A week or two ago I posted a function that allows you to create new SharePoint Site Collection Quota Templates using PowerShell. In that post I mentioned that two more functions (Get, Remove) would be coming soon.

Today I am sharing the function which allows you to get SharePoint Quota Templates. Again, this code is almost verbatim taken from the book by Gary and Shannon, but I have added comment-based-help and put it into an advanced function with CmdletBinding attributes.

The code is pretty simple, and again if you want a detailed walk through – I strongly encourage you to check out Gary and Shannon’s book!

Without further ado, here is the function which I have called Get-SPQuotaTemplate. I’m also finishing up the third function, Remove-SPQuotaTemplate – look for that post very soon!

Simply dot-source the function and then run it like a standard Windows PowerShell Cmdlet.

function Get-SPQuotaTemplate {
<#
.Synopsis
 This advanced function retrieves a SharePoint Site Quota Template.

 This example retrieves a SharePoint Quota Template called Custom in the
 current farm.
