SharePoint 20XX: Script PowerShell to export in CSV all the SPLists from a SPFarm

Steel Contributor

Based on a script created by Benoit Jester  To export in CSV all the Sites and Subsites from a SPFarm:

I created a new PowerShell script you have just to adapt (only 2 parameters) and execute (or schedule) to have the CSV you can open to check the content you have into your SPFarm.

    [Parameter(Mandatory=$False)] 
     [bool]$displayMessages = $true,
