Selectively Displaying SharePoint Properties

To selectively display the properties that the Get-Member cmdlet returns, pipe the output of Get-SPSite to Select:

Get-SPSite http://yourserver/sites/yoursite | Select Url, Owner


Some properties are actually objects themselves (rather than a simple property) and have their own properties. For example, you might try using this cmdlet to get the quota size:

 

Get-SPSite http://yourserver/sites/yoursite |  Select Url, Owner, Quota.StorageMaximumLevel 


This cmdlet will display an error message. To get the quota, you will need to enter the following:

 

Get-SPSite http://yourserver/sites/yoursite | Select Url, Owner,  {$_.Quota.StorageMaximumLevel}
