Script TipsUse and save scripts – they can be reused, maintained, reused, reused…PS C:\TENZ11\PS> .\myscript.ps1Use variables – they make scripts easier to read and maintain$siteUrl = "http://intranet"Use functions – pieces of logic in the scriptfunction Update-SiteTitle($site, $title) { $site.Title = $title$site.Update()}Use comments# This explains what the script is doing which is helpful in the futureTab Ahead - PowerShell lets you tab to complete pathname and input Providing some output is helpfulWrite-Host “About to do stuff" vs. “About to do stuff"Build and test your scripts incrementally. Not directly in production!

Disposal TipsObject disposal is important to release memoryEasiest method is to useSPAssignmentStart-SPAssignment -Global# Do stuff ...Stop-SPAssignment –GlobalYou can use.Dispose()to clean up after yourself$site = Get-SPSite http://intranet; $site.Usage; $site.Dispose()Closing the PowerShell Console cleans up the session but it’s the lazy option

Scripts Won’t Run?Usually it will be permissionsWhat’s your Execution Policy?Set-ExecutionPolicyRestricted | AllSigned | RemoteSigned| UnrestrictedIs UAC on? You may have to “Run as Administrator”Does the account have rights on databases? Add-SPShellAdmin-UserNamedemo\SPUser-database SP2010_Content_TENZ
