Function Connect-SPRSite { <# .SYNOPSIS Creates a reusable SharePoint Client Context object that lets you use and manage the site collection in Windows PowerShell. .DESCRIPTION Creates a reusable SharePoint Client Context object that lets you use and manage the site collection in Windows PowerShell. If you Connect-SPRSite, you no longer need to specify -Site and -Credential. .PARAMETER Site The address to the site collection. You can also pass a hostname and it'll figure it out. .PARAMETER Credential Provide alternative credentials to the site collection. Otherwise, it will use default credentials. .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .EXAMPLE Connect-SPRSite -Site intranet.ad.local Creates a web service object for intranet.ad.local. Figures out the wsdl address automatically. .EXAMPLE Connect-SPRSite -Site https://intranet.ad.local/ Creates a web service object for intranet.ad.local using the formal and complete address. .EXAMPLE Connect-SPRSite -Site intranet.ad.local -Credential (Get-Credential ad\user) Creates a web service object and logs into the webapp as ad\user. #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory, HelpMessage = "SharePoint Site Collection")] [string]$Site, [PSCredential]$Credential, [switch]$EnableException ) begin { if ($Site -notmatch 'http') { $Site = "https://$Site" } } process { Write-PSFMessage -Level Verbose -Message "Connecting to the SharePoint service at $Site" try { $global:spsite = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($Site) if ($Credential) { $global:spsite.Credentials } $global:spsite.ExecuteQuery() Add-Member -InputObject $global:spsite -MemberType ScriptMethod -Name ToString -Value { $this.Url } -Force $global:spsite | Select-DefaultView -Property Url, ServerVersion, AuthenticationMode, Credential, RequestTimeout } catch { Stop-PSFFunction -EnableException:$EnableException -Message "Failure" -ErrorRecord $_ -Continue } } } |
