Downloads
On this page you can find several useful download links for tools and documentation. Besides 3rd party tools there are also a couple of tools that I have developed in my spare time. Please feel free to leave a comment when you think there is a tool missing or when you have problems with one off my own tools.
SharePoint Log Reader
The SharePoint Log Reader is a tool for reading the SharePoint logs. This tool makes it very easy to read those files.
Version: 1.0 – Microsoft Office SharePoint Server Log Reader
The first time that you use the log reader you have to change the folder location of the log files.
You can change the log file location by selecting “Options” – “Settings”. In the settings window you can browse to the file location of your choice.
Normally the SharePoint log file location is:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\Logs
In the settings screen you can also change the visibility of certain columns.
Features off the SharePoint Log Reader are:
- Read SharePoint log files even if they are saved in another folder.
- Making columns visible and invisible.
- Search trough the log file.
If you find any bugs, or you have some suggestions for additions please let me know. You can report the bugs or make suggestions be leaving a comment or sending an e-mail by using the e-mail page.
Run Expiration Policy
Within SharePoint there is something called 'Expiration Policy'. This is a policy that SharePoint only runs once a day so it is hard to test your custom expiration policy or workflow that you have attached to the policy (only possible trough Central Administration).
The tool will make testing your policy easy by automaticly starting the expiration policy when you start the program.
Run Expiration Policy
