Plan for administrative and service accounts (Office SharePoint Server)

Use this article to plan for the account requirements and recommendations for accounts that are required to install, configure, and use Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.You must provide credentials for these accounts when you run Setup and during configuration. This article does not discuss accounts for which you do not need to configure or provide credentials.The accounts are grouped according to scope. If an account has a limited scope, you might need to plan multiple accounts for this category. For example, if you are implementing multiple Shared Services Providers (SSPs), you must designate multiple SSP accounts.After you complete installation and configuration of accounts, ensure that you do not use the local system account to perform administration tasks or to browse sites. For example, do not use the same account that is used to run setup to perform administration tasks.And also see all the part on Server farm-level accounts...

SharePoint Server 2007 Code Sample: Item-Level Auditing

Brief Description : This code sample shows you how to create an item-level auditing view programmatically in three different ways: using a custom SharePoint list, through the Excel client, and by manipulating the open XML file format to display auditing history using Excel Services on an application page.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides auditing by default but it does not give the ability for a non-administrator to view the auditing history of a specific document or item in a list.

This code sample shows a developer how to extend this auditing functionality to create an item-level auditing view in three different ways:

1. using a custom SharePoint list,
2. through the Excel client,
3. by manipulating the open XML file format to display auditing history using Excel Services on an application page.

It is accompanied by a thorough white paper describing the code as well as a setup document.

Automatic My Site creation with SharePoint 2007
Last week I got the question if it would be possible to automatically create the My Site for a specific user in SharePoint Server 2007. Normally the My Site gets created when the user accesses it for the first time. I got a some advice from a fellow MVP - Pierre but when I looked at it a little more closely I noticed that some of the classes used in SharePoint Portal Server 2003 are now obsolete.
