Title: Administering Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies 2007 Using STSADM Technical Level: 300 Intended Audience: SharePoint administrators that want to improve themselves by learning new administrative tricks. Objectives (what do you want the audience to take away from this session): 1. An understanding of what STSADM is and how to use it. 2. How to use STSADM in daily administrative tasks 3. How to use STSADM to perform tasks that cannot be performed any other way. Presentation Outline (Including demos): Will demonstrate set up of environment, then general use, and finally a few tips and tricks, either obscure things, or things that can only be done with STSADM.

9. Introduction to STSADM and how to use it Common STSADM operations Backup and restore with STSADM Advanced operations with STSADM Things that can only be done with STSADM

10. Command line tool on Web front ends Must be run locally by a local administrator Not interactive, makes it a perfect candidate for scripting Hidden in the 12 Hive C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN Several ways to make it easier to access Add to path Create cmd.exe shortcut Batch file Environment variable

11. There are 184 operations in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server To find an operation, pipe STSADM through find Can be used for some common daily tasks Site maintenance Createsite/ Deletesite/ Enumsites/ Createsiteinnewdb/ Enumsubwebs Web maintenance Createweb/ Deleteweb/ Renameweb User maintenance Adduser/ Deleteuser/ Enumusers/ Migrateuser

12. DEMO

13. Can be used to back SharePoint Server at many levels Backup operation works at the farm level Compatible with backups made in Central Admin Backup operation can also back up at the Site Collection level Export and Import replace smigrate.exe and work at the Web level More granular than backup and restore Import does not overwrite destination Choose the level that is appropriate for the issue you are trying to address, catastrophic recovery or site and document backup

14. Since it’s CLI, it’s great for scripting Use AT.EXE or Task Scheduler to schedule your batch file Same flexibility, backup farm or individual site collections

16. DEMO

17. Use addtemplate and enumtemplate to manipulate templates Enumtemplate will only show user added templates Web Parts – Addwppack/ deploywppack/ enumwppacks/ retractwppack Features – Activatefeature/ deactivatefeature/ installfeature/ scanforfeatures/ uninstallfeature Solutions – Addsolution/ deploysolution/ displaysolution/ enumsolutions/ retractsolution/ upgradesolution Content Databases – Addconentdb/ deletecontentdb/ enumcontentdbs

18. Managed paths – Addpath/ Deletepath Only need to add paths, exclusions are gone Web applications – Extendvs/ unextendvs Zones and alternate access mappings – Enumzoneurls/ addzoneurl/ deletezoneurl /geturlzone Manage timer jobs with deletessptimerjob Manage web application policies with Managepolicypermissionlevel

19. A lot of power lies in the Setproperty and Getproperty operations days-to-show-new-icon sets length of time the New! Icon shows up job-immediate-alerts sets the polling time for immediate timer jobs max-template-document-size sets maximum size for site and list templates large-file-chunk-size sets the chunk size of blobs between the WFE and the SQL server execadmsvcjobs to force the Time Job Service to execute your job immediately createsiteinnewdb to create a new Site Collection in its own DB

20. STSADM operations can be added via custom code Consists of two parts Create XML file to define new operations in 12\Config Create assembly and place in Global Assembly Cache Can be deployed as Solution Couple STSADM with Windows PowerShell Use PowerShell to parse XML output Use to loop through STSADM operations Examples on CodePlex
