I wrote a Console application, which will allow you do some common tasks for your SharePoint environment. stsadm lacks some functionality like recyling all list items from a list...
Just copy the exe to your SharePoint Server, and execute it with an account which has the appropriate rights on your farm.
Usage:
SharePointConsole http://siteurl[/weburl] Command [Parameter1 Parameter2]
The SharePointConsole has the following parameters:
- EnumContentTypes
- CreateContentType
- RenameContentType
- DeleteContentType
- DeleteAllListItems
- ShowInNewForm
- ShowInEditForm
- ShowInDisplayForm
- DeleteAllVersions
- RecycleAllVersions
- SetTitleWithFilename
- SetSearchCenterUrl
- SystemUpdate
- FeatureManager
- EmptyRecycleBin
EnumContentType:
Returns all content types from the specified sitecollection.
