We’ve all been in the situation where we are expected to know why SharePoint is acting up.  Majority of the time, it takes a little bit of looking into the problem.  And the ULS Logs are the first place you should start looking.

Spencer Harbar has a great post about the ULSViewer, which greatly expedites the troubleshooting process for SharePoint 2010.  It’s certainly something every ‘SharePoint Guru’ should be using.  Be sure to check it out.

Thanks Spencer for the comic idea!
