  • Day 3 of IIS at Tech∙Ed IT Forum in Barcelona

    Today was the third day at Microsoft Tech∙Ed: IT Forum 2006 in Barcelona, and customers are still asking some great questions about IIS. Today more customers mostly asked about their current IIS deployments and ways that they could make things better, but occasionally someone would ask, "So what's different about IIS 7?" That's such a great question, because there's so many new features to demo and talk about.

  • Day 2: IIS at Tech∙Ed IT Forum in Barcelona

    Today was the second day of Microsoft Tech∙Ed: IT Forum 2006 in Barcelona. So far everything seems to be going well, and I've had the chance to talk with some great customers.

    Today was the first official day of the 2006 Microsoft Tech∙Ed: IT Forum in Barcelona.

  • Converting W3C log files to NCSA format

    Around a year ago I wrote a blog entry titled "Converting NCSA log files to W3C format", which showed how to use the MSWC.IISLog object to convert log files in the NCSA format back to W3C format. I wrote that blog entry to make up for the fact that the CONVLOG.EXE utility only converts log files to NCSA format, which some older log analysis software packages require. So what happens if you have a bunch of log files in W3C format and you don't have a copy of CONVLOG.EXE on your computer?
