Description

This cmdlet contains more than one parameter set. You may only use parameters from one parameter set, and you may not combine parameters from different parameter sets. For more information about how to use parameter sets, see Cmdlet parameter sets.

The Get-SPSiteAdminitration cmdlet returns a site administration object that allows farm administrators to view certain information about site collections to which they might not have access.

For permissions and the most current information about Windows PowerShell for SharePoint Products, see the online documentation at SharePoint Server Cmdlets.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Get-SPSiteAdministration | Select -Property Url, OwnerLoginName, @{Name="Storage";Expression={$_.Quota.StorageMaximumLevel}}

This example gets a subset of data from all of the sites in the content database with the URL b399a366-d899-4cff-8a9b-8c0594ee755f (farm administrator does not require access). This command uses the calculated property Storage to display the maximum storage value for the content database.

EXAMPLE 2

Start-SPAssignment -Global
$s = Get-SPSiteAdministration -Identity https://MyApp/Sites/Site1
$s.Url
Stop-SPAssignment -Global

This example gets the site collections specified by the Identity parameter and inserts the results into the variable s. This example uses the Global method of garbage collection. This method is easier to use but grows quickly. Do not run a Get-SPSite command that returns many results while global assignment is on.

EXAMPLE 3

C:\PS>$GC = Start-SPAssignment
$Sites = $GC | Get-SPSiteAdministration -Filter {$_.Owner -eq "DOMAIN\JDoe"} -Limit 50
Stop-SPAssignment $GC

This example gets the first 50 sites owned by user DOMAIN\JDoe by using a server-side query, and assigns the returned sites to a local variable. This command uses advanced assignment collection methods.

EXAMPLE 4

Get-SPWebApplication https://sitename | Get-SPSiteAdministration -Limit All |ForEach-Object {$sum=0}{ $sum+=$_.DiskUsed }{$sum}

This command returns the sum of the disk space usage for all sites in the specified Web application.

EXAMPLE 5

Get-SPWebApplication https://sitename | Get-SPSiteAdministration -Limit ALL | Select URL

This example gets the URLs for all site collections in a Web application.

EXAMPLE 6

Get-SPSiteAdministration -identity "https://localserver/(my|personal)/sites" -Regex

This example returns all sites that match the given regular expression. The quotation marks around the value specified for the Identity parameter are required when using the Regex flag.

EXAMPLE 7

Get-SPSite "https://sitename/sites/teams/*" -Limit 100

This example gets up to 100 of the sites under the URL https://sitename/sites/teams.

Parameters

-AssignmentCollection

Applicable: SharePoint Server 2010, SharePoint Server 2013, SharePoint Server 2016, SharePoint Server 2019

Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.

When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.
