this is some code I wrote:
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
$webURL = "http://nycs00058260/sites/usitp"
$lists = "OsEM1","OsEM2","OsEM3","OsEM4"
$web = Get-SPWeb -Identity "http://nycs00058260/sites/usitp"
foreach($list in $lists)
... ...
Write-Host $item["Title"]
#$item["Item"]=$item["Title"] +" ,"+$webURL+"\"+$filename
$item["Item"]="$tmpValue"+" ,$item[Title]"
$item.Update()
}
}
}
it said: Unable to index into an object of type MicroSoft.SharePoint.SPListItem.
something worong when I change the $item["Item"] value?
There are a few reasons that cause this behavior:
Your permissions don't match what you need to change an item. If you have PowerShell rights, this is often not the case.
Your list is somehow corrupted. This could have something to do with site columns, content types, the list itself, or views. If you created and did not update the list schema (definition), it wouldn't let you edit it.
You don't have AllowUnsafeUpdates set to on for the SPWeb (site) object.
All three of these issues generally have better (matching) error messages but sometimes SharePoint doesn't give you all the information that you need in the error messages.
If you need more details, please ask.

Trying to create a simple conditional access policy report,
$Policies = Get-AzureADMSConditionalAccessPolicy
$Policies[1].Conditions.Users.IncludeGroups
These group object ID's can be resolved using:
Get-AzureADObjectByObjectId -ObjectIds xxxx-xxxxx
But how to resolve, for example, locations?
$Policies[1].Conditions.Locations.ExcludeLocations
Could not find the location ID's using Get-AzureADObjectByObjectId.
Any ideas appreciated ...
For the location id's you need to query the namedLocations API rather than the directory itself. For this, use Get-AzureADMSNamedLocationPolicy:
$Policies[1].Conditions.Locations.ExcludeLocations |ForEach-Object {
Get-AzureADMSNamedLocationPolicy -PolicyId $_
}
I did the following:
$oldWorkflow="MyOldWorkflow";
$oldAssoc=$list.WorkflowAssociations.GetAssociationByName($oldWorkflow,"en-US");
$list.RemoveWorkflowAssociation($oldAssoc);
After that I can see that the workflow does not exist anymore. But on each Item that had the workflow before I receive an error when trying to display the workflows:
Getting Error Message for Exception System.Web.HttpUnhandledException (0x80004005): Exception of type 'System.Web.HttpUnhandledException' was thrown. ---> System.ArgumentException: Column 'Reservat' doesn't exist
I never had a column with that name. After adding that column manually to the list, the error messages changed to:
Application error when access /_layouts/15/Workflow.aspx, Error=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Any chance to solve this mess? (The old workflow does NOT exist anymore as WSP)
UPDATE:
I can still find the workflows using Powershell:
foreach ($wf in $item.Workflows)
if ($wf.ParentAssociation.Name -eq $oldWorkflow)
...
But in the same time $list.WorkflowAssociations.GetAssociationByName does NOT return the workflow
I solved this. Note for all those who came here by google: This is not a good practice for removing workflows, but only a solution if you already messed up your workflows in SharePoint. (like me)
$oldWorkflow="MyOldWorkflow";
foreach ($item in $list.Items) {
foreach ($wf in $item.Workflows) {
if ($wf.ParentAssociation.Name -eq $oldWorkflow) {
Write-Host ("[{0}] Workflow '{1}' will be removed" -f $item.Title, $wf.ParentAssociation.Name);
$itemsToAdd.Add($wf);
}
}
}
ForEach($item in $itemsToAdd) {
$man.RemoveWorkflowFromListItem($item);
}
I'm writing a script to copy items from one list to another on a sharepoint online server. I'm using the 2013 sharepoint Client Side Object Model (CSOM) to script this in powershell ISE. This should be an easy task, but it's proving just the opposite. So far I can retreive all the items using camlquery and I'm just trying to duplicate those items and their attachments to another list. The error I receive is from trying to establish an attachmentCollection to retrieve all of the attachments from any item, here is a portion of the script that represents the problem:
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll"
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll"
$siteURL = "https://mysite.sharepoint.com"
$password = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter Password" -AsSecureString
$ctx = New-Object Microsoft.Sharepoint.Client.ClientContext($siteURL)
$credentials = New-Object Microsoft.Sharepoint.Client.SharepointOnlineCredentials("admin#mysite.sharepoint.com", $password)
$ctx.Credentials = $credentials
#...Bunch of code that establishes/loads web/lists/items, all works fine
function CopyItem $itemToCopy
function CopyItem ($oldItem)
{
Write-Host "Copying item" $oldItem.ID
$newItemCI = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItemCreationInformation
$newItem = $archList.AddItem($newItemCI)
$ctx.load($newItem)
#Update fields
$ctx.load($sourceList.Fields)
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()
foreach($field in $sourceList.Fields)
{
$newItem[$field.InternalName] = $oldItem[$field.InternalName]
}
$attachments = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.AttachmentCollection #ERROR HERE
$attachments = $oldItem.AttachmentFiles
$ctx.load($attachments)
$newItem.AttachmentFiles.Add($attachments)
$newItem.Update()
$ctx.load($newItem)
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()
}
The error message says: "The List Archive Failed at: with this error message: Constructor not found. Cannot find an appropriate constructor for type Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.AttachmentCollection."
