Script Creating SharePoint User MySites using PowerShell

While working on a large migration project (SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013), I had a requirement to script the creation of user MySites for hundreds of users. I knocked this little PowerShell function together to do just that!

Function Create-MySite            
{            
 [CmdletBinding()]            
 Param            
 (            
  [Parameter(Mandatory = $True,Position=2,valueFromPipeline=$true)][String]$Username,            
     [Parameter(Mandatory = $True,Position=1)][String]$MySiteRootURL              
 )            
 [void][reflection.assembly]::Loadwithpartialname("Microsoft.Office.Server");               
 $site=new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($MySiteRootURL);            
 try            
 {            
  $serviceContext = Get-SPServiceContext $site;            
  $upm = new-object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileManager($serviceContext);             
  if($upm.UserExists($Username) -eq $false)            
  {            
   Write-Host "User $Username was not found in the profile store." -f yellow;            
   return;            
  }            
  $userProfile = $upm.GetUserProfile($Username);            
  if($userProfile.PersonalSite -eq $Null)            
  {            
   Write-Host "Creating MySite for user $Username" -f darkyellow;            
   $userProfile.CreatePersonalSite();                  
   Write-host "Successfully created MySite for user $Username" -f green;            
  }            
  else            
  {            
   Write-Host "User $Username already has a MySite." -f darkgreen;            
  }            
 }            
 catch            
 {            
  Write-Host "Encountered an error creating a MySite for user $Username. Error:"$_.Exception -f Red;            
 }            
 finally            
 {            
  $site.Dispose();            
 }            
}

You can call the function like this (for a single user):

#Example - Create a MySite for user  "tonyj"            
Create-MySite -MySiteRootURL "http://mysite.bigintranet.com.au" -Username "tonyj"

Or call it like this, for a batch of users:

#To Create for an array of users            
$users = @('tonyj','bobh','markf','billd')            
$users | Foreach {Create-MySite -MySiteRootURL "http://mysite.bigintranet.com.au" -username $_}

4.         Open new.aspx(Original). And add “disabled="disabled"” in the following code.

Around line 412…

disabled="disabled"

>
disabled="disabled">


Around line 504….

disabled="disabled">
disabled="disabled">

5.         Save and close.

6.         Open EmailSettings.aspx(Original). And change code as following.

Around line 97…
Original
function _spBodyOnLoad()
{
SetControlsDisabled(document.getElementById("<%= EnabledFalse.ClientID %>").checked);
}

New
function _spBodyOnLoad()
{
//SetControlsDisabled(document.getElementById("<%= EnabledFalse.ClientID %>").checked);
SetControlsDisabled(document.getElementById("<%= EnabledFalse.ClientID %>").disabled = true);
SetControlsDisabled(document.getElementById("<%= EnabledTrue.ClientID %>").disabled = true);
}

7.         Save and close.

Power Shell Script to get all the Drive space from remote server

copy the script from internet and edit accordingly to my own use , so like to share with other Server Admin for this .

• List down all your target server name at the text file at Computers.txt 
• Save below script as checkDisk.ps1 format.

========================================================================

$ServerName = Get-Content "C:\Users\Desktop\Computers.txt"


foreach ($Server in $ServerName) {

Copy-Item -Path D:\software\ROIScan.vbs         -Destination \\$Server\d$\software\
Copy-Item -Path D:\software\MspFixUp.vbs         -Destination \\$Server\d$\software\
Copy-Item -Path D:\software\wiCollectFiles.vbs    -Destination \\$Server\d$\software\
Copy-Item -Path "D:\software\run fixup.txt"    -Destination \\$Server\d$\software\


}
========================================================================


This version is customize by my own use with header:
========================================================================
$ServerName = Get-Content "C:\Users\admSin_Peow_Ng\Desktop\Computers.txt"
$ConvertToGB = (1024 * 1024 * 1024)

