The bug is that when you edit the model, modify the latency of the site to site connections and then save the model, after you re-open the model the latencies are reset to 10ms.

I posted the bug to the SCCP managed forum and I would like to compliment Jonathan Hardwick from Microsoft on his prompt response. He has confirmed the problem as a bug. So hopefully a patch or release will be available soon to fix the problem.

The Sharepoint 2007 permissions matrix is a great reference of the out of box permissions and how they map to the default groups.

I’ve printed this one in colour and “it’s going straight to the pool room!”

The other great reference is on the sharepoint solutions page. This is a collection of visio diagrams on all sorts of sharepoint topics. Search for the diagram on application security.

I found this gem this morning. The Sharepoint Logging Spy. It’s beta 1.3 at the moment. You will need to run it from your sharepoint server but it can collect sharepoint logs and event logs from multiple systems

It has one known issue according to the codeplex site that it cant collect sharepoint logs if they have moved from the default location. I don’t see that being too much of a problem on test servers but on production servers I would always recommend changing the logs from the system drive to an alternative disk or partition.

[a server crashing due to the system drive filling up from IIS or sharepoint logs can be a bit of a career limiting move!]

Anyhow the tools looks great so far, well worth a look and well worth adding to your ‘toolkit’
