New Features
Here are the features that are new since CTP release (for a complete list of features refer to this article):
· Support for IIS kernel mode and user mode output caching. IIS
7.0 output caching provides significant performance improvements for
web applications. URL rewrite module is fully compatible with both
types of output caching. This means that it is possible to safely cache
responses for rewritten URL’s and thus boost the performance of web
applications that rely on URL rewriting.
· Lower case conversion.
A lower case conversion function called “ToLower” can be used within
rewrite rule to convert any rule input string or substitution URL to
lower case.
· Rule templates.
Rule template is an extension for URL rewrite module user interface,
that simplifies creation of rewrite rules for a particular task. The
Go Live release of the module includes 3 built-in rule templates, plus
it allows plugging in any number of custom templates.
· UI for testing of regular expression and wildcard patterns.
A GUI tool for testing rule patterns is included into the module’s user
interface. The tool can be used to quickly check how the regular
expression or wildcard pattern works. Also, it can be used for
troubleshooting and debugging of problems related to pattern matching.
· UI for managing rewrite rules and rewrite maps. Rewrite rules and rewrite maps can be added, removed and edited by using “URL Rewrite Module” feature in IIS Manager.

SharePoint Administration Toolkit 2.0 is Now Available!

SharePoint Administration Toolkit 2.0 is Now Available!
I’m excited to announce that the second version of the Microsoft SharePoint Administration Toolkit is available for download! As I said back in April,
we would be offering regular updates to this toolkit with new features
and functionality for both Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and
Windows SharePoint Services v3.0. With this release we
added functionality to address some of the challenges associated with
running a highly available and/or geographically disperse MOSS 2007
deployment—particularly aimed at synchronizing user profiles in the
Shared Service Provider (SSP). Let’s look at these two areas:
High Availability
In order to provide a highly available Shared Service Provider, your deployment needs two identical SSPs available at all times. While
this is easily done with search (each SSP has its own crawler and can
create their own index)—keeping user profile data in sync is a bit more
involved. You can see detailed instructions on running a highly available environment on Microsoft TechNet:
Geographical Replication
If
your company is geographically disperse, you may not want to have a
single MySite farm serving your users worldwide since some users may
experience significant lag in response times depending on WAN bandwidth
and traffic characteristics. Instead, it may be better to have several SSP farms located around the globe. Just like in the highly available environment, this configuration would require that user profile data is kept in sync.
Since
synchronizing user profiles is something available in the MOSS 2007
product, some of you might wonder what we’ve done in the toolkit! Well,
if you’ve ever tried to use the User Profile web services to achieve
synchronized profiles—you’ve noticed it’s a very involved process with
lots of code (and therefore a lot of room for mistakes). In
this release, we’ve built a supported tool for scheduling partial or
full replications of any number of your user profile attributes:
For a full overview of features and instructions see the official Microsoft TechNet articles for MOSS 2007 and WSS v3.0.
