Today, we’re going to have another quick look at the wonderful world of PowerShell and how the PnP PowerShell cmdlets make our life a lot easier when administrating SharePoint Online. I had a couple of site collections that needed to have their Site Collection Search Settings updated to use a dedicated Search Center. While it would be possible to manually go into each site collection and update the settings, this Details
Scenario A short while ago, I had to update a fairly large number of documents in multiple libraries in a SharePoint Online site. Problem was that their file extension was .html which doesn’t display in the browser if stored in SharePoint Online, but rather these files get downloaded upon opening. The workaround – rename them to .aspx. The following scripts does this for all .html files and renames them to Details
Earlier this year, Microsoft announced and rolled out the modern experience for lists. They didn’t stop at that, but also introduced modern pages and sites. But what are the differences to the ‘classic experiences’, so the type of lists, libraries, pages, and sites that we’ve been using now for many years? How can you switch between these two experiences? And how can you customise the modern experience items? Luckily, there’s some Details
If your organization provides business users with the possibility to manage sites themselves by assigning them site collection administrator rights, you may want to know if they add anyone else as site collection administrator. While you could run a script regularly to retrieve a list of all site collection administrators on all sites and then compare this data with previous information, there is also an alternative that you can use.

When it comes to sharing content with external parties in SharePoint Online, setting up sharing can be done easily. But what if you want to get some details on who shared which content with which external party, for example for compliance or audit reasons? The good news is that this kind of information can be retrieved quite easily from Office 365, and you can even set up alerts to be Details
Scenario You’ve got a Web Part which you want to add to one, but more likely multiple web part pages in a SharePoint Online Site. Or maybe even on multiple pages across multiple sites. You could do this manually, but adding the same web part with the same configuration over and over again may not be a productive use of it. Let’s make use of PowerShell to do this! Code Details
At the Microsoft Ignite conference in September, it was announced that OneDrive for Business would get its own Admin Portal in Office 365. Yesterday, Microsoft finally made it available, even though it’s in Preview at the moment. See the official announcement here, and access it at https://admin.onedrive.com. So what does it include? Some existing settings, such as configuring your sharing settings, as well as new settings like the possibility to restrict Details
Scenario Activating SharePoint’s Publishing features can easily be done on a single site collection or site. But what if you need to activate Publishing on a hierarchy of subsites, or across multiple site collections? Code Once again, we’re using the PnP PowerShell cmdlets. First some basics. The ‘main’ feature to activate is the PublishingSite feature on the Site Collection level. After you connected to a site collection (Connect-PnPOnline), you can activate it as Details
Well, this is a bit embarrassing. Yesterday, for the first time, I didn’t verify if my scheduled blog post got published properly. And yesterday, also for the first time, it didn’t get published. I made a small scheduling mistake (it’s not 2017 yet…), so the 14th December post comes a day late: Scenario From time to time you may need an overview of all lists and libraries in your site Details
End of September, the Microsoft Ignite conference took place in Atlanta with hundreds of sessions across a huge rang of Microsoft products. The great news is that these sessions are available on demand for anyone to view! If you’re interested in taking them offline, have a look at the Ignite 2016 Slidedeck and Video downloader script. Today, I’ll share with you some of my favourite sessions: Drive productivity with OneDrive and Details
