General PowerShellTips and Tricks


• Create Functions with Parameters!

function My-FunctionName {

param (

[Parameter(ValueFromPipeline)][string]$parameter1,

[Parameter(ValueFromPipeline)][string]$parameter2

)

process {

Write-Host($parameter1)

Write-Host($parameter2)

}

}

My-FunctionName “Ken” “Maglio”

General PowerShell Tips and Tricks


• Get-Member• This will show all of the Functions (methods) and Properties

of an object or variable.

$myWeb = Get-SPWeb https://sharepoint.company.com

$myWeb | get-member



• Write-Host • If you’re trying to get exact spacing use:

• e.g. “Some Text: literally goes here.”

$v = “literally”

Write-Host(“Some Text: “ + $v + “ goes here.”)

• You can attempt to utilize:$v = “literally”

Write-Host “this is $v a test”

• This usually works, however inside of commands sometimes it will not to variable replaces.

• However doing something like this does not work:write-host "this is " + $v + " a test"

write-host "this is " $v " a test"

write-host "this is "$v" a test"

• Does work:write-host "this is"$v" a test"



• Generate your own CSVs$header = “title,url”

$filePath = “C:\file.csv”

$header | Out-File –FilePath $filePath –Force

# get all site collections – excluding mysites

$sc = Get-SPSite –Limit ALL | where {$_.url –notlike “*mysites*”}

$sc | ForEach-Object {

$row = $_.RootWeb.Title

$row += “,”

$row += $_.Url

$row | Out-File –FilePath $filePath -Append

}

PowerShell Tips and Tricks


• Storing Credentials “better”• Get-Credentials stored with random encryption key

• Able to store credentials “better” then plain text

• Secured password stored as variable

• Key to decrypt also stored as variable

• SecureString can still be broken down to plain-text.

• Example Script



• Get Current Directory

$app = $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition

$dir = [System.IO.Path]::GetDirectoryName($app)



PowerShellRemoting(CredSSP)


• Run winrm quickconfig• If we get an error (unknowing security error) it's probably because there is

an SPN on an account or on the machine name - which is using HTTP -they have to be removed, then winrm quickconfig, and re-added if they are needed.

• You will need to run these potentially to ensure roles are enabled correctly:• enable-wsmancredssp -role server

• enable-wsmancredssp -role client -delegatecomputer *.domain.local

• Add trusted hosts on client machines:• winrm set winrm/config/client '@{TrustedHosts="*"}'

• You may want to use something other than * here …

Remote PowerShell


SharePoint PowerShell


• Scripts we will review:• Create Site Collection and Content DB (1:1)• Get BestBets• Connecting to UPA

• Restore from SQL

• UPA Migrator• Connecting to Managed Metadata Term Store

• Get Used / UnUsed Terms

• Hosts File – cross farm – UNC paths• Modify Web.Config files the RIGHT way

• Enable Blob Cache example

• Reset Cache – cross farm (psremoting)• Farm Reset – cross farm (psremoting)

• Turn on Version for all libraries in Site Collection• Add/Remove users to SP group
