Just a quick post about a tool I just found: the STSADM.EXE WCM Custom commands tool, developed by Andrew Connell (see his blog).

This tool lets enables some administrative actions specifically related to Web content management in Office Sharepoint Server 2007 like publishing all items in a web, generating the XML elements file for content types and site columns.

This is the link to the tool: http://www.andrewconnell.com/blog/articles/MossStsadmWcmCommands.aspx
