With the growing adoption of Office 365 and SharePoint Online and the continued prevalence of SharePoint on-premises, it’s becoming more difficult to manage both environments in an automated fashion. While SharePoint Online does have native support for Windows PowerShell, there are very few cmdlets to manage the sites and site contents. SharePoint on-premises gives us well over 700 cmdlets, but it still doesn’t answer every situational scenario – leaving gaps in functionality which can be filled by scripters. In this demo-heavy session, focused on both the developer AND the administrator – you’ll see how you can use one shell to manage both scenarios (on-premises and Office 365). Demonstrations will focus on building PowerShell Scripts and Advanced Functions for both target environments, and by the end of the session you’ll be ready to start Managing SharePoint Anywhere with PowerShell.

Verb-Noun
PowerShell uses a Verb-Noun syntax for its Cmdlets• Get-Something• Set-Something• New-Something• Remove-Something
Quick Tip!Use Get-Verb to find approved verbs! Use
Verb-Noun in your code!
• Use Get-Command to see available commandsGet-Command –Module Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShellGet-Command –Module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell
• Use Get-Help <CmdletName> to get help information for a cmdlet
Get-Command & Get-Help
Quick Tip!Add Help to your
scripts and functions!
• SharePoint 2010– 500+ Cmdlets…– MUCH better than STSADM.exe in prior versions…– 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…
Get-Command –Type “SharePoint”
Opportunity!Write our own
scripts and functions!
Get-Help About_Functions_Advanced
…allow you to perform operations that are similar to the operations you can perform with cmdlets…quickly write a function without having to write a compiled cmdlet using a Microsoft .NET Framework language (C#)…use the CmdletBinding() attribute to identify them as functions that act similar to cmdlets
Quick Tip!Use Get-Help
About_Functions_Advanced for more info!
New-Function –Name “Our First Function”
• Leverages all of the Write-* cmdlets in the Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility module
• Includes Switch statement, ValidateSet, Try/Catch/Finally, etc.
• Includes comment-based-help with examples
• Can be run just like a cmdletDisclaimer!
This is NOT a SharePoint demo, just a
general PowerShell demo!
D E M OWrite-Message
Get-Recap
• Reviewed Write-Message function…• Created output using all Write* types• Saw the behavior of –Verbose and –
Debug switches• Had some fun…
Get-Info “SP PowerShell On-Premises”
• Uses the Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell snap-in
• Access to hundreds* of native cmdlets
• Script using Server Side Object Model Code
• Run as default (administrative) user• Must have server access *782 cmdlets on
my SP 2013 April 2014 CU farm.
Get-Info “SP PowerShell O365”
• Uses the Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell module
• Access to thirty* (30) native cmdlets• Script using Client Side Object Model
Code• Provide user credentials for
ClientContext• No need for server access*30 cmdlets as of
9/19/2014.
Get-Started -with “SP Online Scripting”
• Download the SharePoint Online Management Shell
• Use Connect-SPOService to connect to your Tenant SharePoint Administration Site
• Use Get-Command –Module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell to see the available cmdlets
Get-Intro –Topic “SharePoint CSOM”
• Add the following Assemblies–Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll–Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll
• Create a ClientContext variable• Call the Load() and ExecuteQuery()
methods• Once context is created, get and set
properties… For help on writing CSOM, see
http://bit.ly/MsdnCsom
D E M OSharePoint Online
Get-Recap
• Loaded assemblies using: Import-SPOAssemblies
• Created context using New-SPOServiceContext
• Created a new Site usingNew-SPOWeb
• Retrieved Web usingGet-SPOWeb
• Set Properties withSet-SPOWebProperties
Important!All of these
functions/commands are a part of our custom PowerShell Module! Not OOTB.
Get-Info –Type “Bonus”
• All of this works on-premises as well…– Just need to create ClientContext()
differently• Use the System.Net.NetworkCredential object
instead of Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials
• It is security trimmed, if you don’t have SP permissions to do this – you can’t…
• CSOM != SSOM– You do not have access to all of the same
methods and properties…
