SharePoint 2013 Global navigation: Wrap the menu items

In the master page, there needs to be three things added and one setting modified.  Then you'll have to add to your custom css file (this part is optional but after you see the menu, you'll want to add this).

The items to add to your master file in the SharePoint:AspMenu are:
ItemWrap="true"
RenderingMode="List"
cssClass="mycss-aspmenuclass"

The item to change in the master page setting UseSimpleRendering to false.

this is that it looks like out of the box:

------------------------------------------------------------
<SharePoint:AspMenu
   ID="TopNavigationMenu"
   Runat="server"
   EnableViewState="false"
   DataSourceID="topSiteMap"
   AccessKey="<%$Resources:wss,navigation_accesskey%>"
   UseSimpleRendering="true"
   UseSeparateCss="false"
   Orientation="Horizontal"
   StaticDisplayLevels="2"
   AdjustForShowStartingNode="true"
   MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="2"
   SkipLinkText="" />
------------------------------------------------------------

this is what it should look like after your changes.
-------------------------------------------------------------
<SharePoint:AspMenu
   ID="TopNavigationMenu"
   Runat="server"
   EnableViewState="false"
   DataSourceID="topSiteMap"
   AccessKey="<%$Resources:wss,navigation_accesskey%>"
   UseSimpleRendering="false"
   UseSeparateCss="false"
   Orientation="Horizontal"
   StaticDisplayLevels="2"
   AdjustForShowStartingNode="true"
   MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="2"
   SkipLinkText=""
   ItemWrap="true"
   RenderingMode="List"
   cssClass="mycss-aspmenuclass"/>

---------------------------------------------------------------
Now add to your custom css file three items so that there is some space between the menu items.

.mycss-aspmenuclass .level1   
{
 margin-left: 10px;
 margin-right: 20px;
}
.mycss-aspmenuclass .level2
{
 margin-left: 10px;
 margin-right: 20px;
}
.mycss-aspmenuclass .level3
{
 margin-left: 10px;
 margin-right: 20px;
}

 

Fix a Secure Store service or any SharePoint service stuck on starting or stopping

change the "Server Name" in the script.  To stop change Provision() to UnProvision()

one thing to note is that if the status is provisioning, then you'll most likely need to Provision() then UnProvision().

Also all you need to do is get the service instance for other services by the type or name.

SharePoint 2010 and Project Web app error provisioning

Had a strange error the other day with provisioning a Project Web Application (PWA).  

The errors didn't really say much except these three event log items.  Errors below. 

To resolve I have to create the PWA site on another environment and then do a back up and restore to a site collection in the environment that was breaking.   then run the provisioning on central admin.  Everything works great after.
