SharePoint Online: Get Subsites using PowerShell
Requirement: Get a subsite using PowerShell in SharePoint Online
Get a Subsite using PowerShell in SharePoint Online
Here is how to get a subsite from PowerShell in SharePoint Online:
#Load SharePoint CSOM Assemblies
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll"
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll"
#Function to Get the Web
Function Get-SPOWeb()
{
Param
(
$WebURL = $(throw "Please Enter the Site URL:")
)
Try {
#sharepoint online powershell get web
$Ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($WebURL)
$Ctx.Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($Cred.Username, $Cred.Password)
$Web = $Ctx.Web
$Ctx.Load($web)
$Ctx.executeQuery()
Return $Web
}
Catch {
write-host -f Red "Error:" $_.Exception.Message
}
}
#Get Credentials to connect
$Cred = Get-Credential
#Get the Web
$Web = Get-SPOWeb -WebURL "https://crescent.sharepoint.com/sites/marketing"
#sharepoint online powershell get site title
Write-host $Web.Title
This is equivalent to Get-SPWeb cmdlet in SharePoint On-premises PowerShell.
SharePoint Online: PowerShell to Get Subsites of a site
Similarly, we can get subsites of a given site using PowerShell as:
#Load SharePoint CSOM Assemblies
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll"
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll"
#Function to Get Subsites of the Web
Function Get-SPOSubSites()
{
Param
(
$WebURL = $(throw "Please Enter the Site URL:")
)
Try {
#Get subsites of a site (1st Level or immediate childs)
$Ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($WebURL)
$Ctx.Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($Cred.Username, $Cred.Password)
$Web = $Ctx.Web
$Ctx.Load($web)
$Ctx.Load($web.Webs)
$Ctx.executeQuery()
Return $Web.Webs
}
Catch {
write-host -f Red "Error:" $_.Exception.Message
}
}
#Get Credentials to connect
$Cred = Get-Credential
#Get All Subsites of the Web
$SubSites = Get-SPOSubSites -WebURL "https://crescent.sharepoint.com/sites/marketing"
#Get the URL of Each subsite
ForEach($Site in $SubSites)
{
Write-host $Site.Url
}
This script returns all immediate subsites of a given site. How about getting all subsites recursively?
SharePoint Online: Get All Subsites Recursively using PowerShell
#Load SharePoint CSOM Assemblies
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll"
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll"
#Function to Get all Subsites recursively
Function Get-SPOSubSitesRecursively()
{
Param
(
$WebURL = $(throw "Please Enter the Site URL:")
)
Try {
$SubSites= @()
#Get subsites of a site
$Ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($WebURL)
$Ctx.Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($Cred.Username, $Cred.Password)
$Web = $Ctx.Web
$Ctx.Load($Web)
$Ctx.Load($Web.Webs)
$Ctx.executeQuery()
$SubSites += $Web
#Call the function recursively on each subsite
ForEach($Web in $Web.Webs)
{
$SubSites += Get-SPOSubSitesRecursively $Web.Url
}
Return $SubSites
}
Catch {
write-host -f Red "Error:" $_.Exception.Message
}
}
#Get Credentials to connect
$Cred = Get-Credential
#Get All Subsites of the Web
$SubSites = Get-SPOSubSitesRecursively -WebURL "https://crescent.sharepoint.com/sites/marketing"
#Get the URL of Each subsite
ForEach($Site in $SubSites)
{
Write-host $Site.Url
}
