I’ve just pushed out a new build which renames all the files and namespaces. If you download this latest build you will have to uninstall the previous build if previously installed.

I’ve seen numerous examples of people needing to save all the files from a document library or custom list (containing attachments) to disk. I didn’t necessarily need the ability myself for the upgrade we are doing but I did need a quick way to generate lots of different samples to make sure that my gl-addlistitem command was working correctly.

I’m about at my wits end with the deployment API. I had a fairly simple requirement of adding a custom list item into the site directory so that the top tasks would have some additional items post upgrade.

As part of our upgrade I wanted to make sure that usage analysis was fully enabled and configured so that site collection administrators could track how their sites were being used.

I needed to create this command in order to solve an odd permissions problem that I was experiencing. I had a web application (http://teamsites) which I’d setup and needed to start migrating sites to.

This is one of those commands that I really shouldn’t have had to create. All I wanted to do was use stsadm to add an AD group to a site collection.

In any financial institution auditing is crucial – it’s no different with my company – as such we wanted to make sure that there was at least a minimum level of auditing occurring at the site collection level.

Our previous environment had just one web application and no existing search scopes beyond the default ones. With our upgrade we wanted to (finally) take advantage of search scopes to help filter the result sets and make searches more relevant.

While walking another IT user through the SSP admin interface the other day I discovered that even though the user was a Farm Administrator that user was not able to get into certain pages within the SSP admin site (such as the profile properties page).

This posting doesn’t actually have anything to do with stsadm (unless you count the fact that you need stsadm to install Features) but I figured I’d post this here regardless as I’ve seen a lot of questions out there regarding how to do this.
