I wonder if there's a way of knowing in which pages a web part is being used. There's a tool called SharePoint Configuration Analyzer (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=918f8c18-89dc-4b47-82ca-34b393ea70e1&displaylang=en) that does exactly that, but it only works with SharePoint 2003. Also, ControlPoint from Axceler (http://www.axceler.com/SharePointAdministration/ControlPoint.aspx) seems to do that. Do you know a free solution or a different way for doing that, i.e. programatically?Microsoft MCP 6608632

Can we assume you want this for MOSS 2007 ?SP 2010 "FAQ" (mainly useful links): http://wssv4faq.mindsharp.com/default.aspx WSS3/MOSS FAQ (FAQ and Links) http://wssv3faq.mindsharp.com/default.aspx Both also have links to extensive book lists and to (free) on-line chapters

Exactly, 2007Microsoft MCP 6608632

I'm wondering if someone has an idea, how to figure that out, I have the same problem. Thx!

Sorry, clicked Propose Answer without realizing what it would do. I found the following which looks promising... Find-WebPartPages.ps1 "Run this script on a SharePoint 2007 WFE to locate the actual page URLs where a webpart is installed. It also creates a CSV output report of the locations. Please Note: This script directly queries the SharePoint content DBs which technically isn't supported however this is a read only query and it employs non-blocking techniques. It is recommended to copy your content to a staging location, test first and use at your own risk." http://blogs.msdn.com/b/skelley/archive/2010/11/29/upgrading-to-2010-feature-and-webpart-inventory-reports.aspx -Steve-Steve
