A tool which can be used to do common tasks, which Microsoft Content Management Server API provides

Introduction

MCMS Manager

Figure I

In Microsoft Content Management Server after the creation of the sites, to do modification to the postings there were no common way to do so. Mostly when something goes wrong with postings, it is not that easy to figure out what went wrong with neither Site Manager nor going through the site. Also analyzing IIS log for MCMS sites are not straight forward. This tool can be used with Site Manager to analyze postings and user visits of MCMS sites without much effort.

N.B : MCMS Manager 3.0 only supports running from the server where MCMS is installed. So it can’t be used to manage postings in remote servers. The software must be physically there in the server.
