SharePoint PowerShell My Examples

Here are some common powershell commands that I run in sharepoint

Display Build Info
$(get-spfarm).buildversion

Display your sharepoint commands user either
Get-Command -noun sp* or help *-sp*

Display our Templates
Get-SPwebtemplate

Display Service Applications and the associated application pool
Get-SPServiceApplication | select typename,applicationpool | ogv

Display Web Applications and the associated application pool
Get-SPWebApplication | select url,applicationpool | ogv

Convert Classic to Claims Authenitication

You need to convert your web application authentication. No Problem.

Using powershell it is simple to convert from Classic to Claims based authentication.

WARNING - irreversible process

$temp = get-spwebapplication “http://intranet.contoso.com”
$temp.useclaimsauthentication = “True”
$temp.Update()

How Big is my DB?

I get this question alot.

The most simple way is to access your SQL manangement studio and look at the properties of the DB or using powershell just copy and paste the code.

 SQL manangement Studio



More fun way is to learn more about powershell

First we list the DB, then sort and calculate size in MB, add better label and finally sort my name.  Enjoy

Get-spdatabase

Get-spdatabase | sort-object disksizerequired | Format-Table name,disksizerequired

 Get-spdatabase | sort-object disksizerequired | Format-Table name,{$_.disksizerequired/1024/1024}

 Get-spdatabase | sort-object disksizerequired  |  Format-Table name, @{label = "Size in MB"; Expression = {$_.disksizerequired/1024/1024}}

 Get-spdatabase | sort-object name  |  Format-Table name, @{label = "Size in MB"; Expression = {$_.disksizerequired/1024/1024}}
