Not a good way to start the day. All Site collections in a
Web Application is giving Access Denied Error to all the Users. Even SharePoint
Setup Account which is a Farm account and Primary Site collection administrator
for all the site collections.
IIS reset, Server Restart everything was tried. But missed
the simple thing SharePoint Super
Reader and
Super User Account!!!
Fortunately one of the Microsoft PFE was in our office
today. It came to her mind and just tried the setting Super User and Super
Reader Accounts again through powershell.
NOTE: same accounts were already configured properly but reconfigured through PowerShell.
Problem Solved
$wa = Get-SPWebApplication -Identity "http://WebApplicationURL"
$wa.Properties["portalsuperuseraccount"] = "domainName\SuperUserAccount"
$wa.Properties["portalsuperreaderaccount"] = "domainName\SuperReaderAccount"
$wa.Update()
Cheers
