Intro to PowerShell for SharePoint

Get a step-by-step introduction to using PowerShell with SharePoint. Doesn't matter if you are using SharePoint Foundation or Server or if you are using 2010, 2013, or 2016 it is all applicable.
This video focuses on teaching you to fish. So not a bunch of scripts for you to run but instead cmdlets for you to know so you can learn to write your own scripts.

I absolutely love your tutorials. They are not blotted with unnecessary stuff, but still packed with the right stuff. Great job

[@Gluttonyed]

Thank you for breaking it down. For taking out the alias and for still using write-host. A newbie like me really appreciates this. Keep up the good work.

[@ShanesCows]

You are welcome. Glad it helped.

[@msftsharepoint1]

Good job Shane. Well done!

[@ShanesCows]

Thanks Jim. I am working on the next one. :) Show you some of the fun you can have by diving in deeper.

[@chrisbaffour1341]

Shane that is a great video....

[@allanrabindran5695]

Awesome! Thank you Shane You are a life saver

[@ShanesCows]

Glad to help. 😀

[@leemurray9091]

basic question: get-spsite is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function...etc. How do I install this (is the solution get-module something?) and in general, could you show me the syntax for adding missing commands because in one of your previous videos I had the same problem?

[@MultiRams123]

You are a great teacher.

[@ShanesCows]

Thank you! 😃

[@AlBergstein]

Nice work. Since I don't use onsite SharePoint it seems that get-SPSite seems to no longer work, looks like it's now Get-SPOSite, and MFA credentials are a new twist. Also seems that get-help command no longer works, even if I add SPO instead of SPsite.

[@ShanesCows]

When using PNP PowerShell it is a bit different. Check this out for some more info. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZrFoH2OdryNo5o

[@BikashBiswalCHHUAPUA]

Good video👍. I am looking for an option to connect to SharePoint from Workstation machines. Do you have any tutorial on the same?

[@ShanesCows]

I don’t. Sorry

[@arjunpawar1426]

Hey Shane, it's an excellent!!! Need ur help to get specific user report that what he/she has an all details access on sharepoint O'365 sites/files/folder etc Please?

[@ShanesCows]

Sorry I don’t have one for that.

[@ulfgj]

shane's da best!

[@ShanesCows]

Glad it helped.

[@AlexSanDiNero]

How do I use this to Add-SPOUser to multiple Site Collections using ForEach-Object? Or even by using the foreach loop? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you, Shane! You da man!

[@ShanesCows]

I haven’t done that one. I am sure it is possible. Start by getting the list of collections in an array.

[@csathys2]

Hello Shane, Is this video number 3 for beginners? Is there a play list that I can follow?

[@ShanesCows]

There is a playlist for all the PowerShell stuff

Thanks great job

[@ShanesCows]

Thanks 😍

[@trevoryahnian8797]

When I did a .count I only had 219 commands. Did I possibly download the wrong thing? This wasn't already installed for me. What I downloaded is called Sharepoint Online Management Shell.

[@ShanesCows]

So much has changed. Ideally I think you want this docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/sharepoint/sharepoint-pnp/sharepoint-pnp-cmdlets?view=sharepoint-ps

[@trevoryahnian8797]

@@ShanesCows Thank you so much for the fast reply. Just wondering, do you have any videos that you think would be especially valuable to one who is trying to become a cyber security analyst?

[@PabloMoricz]

Hey Shane! does this video applies to sharepoint online too? Thanks!

[@ShanesCows]

No. For SharePoint online you will want to find my content on PNP PowerShell 😎 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZrFoH2OdryNo5o

hello, could you help me? how could i copy a folder from one site to another sharepoint site using powershell

Via a browser? Not sure what you mean.

Thanks!

[@ShanesCows]

Welcome 🙏

[@xDR1TeK]

i was looking online to see what is it all about. I still don't get what it is for.

[@ShanesCows]

What PowerShell is for? What SharePoint is for? What PowerShell for SharePoint is for? Happy to help. Just want to answer the right question.

[@xDR1TeK]

let's start sharepoint, the platform etc etc, How can i love it? I am one of those that want to touch it to know what it is.

[@ShanesCows]

At this point in time, I would think less about what is SharePoint and more about the all up collaboration platform for businesses that is O365. They have a free trial here. products.office.com/en-us/compare-all-microsoft-office-products?tab=2 SharePoint itself... oh gosh... describing in words that will be used against me later is tough. I think of it as a business intranet for collaboration. Need to share documents, lists, ideas with your team and your whole business through a website. SharePoint is the best platform for that. I have seen SharePoint used for a lot of other things but that is where I would start. Why do you want to learn about SharePoint? Is this for business or personal use? If Business what kind of things do you do?

[@korneliuse]

Hey! how can i download a sp 2016 vm? ty!

[@ShanesCows]

Not sure. Sorry

[@heatherfeather2621]

Why that shell and not Windows Powershell ISE?

[@ShanesCows]

ISE is great if you like it. When I made the video I was always consulting on random machines and the shell always worked so I just got used to it. 😎

[@heatherfeather2621]

@@ShanesCows just curious if there was any advantage compared to the windows 10 default. Sounds like it’s all the same. That’s good. New kids are using Visual Studio Code...not sure l will ever step in that (only hunt-n-peck/cut-n-paste in a couple languages).

[@ivanwong9559]

Will these work with SP 2019?

[@ShanesCows]

Pnp PowerShell is only for SharePoint online but 2019 does have the built in cmdlets. 😊

[@jaynj908]

I did not have sharepoint so i have to download

[@Arrato1977]

Do you provide paid help ? Urgenly needed ! Please add your email, as I need help with powershell script...

[@ShanesCows]

I don’t do SharePoint and PowerShell support anymore. I can try to connect you to some one who might be able to help. Shane at powerapps911.com

[@florianvo7616]

I think this video should be later in the course. I personally don't care about sharepoint at all and now I'm kinda forced to watch it, except if I skip the whole video. I would rather skip the 12th video than the third if that makes sense.

[@florianvo7616]

And if I was interested, I'd need background knowledge to even follow along. I'd have to follow some guide in microsoft docs to even get to your starting point of the video (set up a Sharepoint VM in HyperV). I feel like that shouldn't be the case

[@florianvo7616]

Also seems strange to me that there are two videos about Powershell in general, then one for Sharepoint, one for Azure, to then come back to general Powershell videos

[@ShanesCows]

The videos aren’t in order. First 2 are then from there I kind of jump all over 🤷‍♂️ Hope you still find what you need.

[@ulfgj]

#internsareppltoo loool

[@ShanesCows]

LOL.

[@paulomarcelo]

Thumbs down cause terrible sound transition on begining

[@ShanesCows]

Sorry you didn’t like it. My later videos I got better at audio editing and production quality overall.
