Is there an stsadm() command (or some other method) that will show everywhere that a Solution is being used. I would like to get the results in a list using either the solution GUID or the fully qualified name (like CorasWork.Workplace.WebParts.ActionLauncher...)
I found the stsadm() operation enum solutions which was very helpful, but it does not show you what sites or pages that a control is being used on.
How can I get that information?

No there isn't an out of the box way of doing this - you'd have to code it. Now this isn't a sales pitch and the tool isn't commercially available or even commercial quality but I do have a content analysis tool I wrote that does what you ask and a lot more besides. Basically I use the tool to analyse new clients farms and especially close to a migration so that I know what lives where and have a grasp on the types of content they store and how well they store it. ANyway, as an example here is a snippet of what you might do:
public XmlDocument CreateAssetLibrary(string siteURL, Delegate callback)
{
//Set up the XML and go get the data
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
XmlDeclaration dec = doc.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0", null, null);
doc.AppendChild(dec);
var pi = doc.CreateProcessingInstruction("xml-stylesheet", "type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"contentanalysis.xsl\"");
doc.AppendChild(pi);
using (SPSite siteColl = new SPSite(siteURL))
{
using (SPWeb web = siteColl.OpenWeb())
{
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
XmlElement sitecollections = doc.CreateElement("sitecollections");
SPWebApplication webApp = web.Site.WebApplication;
totalSites = webApp.Sites.Count;
foreach (SPSite site in webApp.Sites)
{
started = DateTime.Now;
websProcessedThisSite = 0;
totalWebsThisSite = site.AllWebs.Count;
webCount = 0;
listCount = 0;
itemCount = 0;
fileCount = 0;
listItemCount = 0;
userCount = 0;
groupCount = 0;
//initiate the global profile hashtable with a catch all entry for non-file based content (i.e. SPListItems)
globalHash.Clear();
globalHash.Add(nonFileID, new ContentItem(nonFileID, 0, 0));
SPWeb currentWeb = site.OpenWeb();
XmlElement sitecollection = doc.CreateElement("sitecollection");
sitecollection.SetAttribute("sitename", currentWeb.Title);
sitecollection.SetAttribute("link", currentWeb.Url);
XmlElement structure = getXML(currentWeb, doc, callback);
XmlElement profile = getProfile(doc);
XmlElement stats = getStats(doc);
structure.AppendChild(profile);
structure.AppendChild(stats);
sitecollection.AppendChild(structure);
sitecollections.AppendChild(sitecollection);
sitesProcessed++;
callback.DynamicInvoke(new Object[6] { doc.InnerXml, Convert.ToInt32(totalSites), Convert.ToInt32(sitesProcessed), 0, 0, doc });
}
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
doc.AppendChild(sitecollections);
}
}
return doc;
}
The easy thing to do would be to report on which SITES or WEBS were using a feature / solution. Harder would be per-page - you'd extend this to go through each page in the library and inspect the metadata to esatblish the features being used.
