OverView:
PowerShell is a command line scripting tool which introduces the concept of a cmdlet, those commands that are derived from the System.Management.Automation .Cmdlet class and are created using the .NET Framework.
For Example,
(Get-SPWeb -Identity http://localhost).Title
or
$RootSite=Get-SPWeb -Identity http://localhost
$ RootSite.Title
Examples:
- Setting Properties on SharePoint Objects
$ RootSite =SP-GetSPWeb -Identity http://siteurl
$ RootSite.Title="My First Site"
$ RootSite.Update()
- Connecting to SharePoint Remotely
Powershell is very powerful; with the powershell we can connect with remote machine and open a PowerShell session on a client machine.
To enable remoting on the server, enter the following command:
Command: Enable-PSRemoting
To connect to any machine by entering the following command:
Command: Enter-PSSession "Server Name" -Credential (Get-Credential)
Once a remote connection has been established, the SharePoint snap-in can be added with the command:
Command: Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
- Working with Timer Jobs
Get-SPTimerJob | Select -Expand HistoryEntries | Where {$_.Status -ne "Succeeded"} |
group JobDefinitionTitle
Like these , We can do so many operations by running different commands of PowerShell like “Create/Delete Site Collections and Site”, ”Properties on Sharepoint Objects”,”Lists and Libraries” etc.