"Server Name "+ " C drive Space" + " C drive Free Space"+ " D drive Space" + " D drive Free Space"
"===============" + " ==============" + " ==================" + " =============" + " =================="


$report = foreach ($Server in $ServerName) {

    $diskC = Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk -ComputerName $Server -Filter "DeviceID='C:'" | Select-Object Size,FreeSpace
    $diskD = Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk -ComputerName $Server -Filter "DeviceID='D:'" | Select-Object Size,FreeSpace



    $Server +" " + (($diskC.Size/ $ConvertToGB)).tostring("###.###") + " GB " + (($diskC.FreeSpace / $ConvertToGB)).tostring("###.###")+ " GB         " + (($diskD.Size / $ConvertToGB)).tostring("###.###") + " GB " + (($diskD.FreeSpace / $ConvertToGB)).tostring("###.###")+ " GB "

}

$report
========================================================================


Lastly open you Windows PowerShell and run the checkDisk.ps1 .
*if have server connection problem ,you will see the error message

if you want write the output to text file , just run the below command:
*if you write to text file then will skip the error but the output will remain no data for the server have connection problem

PS : checkDisk.ps1 > report.txt

you can just copy and paste to excel to manipulate the data.

Can't activate feature because of an existing column in a child site

Problem :

• Manage Content and Structure shortcut not show at Site Actions
• Need activate feature 
• SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure
• SharePoint Server Publishing
• Activate publishing feature but fail

Error message :

When activating the publishing feature :

Enable-SPFeature : The field with Id {51d39414-03dc-4bd0-b777-d3e20cb350f7} defined in feature {aebc918d-b20f-4a11-a1db-9ed84d79c87e} was found in the current site collection or in a subsite.

Resolution : From different source 
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/31597/cant-activate-feature-because-of-an-existing-column-in-a-child-site
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/27196/activating-ootb-features-fails

Summary of resolution :
Run the script to found out which sub site to delete :

It seems like your problem is that a site column with ID is already exist at root or sub sites. This site is created typically by SharePoint publishing infrastructure and it corresponds to PublishingStartDate site column. This is (typically) installed by a hidden FEATURE when publishing feature is activated.

Use following script to find the webs in which it exists:

 $url = Read-Host -Prompt "Provide Url for the web";
$fieldID = "51d39414-03dc-4bd0-b777-d3e20cb350f7"
$site = Get-SPSite $url
foreach ($web in $site.AllWebs)
{   
    foreach ($field in $web.Fields)
    {
        if ($field.Id -eq $fieldID)
        {
            $msg = [String]::Format("{0} contains the field.", $web.Url);
            Write-Host $msg
        }
    }
}
 2. Run the Poweshell script :


 $urlSite = "http://server/sitecollection"
$urlSubWeb = "http://server/sitecollection/subweb" #sub web identify by above step
$tempPath = "d:\temp"
$featId = "f6924d36-2fa8-4f0b-b16d-06b7250180fa" # Publishing feature
# Backup the site collection in case something goes wrong


Backup-SPSite -Identity $urlSite -Path "$tempPath\sitecoll.bak"

Export-SPWeb -Identity $urlSubWeb -Path "$tempPath\subweb.cmp" -IncludeUserSecurity -IncludeVersions All

Remove-SPWeb  -$url SubWeb

Enable-SPFeature -Identity $featId -Url $urlSite 
after enable the Feature still unable to resolve the issues: Run below command

Manually deactivate the both feature 

Run Below command :

stsadm -o activatefeature -name PublishingSite -url $url -force 

stsadm -o activatefeature -name PublishingWeb -url $url -force 

stsadm -o activatefeature -name PublishingResources -url $url -force

Lastly manually activate the feature  and test on it.

#final step restore the sub site
New-SPWeb -Url $urlSubWeb -Language 1033

Import-SPWeb -Identity $urlSubWeb -Path "$tempPath\subweb.cmp"  -IncludeUserSecurity
