SharePoint Sushi

For those of you who've missed it, SUSHI (SharePoint Utility with a Smart, Helpful Interface) is a great open source tool available on Codeplex. In a nutshell, you get a ton of time saving features for administrators. An example of some of the features:

• Security Reports - View all sites and lists a user has access to
  
• Copy View Copy a view from one SharePoint list to another
  
• Bulk Site Creation Create a large number of subsites based on a site template
  
• Themes Apply a Theme to many sites at once
  

You can get the download and more detailed info here , you can also visit http://www.sharepointsushi.net/

Thanks to the developer Joseph Fluckiger of Catapult Systems, you're a legend!

Cheers

MOSS Storage Planning - Best Practices

Hi Folks

For those of you SharePoint architects struggling to find some info on planning a storage platform for MOSS, Microsoft have recently released the following white paper:

Planning and Monitoring SQL Server Storage for Office SharePoint Server: Performance Recommendations and Best Practices. You can download it here.

Apparently, the SharePoint folks are working on releasing more IOPS related guidelines, but have not done so yet. When they do publish more information, they will likely update the document linked above.

Hope its useful

SharePoint Discovery Wizard from Quest

Hi

Just tested this tool out... pretty nifty, not bad for free

You can browse through all your sites quite quickly, access site settings, and create lists and libraries via the tool.

goto http://www.quest.com/sharepoint/ you will need to register, but the tool is free.

Cheers
