Get All Site Collections Size (Storage Used, Allocated), Owners, Database Details with STSADM
Do you know the STSADM command-line tool can do this, still in SharePoint 2013? Yes! It can get you a quick peek view of all site collections in the given web application. It gets you details such as:
- Storage space allocated – Storage used, warning and maximum levels
- Site collection GUIDs
- Site collection database names
- Primary and Secondary Owners
Simply trigger the command line and run:
Stsadm -o EnumSites -url https://Sharepoint-web-app-URL
This command-line retrieves all details as listed above in XML format. Let’s export that XML to a file and get it in Excel for better analysis. Run:
Stsadm -o EnumSites -url https://Sharepoint-web-app-URL > SitesInfo.xml
Once completed, Open the XML file in Microsoft Excel, choose “As an XML table.”
and you should get the table as below:
