14 DAY TRIAL // Packed into the Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Administration Toolkit 2.0 is a new tool designed to make it easier for IT administrators to get to the root of SharePoint Server 2010 issues. The solution is a new addition to the toolkit which has been available for download since late April 2011.
SharePoint customers can head over to the Microsoft Download Center and download version 2.0 of the SharePoint 2010 Administration Toolkit, which comes with the new SharePoint Diagnostic Studio 2010 (SPDiag 3.0).
According to Bill Baer, Senior Technical Product Manager, SharePoint, this release of the SharePoint Diagnostic Studio is designed to introduce a major overhaul compared to previous diagnostics toolkits from the software giant.
“The SharePoint Diagnostics Studio offers unprecedented depth surfacing every request, across every machine, remotely, with minimal permissions. This depth and usage allows the IT Professional or Developer to rapidly identity and isolate issues without requiring access to the physical hardware that supports the underlying environment,” Baer stated.
“The SharePoint Diagnostics Studio gathers and consolidates Event and Diagnostic (ULS) logs in addition to information from the Usage database and presents it through a graphical user interface supporting clarity and a single view into issues impacting a deployment.
“The SharePoint Diagnostics Studio provides a wide variety of reports intended to address the most common issues impacting capacity, performance, availability, and usage that can be used independently or together to identify and isolate issues occurring in a SharePoint environment.”
IT pros managing SharePoint environments will be able to turn to the SharePoint DiagnosticsStudio in order to help get to the bottom of issues users come across.
Server diagnostic information is structured and presented to administrators in visual reports designed to streamline troubleshooting. The promise from Microsoft is that the new solution will accelerate to cut down the amount of time needed to resolve performance, reliability and functionality problems.
