Get SPWebTemplate from SPWeb - sharepoint

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.

How to generate reports for Azure Log Activity Data using python for any resource alongwith 'Tags'?

My colleague used the below powershell query to retrieve log data for past 4 days excluding today which matches operations of the resources and collects features such as EventTimeStamp, Caller, SubscriptionId etc.
Get-AzureRmLog -StartTime (Get-Date).AddDays(-4) -EndTime (Get-Date).AddDays(-1) | Where-Object {$_.OperationName.LocalizedValue -match "Start|Stop|Restart|Create|Update|Delete"} |
Select-Object EventTimeStamp, Caller, SubscriptionId, #{name="Operation"; Expression = {$_.operationname.LocalizedValue}},
I am a newbie to azure and want to generate a report where I can also fetch the 'Tags' name & value against a resource for past 90 days in this report. What will be the powershell query for this? Can I also use python to query this data? I tried searching the documentation and was unable to dig into it, so if anybody could redirect me to the right place it will be helpful.
First of all, you should know that not all azure resources can specify tags, so you should consider this in your code. Please refer to Tag support for Azure resources to check which azure resource supports tags.
For powershell query, I suggest using the new azure powershell az module instead of the old azureRM module.
Here is a simple powershell code with az module. And for testing purpose, I just introduce how to fetch and add tags to the output. Please feel free to change it as per your requirement.
#for testing purpose, I just get the azure activity logs from a specified resource group
$mylogs = Get-AzLog -ResourceGroupName "a resource group name"
foreach($log in $mylogs)
{
if(($log.Properties.Content.Values -ne $null))
{
#the tags is contains in the Properties of the log entry.
$s = $log.Properties.Content.Values -as [string]
if($s.startswith("{"))
{
$log | Select-Object EventTimeStamp, Caller, SubscriptionId,#{name="Operation"; Expression = {$_.operationname.LocalizedValue}}, #{name="tags"; Expression = {($s | ConvertFrom-Json).tags}}
}
#if it does not contains tags.
else
{
$log | Select-Object EventTimeStamp, Caller, SubscriptionId,#{name="Operation"; Expression = {$_.operationname.LocalizedValue}}, #{name="tags"; Expression = {""}}
}
}
#if it does not contains tags.
else
{
$log | Select-Object EventTimeStamp, Caller, SubscriptionId,#{name="Operation"; Expression = {$_.operationname.LocalizedValue}}, #{name="tags"; Expression = {""}}
}
Write-Output "************************"
}
The test result:
For python, you can take a look at this github issue which introduces how to fetch logs from azure activity logs, but you need do some research on how to add tags to the output.
Hope it helps.

Azure Powershell - across MULTIPLE subscriptions in an EA

I have "billing reader" access to several hundred subscriptions in an EA.
I'm trying to get a list of virtual machines and their sizes across all subscriptions.
So currently when I run a "Get-AzureRMSubscription" it shows me all the subscriptions (hundreds of them), but i'm not sure how to actually run a script against all the subscriptions?
Would be great to get a "Get-AzureRMVM" across them all
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
You can possibly do something like this:
$azureSubs = Get-AzureRMSubscription
$azureSubs | ForEach-Object {Select-AzureRMSubscription $_ | Out-Null; Get-AzureRMVM -WarningAction SilentlyContinue}
You are essentially setting an array variable to hold all your Azure Subscription and piping it to the ForEach-Object cmdlet to iterate all of the objects in the array. Then you pipe it to the Get-AzureRMVM cmdlet to list all VMs in each subscription.
This is definitely not optimized for performance and there might be better solutions out there, but at least you can run it and forget it.
The reason for the Out-Null and -WarningAction is to suppress the outputs you do not need.
You didn't ask but for classic resources we have the following script run on a regular basis and its output stored in a SQL Database.
$subscriptions = Get-AzureSubscription
foreach ($sub in $subscriptions)
{
$sub | Select-AzureSubscription
Get-AzureService | % {
Get-AzureDeployment -ServiceName $_.ServiceName
} | % {
New-Object -TypeName 'PSObject' -Property #{ 'ServiceName' = $_.ServiceName; 'Addresses' = $_.VirtualIPs.Address; }
} | sort Addresses | ft
}
% is ForEach-Object, ft is Format-Table although some kind souls may come along and try to edit this and make it harder to reuse. You can add/remove properties in the select statement to tailor your output as needed. Try it in one subscription to refined your needs, then create a script to make it easy to reuse.
We recently released Azure Resource Graph to support these types of searches across multiple subscriptions. See documentation here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/governance/resource-graph/overview

Sharepoint 2010 - Get All Group Names On Subsite

I'm completely new to SharePoint 2010 and I'm trying to get a report that looks like this.
Group Name | Subsite or Site Group is used | Group Creation Date | Group Owner
I tried using google for the last three days. So far, I didn't achieve anything.
Please advise.
If you have access to one of the web servers on which SharePoint is running, you can produce a report of that type through PowerShell, such as via the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell.
$web = get-spweb "http://examplesite/exampleweb"
$arr = #()
$web.SiteGroups | %{ $obj = new-object psobject -property #{Name=$_.Name; ParentWeb=$_.ParentWeb; Owner=$_.Owner }; $arr += $obj; }
$arr | Export-Csv -path "C:\Users\username\Desktop\SiteGroups.csv" -NoTypeInformation
Note that this doesn't include the group creation date.

try to modify a item filed in sharepoint using powershell

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.

Retrieve Details of Deployed Solutions in SharePoint using PowerShell

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
