Log parser is a powerful, versatile tool that provides universal query access to text-based data such as log files, XML files and CSV files, as well as key data sources on the Windows® operating system such as the Event Log, the Registry, the file system, and Active Directory®. You tell Log Parser what information you need and how you want it processed. The results of your query can be custom-formatted in text based output, or they can be persisted to more specialty targets like SQL, SYSLOG, or a chart.

Most software is designed to accomplish a limited number of specific tasks. Log Parser is different... the number of ways it can be used is limited only by the needs and imagination of the user. The world is your database with Log Parser.

Workflow Lite for SharePoint RC1 (Finally!)

Workflow Lite for SharePoint RC1 (Finally!)
Finally I've found some time to work some more on my SharePoint Lite for SharePoint project and today the Release Candidate 1 can be downloaded form the GotDotNet Workspace. RC1 is feature-complete for V1 (I've already got some cool features for the next version in mind), to get an idea what's possible you can watch this video. To install the workflow engine, execute the MSI package (so the assembly gets deployed to the GAC) and follow the installation instructions closely. The installation instructions are modified a little bit, so the installation video isn't up to date anymore but it will be updated ASAP. Probably the main part in the installation is the creation of the config file that contains the workflow logic. At this point you need to alter the configuration XML file manually, but there's a Configuration Application on its way. A very basic configuration file could look like this (updated on the 15th of June, see http://weblogs.asp.net/jan/archive/2004/06/15/156419.aspx)

CRN | Breaking News | Microsoft Readies Server Changes

CRN | Breaking News | Microsoft Readies Server Changes
Microsoft's shifting server strategy looks to be shifting some more.
The company is moving toward converging SharePoint Portal Server (SPS) and Content Management Server (CMS) functionality into a single "server system," due in 2006, CRN has learned.

Microsoft officials have discussed the plans so much that some partners thought the move had been definitively announced. It has not.

SPS, the focal point of Microsoft's collaboration strategy, hosts departmental collaboration sites and deals with Web content. CMS is more geared for traditional content management.

"CMS and SharePoint are merging, and it makes sense," said one source close to Microsoft. A solution provider in the Northwest concurred that the rationale is sound: "We're doing a lot of point integration between CMS and SPS. I don't think we have one CMS deal that does not also include the portal," he said.

Despite the buzz, Microsoft remains mum. "It's too soon to comment about the future of SharePoint products and technologies or Content Management Server," said Erik Ryan, product manager of Microsoft Office Sharepoint, via email. The company remains committed to its "Office System approach," which will provide programs, servers and services to improve productivity, he said.

But several sources said the plan is a go for 2006, with the new server system to be part of the Office 12 product wave. Office 12 is the planned successor to Office 2003.

TheServerSide.NET - Integrating 3rd Party Single Sign On in Sharepoint Portal Server

TheServerSide.NET - Integrating 3rd Party Single Sign On in Sharepoint Portal Server: "Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 enables enterprises to develop an intelligent portal that seamlessly connects users, teams, and knowledge so that people can take advantage of relevant information across business processes to help them work more efficiently. Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services and SharePoint Portal Server 2003 have become very popular in recent years and have helped many businesses create an infrastructure for sharing and collaborating internal information.
Intranet users are commonly required to use a separate password to authenticate themselves to each server they need to access in the course of their work. Multiple passwords are an ongoing headache for both users and system administrators. Users have difficulty keeping track of different passwords, tend to choose poor ones, and then write them down in obvious places. Administrators must keep track of a separate password database on each server and deal with potential security problems related to the fact that passwords are sent over the network routinely and frequently.
Single sign-on (SSO) is mechanism whereby a single action of user authentication and authorization can permit a user to access all computers and systems that he or she has access permissions for, without the need to enter multiple passwords. "

FrontPoint

FrontPoint
I have a Data View Web Part that displays the status of several different servers I maintain. Basically, I am using a SharePoint list. The List has a Title field which contains the name of each server and a multiple choice field that lets me set the status to "UP," "DOWN," or "CAUTION."

For each of these three statuses, I have a little gif image of a green arrow, red arrow and yellow circle respectively. What I want to do is create a data view that has the name of the server and displays the arrow based on the what the status is.

Here's how to do that.

Open the wss site in FrontPage 2003
Click Data..Insert Data View
Right click the SharePoint list that contains my data
Click "Show Data"
Select the Title field
Click "Insert Data View"
Since I only selected one field, I get a bulleted list. So I change this: by clicking on Data..Style > General tab and changing to Tabular view..OK
Place the Cursor next to one of the server names and add a new column to my view: Table > Insert > Rows and Columns
Place the Cursor inside a cell in this new column and insert my image
Insert > Picture from file
I type in the URL to the green.gif
Next to this image, I insert the red.gif and yellow.gif as well so each row of data now shows all three images
Select the green.gif image
Click on Data..Conditional Formatting
Click Create
Click Show Content...
I create a filter that says "Status == UP"..OK (now the green arrow only shows in rows where status is UP)
Repeat steps 13 through 17 for the other two gifs, setting the filter appropriately
Save the page
Using Conditional Formatting opens up a huge world of possibilities. You can modify views by passing parameters via web part connections, you can format items conditionally, you can show data or hide data based on complex XPATH by clicking on the Advanced button in the filter dialog, and on and on.

Writing Windows SharePoint Services Server-Side controls

Writing Windows SharePoint Services Server-Side controls
Overview

This post tries to describe the process of writing a .NET server-side control for Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services
There are a number of ways to write add-in code for SharePoint Technologies, the most notable being web parts.
However, these do not always help in the customisation of a site. Sometimes, we need to be able to change the
SharePoint look'n'feel and web parts do not integrate seamlessly in an area we want to control.. If we consider that
SharePoint is an ASP.NET application, we are able to use other .NET techniques to deliver the look and customisation we want.

One of those methods is via compiled controls. Most commonly used would be user controls but we can also write

server controlsn Mini-Navigator
In this post, I will be describing how I wrote a server control that I call a Mini-Navigator. See below: ...

SPS 2003 contains a search scope called People, but counter to most people's expectations this not only returns people that match the search term, but also documents, lists etc authored by those people. For very many organisations I work with finding other people in the organization is a real problem and most have built and maintain custom applications to enable employees to search for colleagues by name.

HowTo: Display a different image inside a data view web part based on data in the XML

HowTo: Display a different image inside a data view web part based on data in the XML
I have a Data View Web Part that displays the status of several different servers I maintain. Basically, I am using a SharePoint list. The List has a Title field which contains the name of each server and a multiple choice field that lets me set the status to "UP," "DOWN," or "CAUTION."

For each of these three statuses, I have a little gif image of a green arrow, red arrow and yellow circle respectively. What I want to do is create a data view that has the name of the server and displays the arrow based on the what the status is.
