Usage Report and Audit Log report showing different totals

I am trying to understand the differences displayed in two similar reports. The first report is an 'Audit Log' Report and it is displaying the number of Resource Account creations over a time period. The second report is a Usage Report using the exact same criteria (objectType = Resource Account and Action = Create). The totals I get back are VASTLY different. Can anyone explain? Is this a known bug?

Hi,
In any report we don't show the storage policies information. In Cost report if the storage policies have different rate factors then we will show the split for the storage information. But in usage report , rate factors will not be applicable as we don''t show the cost details. Hope this clarifies your question. Please let us know if you need more information.
Thanks,

'Content viewing' in 'Audit Log reports' throws timout error

I have enabled 'Reports' in the site collection features and I am tryin gto generate the 'Content viewing' in 'Audit Log reports'. This keeps me waiting for a couple of minutes and throws a timeout error. Could you please let me know why is this happening
and is there any way to resolve it ?
I am getting the below error in UI and in my logging database
System.Exception
Reason: Request timed out. URL:

Thank you
Regards Rahul A

Hi,
According to your issue, firstly, please check if your hardware performance is poor or the site collection has numerous data, if so, improve the hardware or pull the
data out of the tables, then check the effect.
Secondly, if you cannot view audit reports for the site http://servername /sites/sitename
Try to detach and attach content database for the site you want to view, then check the effect.

Runtime error for Audit Log reports

Hi,
I have activated Reports feature at Site Collection level and then tried to run custom report for Dashboard library under Audit Log Reports but I got Run Time error. I tried on my local machine and on server.
Can any body let me know how to resolve this issue to get custom report?
Any help would be appreciated.
BELOW IS THE ERROR MESSAHE:
Server Error in '/' Application
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed
by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application.
This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

The audit log reporting is kind of tricky to work with...until you know what you're doing.
Some things to check: Do you have the Reporting feature enabled? Do you have auditing enabled on sites in this site collection? Have any events been triggered that would have written to the audit logs? Did you specify an output library
for the report? Will the report have any data?
Also, look at the SharePoint logs in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS\ and let us know any "Unexpected" errors.

Using Powershell Script Run simple query in MS Access 2007 and export the results of query to Excel

Hi Experts,
I have a Access 2007 DB file and 2 Big tables inside that (bigger than the size that can be easily handled by MS Excel 2007).
My requirement is automate using powershell scripts the below things.
1. Create a SQL query in Access DB and save that in access DB
2. Run the saved query and export the result in excel sheet where I can create the charts and Pivots. Thanks in advance
Prajesh

Do you have to use the Access query, couldn't you just recreate the query in Powershell? Here's a link with good info that references an existing script for querying an Access database:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2009/08/13/hey-scripting-guy-can-i-query-a-microsoft-access-database-with-a-windows-powershell-script.aspx
Once you have your dataset you can pipe it to
Export-Csv -NoType c:\pathtofile\output.csv

Not certain this is what you're after, but this :
#import the contents of both csv files
$dbexcel=import-csv c:\dbexcel.csv
$liveexcel=import-csv C:\liveexcel.csv
#prepare the output csv and create the headers
$outputexcel="c:\outputexcel.csv"
$outputline="Name,Connection Status,Version,DbExcel,LiveExcel"
$outputline | out-file $outputexcel
#Loop through each record based on the number of records (assuming equal number in both files)
for ($i=0; $i -le $dbexcel.Length-1;$i++)
# Assign the yes / null values to equal the word equivalent
if ($dbexcel.isavail[$i] -eq "yes") {$dbavail="Available"} else {$dbavail="Unavailable"}
if ($liveexcel.isavail[$i] -eq "yes") {$liveavail="Available"} else {$liveavail="Unavailable"}
#create the live of csv content from the two input csv files
$outputline=$dbexcel.name[$i] + "," + $liveexcel.'connection status'[$i] + "," + $dbexcel.version[$i] + "," + $dbavail + "," + $liveavail
#output that line to the csv file
$outputline | out-file $outputexcel -Append
should do what you're looking for, or give you enough to edit it to your exact need.
I've assumed that the dbexcel.csv and liveexcel.csv files live in the root of c:\ for this, that they include the header information, and that the outputexcel.csv file will be saved to the same place (including headers).
