4. Agenda Remoting General PowerShell tricks for the SharePoint admin Avoiding the Farm Configuration Wizard PowerShell techniques for everyday SharePoint admins

5. General PowerShell tips It’s just a shell, spruce it up some Color Size Run as Admin Enable quick edit Use the included ISE Use a third party solution

6. Remoting Must be enabled on each server Nothing much to do on the client Two ways in Enter-PSSession Invoke-Command Use Enable-PSRemoting to enable Get-Help about_remoting Watch out for security settings Increase MaxMemoryPerShellMB

7. Avoiding the Farm Config Wizard The Farm Config Wizard does some very bad things Wise SharePoint admins avoid it Use PowerShell to replicate its functionality Steps Managed accounts Web applications MySite host Service application pool (and an IISRESET) State Service Usage Service Search User Profile Service The rest

8. Everyday tasks - Overview Add-SPShellAdmin Move-SPSite Enable Developer Dashboard Visual Upgrade Troubleshooting Master pages Get database sizes

9. Add-SPShellAdmin Necessary for unprivileged accounts, since you’re not logging in as the Farm account, right? RIGHT?? Must specify databases to give access to Gives permissions to an account WSS_Admin_WPG on SharePoint servers SharePoint_Shell_Access role on database To run it account must have: Security_Admin role SQL instance db_owner role on database Local admin on SharePoint server

10. Move-SPSite Used to move Site Collections between content databases Everything ‘mergecontentdbs’ can do, this can do better Mostly done on the SQL side Databases must be attached to the same web application, be on the same SQL instance, and have the same favorite color Works great to get rid of Content databases with GUIDs

11. Developer Dashboard Can be enabled with STSADM, but that’s just embarrassing More flexibility with PowerShell $dash = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::Conte ntService.DeveloperDashboardSettings; $dash.DisplayLevel = 'OnDemand'; $dash.TraceEnabled = $true; $dash.Update()

12. Visual Upgrade Can be used to rapidly check or change status $db = Get-SPContentDatabase WSS_Content_SharePoint_2007 $db.Sites | Get-SPWeb -limit all | ForEach-Object {$_.UIversion = 4; $_.UIVersionConfigurationEnabled = $false; $_.update()} Or $db = Get-SPContentDatabase WSS_Content_SharePoint_2007 $db.Sites | foreach-object {$_.VisualUpgradeWebs}

13. Troubleshooting Use New-SPLogFile immediately before and right after recreating a problem Use Merge-SPLogFiles to collect trace logs from all servers in your farm Use Get-SPLogEvent to get events Can filter by a number of properties, like Correlation ID Can point at alternate directory Get-SPLogEvent -StartTime (Get-Date).addminutes(-10) –Directory e:\logs | Where-Object {$_.correlation -eq "dc07834b-9982-4eaf- aacf-d62a6b398f87"}

14. Master Pages Can be used to set the master page $web = Get-SPWeb http://sharepoint $web.CustomMasterUrl = "/_catalogs/masterpage/nightandday.master" $web.MasterUrl = "/_catalogs/masterpage/nightandday.master" $web.Update()

15. Database Information Use Get-SPDatabase to get list of databases and their properties Get-SPDatabase | Sort-Object disksizerequired -desc | Format- Table Name, @{Label ="Size in MB"; Expression = {$_.disksizerequired/1024/1024}} Get-SPDatabase | ForEach-Object {$db=0} {$db +=$_.disksizerequired; $_.name + " - " + $_.disksizerequired/1024/1024} {Write-Host "`nTotal Storage (in MB) =" ("{0:n0}" -f ($db/1024/1024))}
