SharePoint Manager 2007
SharePoint Manager 2007 (SPM2007) is a SharePoint object model explorer. It enables you to browse every site on the local farm and view every property. It also enables you to change the properties. This is a very powerful tool for SharePoint Developers and Administrators that like to know what secrets SharePoint holds.
SPM2007 is developed by Carsten Keutmann and he was so friendly to make the tool available for everybody by placing it on CodePlex. You may know Carsten from one of his other projects – WSPBuilder, a SharePoint Solution Package (WSP) creation tool for WSS 3.0 & MOSS 2007.
Many times I have written small console utilities to dump things like list fields, view CAML, and so on. All these you can now simply browse with SPM2007. It provides all information you need in the following areas:
- Farm setting
- Farm servers
- Web App overview
- Web App on server
- Central admin options
- Definitions export (list, content type)
- Account Security overview
I think SPM2007 can save you a lot of time, and will increase your understanding of the SharePoint Object Model. It does for me. SPM2007 is a single executable file that does not require any additionale software installed on your MOSS / WSS servers.
Warning: SPM2007 enables you to update the data in the SharePoint Object Model directly. Therefore be very careful when changing the data!
