SharePoint Online PowerShell to List All Site Collections
Let’s get all site collections under a specific path:
Import-Module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.Powershell
#Config Parameters
$AdminSiteURL="https://crescent-admin.sharepoint.com"
#Get Credentials to connect to the SharePoint Admin Center
$Cred = Get-Credential
#Connect to SharePoint Online Admin Center
Connect-SPOService -Url $AdminSiteURL -Credential $Cred
#Get All site collections which has /sites in its path
Get-SPOSite -Filter { Url -like '*/sites*' } -Limit All
#Get All site collections of Group site template
#Get-SPOSite -Filter { Template -eq "GROUP#0" } -Limit All
You can filter and get all site collections based on some criteria. E.g. Let’s get all sites that are using > 1GB storage
Get-SPOSite -Limit All | where { $_.StorageUsageCurrent -gt 1024 }
To filter and get collections: E.g. Get all site collections with “Project*” in their URL.
Get-SPOSite -Filter {$_.url -like "https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/Project*"}
SharePoint Online PnP PowerShell to Get All Sites
Need to get a list of all the site collections in your SharePoint Online environment? PnP PowerShell to the rescue! This script shows you how to use PnP PowerShell cmdlet Get-PnPTenantSite to get a list of all site collections in your tenant.
#Set Parameter
$TenantSiteURL="https://crescent.sharepoint.com"
#Connect to the Tenant site
Connect-PnPOnline $TenantSiteURL -Credentials (Get-Credential)
#sharepoint online pnp powershell get all sites
Get-PnPTenantSite
We can extract all site collection details and export them to CSV using:
#Config Variables
$TenantSiteURL = "https://crescent-admin.sharepoint.com/"
$CSVFilePath = "C:\Temp\AllSitesData.csv"
#Connect to Tenant Admin Site
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $TenantSiteURL -Interactive
#Get All Site collections data and export to CSV
Get-PnPTenantSite -Detailed | Select Title, URL, Owner, LastContentModifiedDate, WebsCount, Template, StorageUsage | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation $CSVFilePath
This gets all site collections, including modern team sites and communication sites. Let’s skip search center, My site Host, App Catalog, Content Type Hub, eDiscovery and Bot, etc. and get the quota of all sites in the tenant:
#Parameter
$TenantAdminURL = "https://crescentintranet-admin.sharepoint.com"
#Connect to Admin Center
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $TenantAdminURL -Interactive
#Get All Site collections - Exclude: Seach Center, Mysite Host, App Catalog, Content Type Hub, eDiscovery and Bot Sites
$SiteCollections = Get-PnPTenantSite | Where -Property Template -NotIn ("SRCHCEN#0", "SPSMSITEHOST#0", "APPCATALOG#0", "POINTPUBLISHINGHUB#0", "EDISC#0", "STS#-1")
#Loop through each site collection
ForEach($Site in $SiteCollections)
{
#Get the storage Quota of the site
Write-host $Site.URL - $Site.StorageQuota
}
You can include OneDrive sites as:
#Get all site collections including OneDrive Sites
Get-PnPTenantSite -IncludeOneDriveSites

$ReportOutput="C:\Temp\SitesRpt.html"
#CSS Styles
$HeadTag = @"
