From our bloggers: Helping users get around your SharePoint site: Customizing Navigation Susan Hanley: Microsoft has published some excellent resources to help site designers customize site navigation. Here's a guide to what's available. MicroHoo Search - coming to a browser near you Kerrie Meyler: Microsoft will have a 10-year license to Yahoo's core search technology, with the ability to integrate those technologies into its existing web search platforms. Yahoo is stopping R&D on their search engine and ad selling software. How relevant is Windows 7 certification to your career? Bryan Sullins: In my line of work as an enterprise-level training provider, we're already getting client requests for Windows 7 classes and certifications. And some of those are from large enterprises. Performance Analysis of Logs (PAL) Tool Is a PAL every Administrator needs Ron Barrett: One of the most frustrating and time consuming tasks for an IT professional is the time spent analyzing and trying to make sense of performance counter log files. The Performance Analysis of Logs or PAL tool is a free offering from Microsoft's CodePlex site. Delaying Startup Services Glenn Weadock: In our ongoing discussion of process prioritization, I thought it might be interesting to discuss Longhorn's "Delayed Start" service type. It reminds me of an old Audi 200 I used to own, which needed to idle for a couple of minutes before being driven. The Hidden Cost of Out-of-Cycle Security Patches Mitchell Ashley: Last week we all had to deal with the emergency Microsoft security patches due to a critical exposure in the Active Template Library (templates used for COM+ development) that could result in local code execution by a hacker. The Move-Mailbox cmdlet, a Cross-Forest move, and a complex password Tyson Kopczynski: From time to time, I come across things that just frustrate the hell out of me... the Move-Mailbox cmdlet was dying with an error when objects on the target side were being merged. Now use C#.NET in SSIS 2008 Scripting tasks... Brian Egler: SSIS provides scalability, performance, debugging and a brand new architecture based on .NET for extensibility. So when we used the scripting task we could surely use any .NET language. Wrong! Criteo allows advertisers to re-target users to increase sales. Alpa Agarwal: Users visit a site up to 5 times on average before making a purchase, according to Criteo. Criteo serves targeted banner advertisements to users, goading them to go ahead and make that purchase. The banner can offer up a special prices or information.
