SharePoint Cmdlets

One of the first PowerShell cmdlets I built, Get-SPSite, addresses some common issues found with working with SPSite objects. I struggled with how I could provide a means to quickly and easily get SPSite objects while at the same time helping administrators so they don’t have to worry (as much) about object disposal.

I was perusing through the SharePoint forums the other day and I came across an issue that someone was having with the usage statistics information for their My Sites site collections.

Update 4/25/2009: I’ve removed the -gl suffix from all my cmdlets – any examples using the -gl in the cmdlet name should be updated. If you’ve been following my blog you’ll remember that I recently pushed out a “beta” build of some SharePoint PowerShell Cmdlets for some initial feedback and reviews.

Okay all you PowerShell superstars out there that have been using my STSADM commands – I need your help! I’ve decided to teach myself PowerShell and see if I can’t leverage some of my STSADM experiences/code to expose some SharePoint functionality and I need some people who really know this PowerShell stuff to please take a look at what I’ve got so far and let me know if I’m way off base or not.
