A new Silverlight based help tool!

This is a pretty cool tool to both browse the commands and documentation, but to also see what’s new in each service pack.

For MOSS:

Charts!

Microsoft has wall sized charts for WSS and MOSS STSADM commands:

• MOSS: http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/sharepoint/Documents/STSADM%20Posters/Stsadm_Cmd-Line_MOSS_2007.png

Remember… STSADM is extendable and will generally have commands added with each service pack. Here’s how to add your own extensions (for .Net developers!):
