42. 42 Bulk Site Creation Site Definitions in V. Studio Not an answer by themselves Define site content Intended for reuse Mismatch to one time need CAML and PITA Harder: Making it data driven Change Site Def -> Recreate Site PowerShell & Excel & UI Well suited for one time “blow in’s” Define the site template in the UI or use standard Save as a template Even pub sites PowerShell has easy loops Data driven from a CSV Changes -> Mod Scripts

43. 43 The PowerShell Solution Read the list of sites from CSV Loop: Create Site Configure Site Turn on Features Set Master Pages, Welcome Page Hide Libraries, set versioning Adjust Navigation Add Lists, Libraries, Pages, Web parts, etc Loop again & again if needed – iterative!

44. 44 Audio Alerts Stick this at the end of your long running script: $Voice = new-object -com SAPI.SpVoice $Voice.Speak(“Deployment is done!")
