sharepoint STSADM

The Windows Version of STSADM is here!

One of the most frequently used utilities in SharePoint (2007 as well as 2003) is STSADM. As STSADM is a command line utility, and the command-line is somewhat limited compared to Windows GUI, especially when it comes to non-English usage, there is a room for GUIs like stsadmWin (STSADM for Windows). stsadmWin reads a list of commands from an XML file (namely: operations.xml), and displays a combo with the operations, denoting mandatory and optional parameters, and linking to the utility’s help.
