COSSUG Presents: Gary Lapointe

Gary Lapointe will be presenting at the Colorado Springs, SharePoint User's Group on Oct. 10th, 2008.

The topic for the evening will be: Using and Creating STSADM Commands

SharePoint provides a great, user-friendly, interface for configuring and managing the product but what do you do when you need to go beyond what the browser interface provides you or when you want to script the configurations (perhaps you want to automate your install)? To accommodate these needs Microsoft has provided an extensible command line tool called STSADM. Some of the configurations that STSADM supports cannot even be done via the OOTB web interface. And, if you’re unable to find a command that suits you then you can easily extend the tool by creating your own command which can work seamlessly with the built-in commands. This presentation will discuss the details of what STSADM is and some tips for using it, some common commands that demonstrate the power of the tool, and how to build your own custom STSADM extensions along with some best practices to consider when using or building commands. There’ll be lots of great stuff for both administrators and developers!
