New Version IISLogs 2.0 - RTM

• We are excited to announce IISLogs 2.0 - RTM as of March 15th, 2008. We added functionality to run IISLogs in IISLogsGUI. In addition, another requested feature was an 'Auto-add' option. If configured, every time IISLogs 2.0 executes, the 'Auto-add' feature queries the local metabase for new sites, if found IISLogs will process the new folders and add them to the configuration file.
  
  Another feature introduced in IISLogs 2.0 is a Per Directory option. This allows an administrator to apply configuration settings to individual folders, including files with no extension or 'unknown' extensions. This can be useful when 3rd party products have their own naming convention. As always, we encourage everyone to try on a non-production system and make backup copies of your log files before deploying on a production system. Download, install and recover your disk space today!  If you have downloaded a previous version of IISLogs 2.0, please update your version.
  
  Enjoy,

IISLogsLite 2.0 (Free version)

• We are excited to announce IISLogsLite 2.0.  This is a free product and has more functionality than IISLogs Lite 1.0. (it was limited to a single directory).  We added functionality to run IISLogsLite.exe inside the GUI along with an 'Auto-add' feature.  If configured, every time IISLogsLite executes the 'Auto-add' feature will query the local metabase and determine if any new sites have been added.  IISLogsLite will automatically process the new directories without having to manually configure the new directories.   You still have the option to add other directories besides IIS logs so other products with ".log" extensions IISLogsLite 2.0 can process these files too.  
  
  Our goal with IISLogsLite 2.0 is to meet most administrators log archiving needs.  The one requirement is the .NET 2.0 framework needs to be installed.  Here is a webpage with help instructions including a link to download IISLogsLite 2.0.  http://iislogs.com/help/configure_iislogs_lite_version20.htm   As always, we encourage everyone to try on a non-production system and make backup copies of you log files before deploying on a production system.  Enjoy!
