What is Log Parser 2.2?
<From the Log Parser 2.2 documentation>
Log parser is a powerful, versatile tool that provides universal query access to text-based data such as log files, XML files and CSV files, as well as key data sources on the Windows® operating system such as the Event Log, the Registry, the file system, and Active Directory®.

I would like to add something to this... "It gives you a whole new picture of the data(files!)... an information you can act on, and fix a few things (sometimes even before they really go bad)! A great tool in any Computer Enthusiast/Administrator's arsenal :o)"
I have written an article about it on Microsoft Support Voice Column for September 2006 and it should be public pretty soon. I would update this section as soon as the KB is live.
For the time being, visit www.logparser.com to know more. You can download Log Parser 2.2 from https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=890cd06b-abf8-4c25-91b2-f8d975cf8c07&displaylang=en
I find Log Parser documentation pretty good!
I would suggest you to go through this blog entry after about a week or so if you would like to discover some of the scenarios. The KB which I was talking about is all about scenarios and some common uses of Log Parser 2.2.
Play with the tool and have fun!!!
Cheers,
Rahul

Can you tell me why the number of 'Exit Pages' is usually only about half of the 'Unique User Sessions'?
