    Thanks for releasing this tool. I’m one of, what I’m sure is a long list of people, that has been waiting for this and I’m looking forward to trying it out.

    FYI, there is a typo in your install document.

    “stsasdm -o addsolution -filename LiebrandUrlShortener.wsp”

    I want to thank you for this wonderful solution. 'Solution', indeed, as I work for an organization that insists both on text-only email (no wrapping) and also access by Blackberry, both nightmare conditions for supporting a SharePoint site.

    Have successfully configured my own site, and will soon attempt the organization farm. Thanks from all of us…

    Paul. I created a shortened URL to a SharePoint page, tested it, then emailed to check from work. “Page not found,” I believe the error was. When I got home, the link no longer worked.

    Just re-did a new shortened URL, and that works fine. Will test from work again tomorrow.

    Is there any reason a link would cease to be effective?

    In case anyone else runs into this…

    Installed in Sharepoint Foundation but couldnt set the shortener url.
    There was no link in the central administration.
    When trying to generate a short url I Ran into the error “cant find shortener url”

    I manually browsed to here and set the url
    http://CentralAdministrationSite/_admin/Liebrand.UrlShortener/UrlShortenerSettings.aspx

    Started working

    I take that back,. the links generate but I cant link to them,..

    You should consider using the out of the box functionality that SharePoint 2010 offers similar to this called Document ID.

    Just implemented this. When I click on Global Configuration -> SharePoint URL Shortener Settings I get an Unknown Error. I believe these are the related entries in the log file:

    03/11/2011 11:18:15.77 w3wp.exe (0x0C54) 0×0478 Windows SharePoint Services General 8e1f High Failed to find the XML file at location ’12TemplateFeaturesSharePointFeaturesVisibility_Featurefeature.xml’

    Any ideas as to what’s going on? I deployed per your instructions, although I did have to do a separate deployment to my admin server before I saw the feature listed in “Manage Farm Features”.
