ULSViewer allows users to open a ULS (Unified Logging Service) log file and display its contents in a user friendly format. Users can then perform advanced functions such as filtering, sorting, highlighting, loading logs, appending logs, etc in order to single out the data that is important to the user. This information can be used to diagnose problems with machines running ULS services, or to monitor machines and the events they create in realtime.

You can use this tool whenever you run into problems with i.e SharePoint. The log can be viewed in real-time.

I’ve been struggling with kerberos authentication and SharePoint (in combination with SSAS and SSRS Server) for quite some days now. I found something useful in creating the SPN’s needed for kerberos. It’s an Excel sheet, in which you enter some values of your environment and he will return you the SETSPN’s you need to do.

You can download it here: Excel Sheet SPN Calculator.

Special thanks goes out to user SPRobot of the site www.sharepointblogs.com, who posted the sheet.
