-spcontentdatabase powershell command before attaching any database to 2010 or 2013. This will alert you to any problems such as missing dependencies before it part of your farm. technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607941.aspx

comment 2007 templates broken in 2013
On the 2007 farm you will need to deactivate and fully remove those solutions from the farm and remove any sites that reference it. Then you can bring the content database to the 2010 farm and run the upgrade process, followed by the upgrade to the 2013 farm.

comment SharePoint 2010 to 2013 upgrade - DB patch level
Keep in mind there is no direct upgrade to 2013. In fact, I had a VM that I even uninstalled SP 2010 from completely and it still detected some artifacts. You will need to do a clean install, which means you can operate off of a copy of the databases. This will allow the existing system to run while you are testing the upgrade of the dbs.

comment Note Board Web Part stopped accepting new messages
It sounds like something is interrupting the javascript call. Are there any other javascript libraries referenced on the page? Does it do it on multiple pages?

comment Unable to locate Subsite Page Layout
Using SPD2010 you can simply cut and paste the one you currently referenced and make the required changes. Then follow the instructions dzookatz made to associate your page with the new page layout.
