Cannot login to SharePoint 2010 site created as a Host Header Site Collection

I was creating a development environment for a fellow developer in a new VM. I had gone through my checklist for a new VM:

1. Create the Web Application
2. Create the Host Header Site Collection
3. Add the bindings in IIS
4. Update the hosts file to point 127.0.0.1 to the host header
5. Updated DisableLoopbackCheck ( see here )
6. Give all the users excessive permissions

Still nothing. The site would not render, even though the Farm Solutions where OK and my deployment log has not errors.

I found the solution in the post ( here ) and on the Microsoft site ( here ).

I needed to add a Multi-String registry key named BackConnectionHostNames to the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0 and add the host headers.

SharePoint 2013: Error updating managed account credentials

I encountered the following message when trying to change a password for a managed account: Error deploying administration application pool credentials. Another deployment may be active. An object of the type Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPAdminAppPoolCredentialDeploymentJobDefinition named "job-admin-apppool-change" already exists under the parent Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPTimerService named "SPTimerV4".  Rename your object or delete the existing object. The error message is self explanatory - Rename your object or delete the existing object.  I choose the latter. Powershell to the rescue. $job = Get-SPTimerJob -Identity "job-admin-apppool-change" $job.Delete() Reset the password and all should be good.

Error deploying Nintex workflow: An item with the same key has already been added

My client recently upgraded their version of Nintex Workflow 2010 and suddenly some of my workflows started to fail on deployment. The following error cropped up: Error deploying workflow: Server was unable to process request. ---> An item with the same key has already been added. ---> An item with the same key has already been added. WTF???? A little digging unveiled the problem - I had two items in a 'Create Item' shape with the SAME DISPLAYNAME. I needed to move the second item to a new 'Update Item' shape in order for it to work. I order to get the workflow to deploy, I had to manually remove the 'duplicate' item from the serialized XML. Hooray!! It was then a simple matter of creating a new shape to update the 'duplicate' value.