I get the same error if I try to create new-object as Attachment as well, can't find constructor. This is odd, as the constructor should be in the client.dll, but no luck. I've even tried repairing my 2013 CSOM files, no errors were found there. Any help on this is appreciated, thank you.
After a hellish amount of trial and error, I discovered that you did not need to declare a new-object when dealing with the attachmentCollection objects. You can simply set a variable up like so:
$attachments = $item.AttachmentFiles
$attachments is now an array of attachment objects.
However, there is still a huge issue of copying/adding attachments to new items, since sharepoint has a horrible system for managing these attachments and does not initially have a folder to store them, nor can you create a folder directly. I'm still having trouble copying attachments between items, if anyone has knowledge of how to accomplish this, I would love help on that as well.
The main problem in adding attachments to AttachmentFiles property is that it uses the $item.AttachmentFiles.Add() method, which requires the parameter to be a AttachmentCreationInformation Object, not an attachment Object. I have no idea how to make this function as I intend so that I can add a pre-existing attachment to a new item.
In my PowerShell script, I want to get the SPWebTemplate which has been used to create a SPWeb. In SPWeb instances, properties WebTemplate and WebTemplateId are accessible, but both of them dont identify a SPWebTemplate uniquely.
For example, if the SPWebTemplate "STS#0" has been used to create a SPWeb, WebTemplate would contain "STS" and WebTemplateId be "1".
Now
Get-SPWebTemplate | where { $_.ID -eq 1 }
would result in 3 results for each installed language (STS#0, STS#1, STS#2). How can I retrieve the correct SPWebTemplate-Name (STS#1)?
Thanks in advance,Jonas
Try SPWeb.Configuration.
This property has to be in the running for Most Poorly Named Property - SharePoint API. I remember trying to use WebTemplateId myself until I found Configuration (and I don't remember how I eventually found it).
You can try
$web = Get-SPWeb http://site/subsite
Get-SPWebTemplate | where {$_.name -like $web.WebTemplate+"*" } | where {$_.name -like "*"+$web.Configuration }
$web.Dispose()
But keep in mind that some $web.Configuration can be -1.
I need to retrieve the details of all deployed SharePoint solutions, as are displayed in the Central Administration > Operations > Solution Management (AKA the Solution Store), using a PowerShell script (v2.0). Can anyone offer any guidance on how to retrieve this information from the SharePoint solution store via the SharePoint API?
Thanks, MagicAndi.
This is actually pretty easy to do. You conect to the SP Farm and just request get_Solutions.
Here is an example:
# Connect to the Farm
$SPfarm = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPFarm]::get_Local()
# What Solution are we looking for?
$solution = "sharepointlearningkit.wsp";
# Get the solutions
$currentSolution = $SPfarm.get_Solutions() | Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -eq $solution; }
$currentSolution;
Based on Mitchell's answer, I have used:
[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint")
function Get-LocalSPFarm()
{
return [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPFarm]::Local
}
function List-Solutions()
{
$farm = Get-LocalSPFarm
foreach ($solution in $farm.Solutions)
{
Write-Host($solution.DisplayName)
# Get-Member -InputObject $solution -MemberType property
}
}
All credit to Mitchell!
You can call stsadm.exe -o enumsolutions from your powershell script. It returns XML data which you can easily convert to [xml] data type and see whatever you need from that.
(stsadm lives in c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\bin)
The output consists of statements similar to this
<Solution Name="yoursolution.wsp">
<Id>ab693dcd-6483-45ad-abba-9c996c67b6e0</Id>
<File>yoursolution.wsp</File>
<Deployed>TRUE</Deployed>
<WebApplicationSpecific>TRUE</WebApplicationSpecific>
<ContainsGlobalAssembly>TRUE</ContainsGlobalAssembly>
<ContainsCodeAccessSecurityPolicy>FALSE</ContainsCodeAccessSecurityPolicy>
<Deployment WebApplication="http://devserver/" />
<LastOperationResult>DeploymentSucceeded</LastOperationResult>
<LastOperationTime>10/26/2009 9:06 AM</LastOperationTime>
</Solution>
Here are three powershell cmdlets I use to pull back the solution information. Mine are simple compared to the ones above but I thought I would submit them anyway :)
In SP2010 Management Shell
To list all the solutions. Returns solution name, id and deployed status
Get-spsolutions
To list all the properties of a particular solution
get-spsolution -identity | select *
List all solutions, properties and output to a file to read :)
get-spsolution | select * | out-file c:\solutions.txt
