You may have heard of PowerShell, but do you know what it’s capable of? Gone are the days of long, painful STSADM batch files – we have Windows PowerShell, and it’s here to stay.Learn how you can use Windows PowerShell both to perform simple one-off tasks as well as complex, bulk operations. Leveraging the Object Model gives Administrators and Developers the ability to do in a few lines of code what would’ve taken a lot more work (and probably a Developer or two) in the WSS platform. In this demo filled session, you’ll see how you can get started with PowerShell, and you will hopefully leave with not only a greater understanding of what PowerShell is – but what it is capable of and how you can start using it to automate tasks in your SharePoint 2010 or 2013 environment.

- 6. WINDOWS POWERSHELL …is a task-based command-line shell and scripting language designed especially for Windows system administration …has a task-based scripting language …includes powerful object manipulation capabilities …is built on the .NET Framework 6 | SharePoint Saturday Austin 2013
- 7. VERB-NOUN PowerShell uses a Verb-Noun syntax for its Cmdlets • Get-Something • Set-Something Quick Tip! • New-Something Use Get-Verb to • Remove-Something find approved verbs! 7 | SharePoint Saturday Austin 2013
- 8. GET-COMMAND & GET-HELP • While you can do a lot of the same things as the typical command prompt, use Get-Command to see available commands – Get-Command –Module Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell will show you all SharePoint Cmdlets • Use Get-Help <cmdlet> to get help information for a cmdlet – Get-Help <cmdlet> -Examples will show you examples for a cmdlet Quick Tip! Add Help to your scripts and functions! 8 | SharePoint Saturday Austin 2013
- 9. USING POWERSHELL PROFILES • PowerShell uses 2 profiles, a user specific profile and a machine-wide profile… • Use profiles to pre-load snap-ins, scripts, functions, environmental variables, shell settings, aliases, etc. Quick Tip! Use New-Item $Profile –type file –force to create a profile! 9 | SharePoint Saturday Austin 2013
- 10. SCRIPT EDITORS & TOOLS • Notepad.exe (Lame) • Notepad++ (Less Lame) • Windows PowerShell ISE (Pretty Good - includes IntelliSense, Syntax highlighting, MUCH better with PowerShell V3) • Quest PowerGUI (Awesome – Adds advanced debugging, and other cool things) • Visual Studio + PowerGUI Extensions (Probably best option, can integrate with Source Control, etc.) • Others… 10 | SharePoint Saturday Austin 2013
- 11. SHAREPOINT CMDLETS • SharePoint 2010 – 500+ Cmdlets… – MUCH better than STSADM.exe… – Can automate complete installations and configurations… • SharePoint 2013 – 700+ Cmdlets! • Still doesn’t answer every scenario, leaving gaps in functionality… – Example: Get, New and Remove SharePoint Groups – no cmdlet, easy to write a custom function though… 11 | SharePoint Saturday Austin 2013
- 12. POWERSHELL WEB ACCESS & SHAREPOINT 2013 • Pros: – Allows administrators to work with SP2013 without server access via a web browser – The default security is restrictive rather than permissive; zero authentication rules means no users have access to anything – All that is required to run PSWA is a properly-configured PowerShell Web Access gateway, and a client device browser that supports JavaScript and accepts cookies • Cons: – No profile means there is no good way to auto-load SharePoint Snap in or other scripts, functions or variables – Requires Windows Server 2012 For more on PSWA, go here!

- 19. EXTENDING POWERSHELL WITH SCRIPTS AND FUNCTIONS • PowerShell Scripts have .ps1 file extension… • Scripts and functions behave similarly if not identically, but functions are more reusable… • Scripts can reference functions and cmdlets… • Functions can include other functions within them and can also reference cmdlets… 19 | SharePoint Saturday Austin 2013
- 20. NOW, FOR THE GRAND FINALE… • You’ve seen some cool cmdlets, we’ve piped, we’ve used Get- History, Select-Object, etc… • There are a few cmdlets that can make bulk tasks VERY easy and fun… – Get-Content – ForEach-Object • Using these in conjunction with other SharePoint cmdlets or custom functions can make your PowerShell life much more awesome 20 | SharePoint Saturday Austin 2013
- 21. WHAT WERE THOSE AGAIN? • Get-Content – Can read the contents of a file… – Can store the contents in a variable… – Can process XML files… – Can be piped into other cmdlets… • ForEach-Object – Provides a way to loop through - and perform an action on - each item in a collection.… 21 | SharePoint Saturday Austin 2013
