ULS log viewer for SharePoint 2013

Good news for all the on-premises SharePoint Infrastructure Admins and Developers. An improved ULS Log viewer for SharePoint 2013 has been released a few days ago. I was concerned for a couple of years that there wasn’t any movement on updating my number 1 favourite SharePoint tool. However, I did see a video where Bill Baer there was a hint of how bad the tool was and they’d do something about the tool.. so here it is – a new ULS Log Viewer……
Download it here:
Some new features:
1. Monitor multiple servers simultaneously
ULSLogViewer-SharePoint2013
2. Locate specific log entries via command line
3. Highlight and personalise the output if a filter match occurs
Some fixes I have noticed:
1. More stability when working with the filters
2. Multiple fixes such as filtering on pause state
Can we use it for SharePoint 2010?
Yes! It works well for SharePoint 2010. However, you would need to ensure that .NET 4.5.1 is installed on the server you run ULS Viewer on. With SharePoint 2010, .NET 3.5 is used and you might not find .NET 4.5.1 on your SharePoint 2010 servers.
Download Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 (Offline Installer) here:http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=40779
I have tested it successfully on Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

Add List Item Attachments to Task Form using Nintex Workflow and Forms

Image
DECEMBER 19, 2017  ~  NICOLE PRESTBY I had a requirement from a client recently to show all list item attachments on the various task forms in an approval process – which, if you think about it, makes total sense. With any project, we always have a common goal of making the user experience as seamless as possible for our users and approvers. So, why wouldn’t we provide all pertinent information needed (including related documents) to complete the requested review and approval, right there on the task form? I found  a post  on Nintex Connect which walks through meeting this requirement by leveraging  a custom action  created by Nintex Technical Evangelist,  Vadim Tabakman . But, what if you don’t have access to deploy a custom action to your SharePoint environment? In this case, I actually didn’t have access to the client’s server. So, I decided to come up with a solution that would produce a similar outcome, without the need for any custom actions. The Workflow Get Att
