Over the weekend I spoke in front of a great crowd at the first annual SharePoint Saturday Louisville!
While I left Columbus with the intention of only doing my topic about building WCM sites using PowerShell, due to a cancellation I ended up doing two, back-to-back presentations. I’ll detail them below, and since this will be a long post, here are links to the different areas within the page:
- Build your SharePoint Internet presence with PowerShell
- Funnel your Info down a new Path
Build your SharePoint Internet presence with PowerShell
The topic: Build your SharePoint Internet presence with PowerShell
The story: Everybody knows PowerShell is powerful, it’s in the name! But did you know that PowerShell can read and understand XML? By leveraging XML among other things, complete builds can be automated – making them efficient and predictable.
In this fun, interactive and demo-filled session – I will show you how you can leverage PowerShell to help you build your branded, company website from the ground up using PowerShell and XML. I will also pass along some tips and tricks that will help you become a PowerShell Rockstar!
This was the first SharePoint Saturday in Louisville, and I was very proud to be a part of a great event.
My session went pretty flawlessly, as I lucked out and had zero issues with the presentation or the demos. For those of you who attended, thank you for being a part of it – and if you have any feedback or questions feel free to contact me either on Twitter or via e-mail (Ryan at SharePointRyan dot com).
I promised to upload my slides and demo PowerShell code, so the slides are on Slideshare (and displayed at the bottom of the post) and the XML and PowerShell code is below:

PowerShell code:
<#
.Synopsis
This PowerShell Script will create a new Web Application and root Site
Collection.
.Description
This advanced script uses New-SPWebApplication, New-SPSite and
Enable-SPFeature to configure a web application and site collection using
the Publishing Portal Site Template. Once the SPSite is created,
Standard and Enterprise Site and Web Features are activated.
.Example
C:\PS>.\Setup-SPWebAppAndSite.ps1 -XmlInput .\SiteGenerationXml.xml
This example runs with the default parameter values to configure a Web App
and Site Collection based on the contents of an XML file called
SiteGenerationXml.xml in the current file directory.
