Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 is bundled with several audit reports valuable to analyze activity across a site collection, or a specific library or list. With the Configure Audit Settings, we could construct the site collection level auditing, and with Information Management Policy we can define the library level policy. The reports can be readily saved in a useful format for review.
Details and demonstration videos...
We must enable usage analytics to measure our SharePoint site usage and performance through the Site Usage Reports and Site Collection Usage Reports of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 or through Site Usage Reports provided by Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007.

On my previous article, I have mentioned of the object models of Windows SharePoint Services Web services designed for creating solutions that work with Windows SharePoint Services. One of the Web services I have tabulated on the same piece was Meetings Web service, the spotlight of this post.
Details...
The Windows SharePoint Services Web services provided by the Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer namespace includes methods that provide Microsoft .NET Framework developers with object models for creating solutions that work with Windows SharePoint Services remotely from a client or custom application. They are defined through the server-side object model of the Microsoft.SharePoint assembly, and their design is optimized to reduce the number of roundtrips transacted between client computer and server.
Most Web services are provided through the /_vti_bin virtual directory, which maps to the \\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web Server extensions\12\ISAPI physical directory. The Administration Web service is provided through the /_vti_adm virtual directory, which maps to \\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web Server extensions\12\ ADMISAPI physical directory.
In my previous blog, I have mentioned that Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 / Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 is bundled with lists and libraries. A SharePoint library, as I have mentioned, is a location on a SharePoint site where we can create, collect, update, and manage files, including document library, picture library, and form library. On this post, I have tabulated the assemblies and components necessary for SharePoint library files programming.

Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 is bundled with lists and libraries. A list is a collection of information, including announcement, discussion board, and calendar. A library, on the other hand, is a location on a SharePoint site where we can create, collect, update, and manage files, including document library, picture library, and form library. On top of lists and libraries is the Windows SharePoint Services object model that consists of more than few assemblies and namespaces - that can used to programmatically interact with our SharePoint site components, including SharePoint lists and libraries.

As I have mentioned in my previous piece, Microsoft Search Server 2008 (MSS) and Microsoft Search Server 2008 Express (MSSX) are built on Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. It is designed for an organization who wants to benefit from the power of search without having Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. There are times, however, that we need to upgrade our existing MSS 2008 or MSSX 2008 to MOSS 2007, or moving our existing WSS 3.0 to MSS 2000 or MSSX 2008.
Before performing any upgrade process, however, it is recommended to read first the Microsoft Search Server 2008 Upgrade Path provided by Microsoft and consider the tables below.

By opening the Microsoft Enterprise Search 2008 site, we will be clutched by a statement that describes the essence of this technology: “Search doesn't have to be complicated. You can deliver search solutions to your organization quickly and easily with Microsoft Search Server 2008.”
Microsoft Search Server 2008 (MSS) and Microsoft Search Server 2008 Express (MSSX) are built on Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. It is designed for an organization who wants to benefit from the power of search without having Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. As a constituent of the huge spectrum of MOSS 2007, either MSS or MSSX is the right technology for an enterprise who only wants to have its information searchable. If we are running Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and want to enjoy the power of enterprise searching, therefore, we need MSS or MSSX. Microsoft has provided us guide to compare and identify which search product is right for us.

Excel Services is a part of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and is built on Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and ASP.NET. Architecturally, it is a composite of Excel Web Access, Excel Web Services, and Excel Calculation Services. While the Excel Web Access is a web part that renders Excel workbooks on SharePoint page, the Excel Web Services provides access to its Web service. Moreover, the Excel Calculation Services is designed to load, calculate, and refresh data.
As I have mentioned in my previous blog, I will dedicate my entire month of August in sharing with you demonstration videos and contents on Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.
The demonstration video is available here.Thanks...
