I've been heads down with migration to SharePoint 2010 and I have been using
ControlPoint to do a lot of the administering of our various sites. I had worked with this tool before in 2007 and they have really done a lot of upgrades regarding functionality. You can move sites and content between your environments, run reports, and there is a lot of functionality that really makes your life easier and helps to eliminate doing something several times on your different environments. I have had to call their customer service department and despite a miscommunication on our initial conversation, they are very friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable.
Studying seems to have taken a backseat recently so I probably won't update on it again until I have actually made some real progress instead of the nothing has changed over and over again.
