This document discusses automating SharePoint 2010 administration tasks using PowerShell. It describes how PowerShell provides over 600 cmdlets for administering SharePoint, which allows administrators to automate repetitive tasks, deploy SharePoint farms in a controlled manner, and extend functionality beyond the original capabilities. Examples demonstrated include automating a SharePoint installation, configuring multilingual sites, managing user profiles, provisioning sites, and extending capabilities like configuring list versioning settings across all lists.

This document provides 10 steps for a successful SharePoint deployment and highlights common mistakes to avoid. It emphasizes keeping solutions simple, separating development/test/production environments, avoiding custom site definitions when possible, not modifying databases, having dedicated test environments, separating different types of data into different site collections, and not relying on inplace upgrades. It also promotes the benefits of social computing and client-side solutions over server-side code.

Automating Your Enterprise Application Deployments with PowerShell

Geoff Varosky

Presented on 2/21/13 at the Granite State SharePoint Users Group In enterprise application deployments to SharePoint, there are generally farms, or web applications that host specific applications for specific groups, rather than having just an all-in-one deployment. Often times, you do not have access to these other environments, and will need to pass the deployment baton off to the system administrators of those farms. This session will walk you through how you can deploy your applications, without needing to have the administrator who will be deploying the application, have to do much more than type a few keys into the SharePoint Administration Console and press enter – and having full configuration and deployment of your custom SharePoint applications to other environments.

SPS Toronto - Troubleshooting On-Premises SharePoint

Jason Warren

Trying to figure out why SharePoint isn't working as expected isn't as overwhelming as it looks on the surface. SharePoint is built on top of familiar Microsoft products and technologies and comes with a lot of out of the box tools to help troubleshoot even the most difficult of issues. And when that doesn't work there are some great (free!) third party tools to aid you in your quest to fixing a farm. In this session we'll look at how IT pros and developers can troubleshoot any SharePoint farm without having to resort to exorcisms or Microsoft Support.

Intro to SharePoint + PowerShell

Ryan Dennis

You may have heard of PowerShell, but do you know what it’s capable of? Gone are the days of long, painful STSADM batch files – we have Windows PowerShell, and it’s here to stay.Learn how you can use Windows PowerShell both to perform simple one-off tasks as well as complex, bulk operations. Leveraging the Object Model gives Administrators and Developers the ability to do in a few lines of code what would’ve taken a lot more work (and probably a Developer or two) in the WSS platform.You’ll see how you can get started with PowerShell, and you will hopefully leave with not only a greater understanding of what PowerShell is – but what it is capable of and how you can start using it to automate tasks in your SharePoint 2010 environment.
