STSADM Technical Reference for SharePoint

If you are one of the 7 readers of this blog, then you have seen a post or two from me in reference to stsadm and some tips to it:  Shortcuts, command history, posters, etc…  Well snap!  The SharePoint Server TechCenter just published another fantastic tool (in Silverlight) for us stsadm challenged people. So, what can you do with it?

  1. You can search for a command, and as you do it will filter out commands that don’t match your search term

  2. You can filter commands by Operations / Properties

  3. You can also filter commands by UI/SP1/SP2/ALL

  4. Click on a header to Hide/Show that column

  5. And the best part of all (the reason you would use this tool), you can click on a command name to get a description of the command, with a link directly to additional content for the command on TechNet.
