Total Size of Preservation Hold Libraries
Hello All, I am wondering if someone can help with a PowerShell script to retrieve the size of Preservation hold libraries in all the SharePoint Sites and OneDrive. I need to calculate the total space being used by items in Preservation Hold Libraries in our tenant. Thanks so much for the help in advance.Automating SharePoint Site Status Reporting with PowerShell
Introduction Migrating Microsoft 365 workloads is a critical step during organizational transitions such as mergers or de‑mergers. SharePoint site collections often contain business‑critical data, and ensuring visibility into their readiness is essential for a smooth migration. To address this, I developed a PowerShell script that automatically generates a SharePoint Site Status Report, categorizing sites into Active, Read‑Only, and Offline. This report provides administrators and migration engineers with actionable insights to plan and execute migrations confidently. Why This Matters Visibility: Quickly assess site readiness across all web applications. Governance: Ensure compliance and proper access controls. Efficiency: Automate reporting to reduce manual effort. Risk Mitigation: Identify offline or read‑only sites before migration. How It Works The script leverages the SharePoint Management Shell and runs under the Farm Account with elevated permissions. It performs the following steps: Loads SharePoint cmdlets. Iterates through all web applications. Categorizes sites into Active, Read‑Only, and Offline. Compiles results into a structured CSV/Excel/HTML report. Sends the report via email to stakeholders. Key PowerShell Cmdlets Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell Get-SPWebApplication Get-SPSite -WebApplication -Limit All $site.ReadOnly / $site.Status Export-Csv Send-MailMessage Parameters to Replace Before running the script, update these placeholders: SMTP Server → mail.company.com → replace with your mail server Sender Address ($from) → email address removed for privacy reasons → replace with reporting account Recipient Address ($to) → email address removed for privacy reasons → replace with stakeholder distribution list Email Subject ($subject) → "SharePoint Site Status Report" → customize for clarity Report File Path ($csvPath) → C:\Reports\SharePoint_SiteStatusReport.csv → replace with desired location Web Application URLs → ensure correct farm references Execution Context → must run under Farm Account Conclusion This automated reporting solution provides clarity, governance, and efficiency during SharePoint migrations. By categorizing sites and delivering structured reports, administrators can prioritize tasks, mitigate risks, and ensure a seamless transition to Microsoft 365.

How to hide the Modify this view and Create View as per users available in groups
Hi All, I have classic view of SharePoint in list/libraries. I have group(for Managers). I just want want to show and hide the Create View/Modify View/Modify this view depends on users available in group. If user available in group(for Managers) then they can do anything like Create View/Modify View/Modify this view but if user is not a part of the group(for Managers) then they can not modify any Public views but the can create Personal view. Is there any way how I can achieve this functionality?File Type Version Limits
Hi all, In trying to solve an old issue I stumbled across this new feature currently in preview and am wondering if the file type arrays will be editable or if new arrays could be or will be added? I have a handful of file types which do not need 100 versions, let alone a version every 2-5 minutes, requiring frequent culling...

Document libraries added programmatically as tabs to Shared Channels are not visible
With the recent Teams UX updates, any document libraries added programmatically to Shared Channels no longer appear in the Teams interface even though they do show up when queried through PowerShell. Following the guidance in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/teams-configuring-builtin-tabs%22https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/teams-configuring-builtin-tabs%22https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/teams-configuring-builtin-tabs%22https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/teams-configuring-builtin-tabs%22as well as the approaches I outlined in my blog post https://reshmeeauckloo.com/posts/powershell-teams-add-documentlibrary-as-tab/%22https://reshmeeauckloo.com/posts/powershell-teams-add-documentlibrary-as-tab/%22 using Microsoft Graph or PnP PowerShell, the tabs still fail to surface in the new Teams experience. The behaviour is inconsistent: The same tab‑creation methods work perfectly in standard channels. They also work for users who haven’t yet received the new Teams UX. And if the document libraries are added manually, they appear as expected in shared channels. At the moment, I’m trying to determine whether there is a supported way to add document library tabs to shared channels programmatically so that they remain visible in the new Teams interface. Any insights or confirmed workarounds would be appreciated.
How get a report where "everyone except external users" group is used in my site collections

Hello, I am a SharePoint Admin at my organization and I have been asked to reduce our total storage usage by reducing the number of versions and minor versions in our environment on all SharePoint sites. I have written a simple PowerShell script that loops through a csv file with site addresses, and runs this command per site -> New-SPOSiteFileVersionBatchDeleteJob -Identity $site.siteURL -MajorVersionLimit 100 -MajorWithMinorVersionsLimit 5 It was my understanding that for all sites in the csv file, for all document libraries on the site, and for all files in the libraries this command will reduce the file to the last 100 Major versions, and the last 5 minor versions of each major version. Unfortunately, this command is not actually reducing the minor versions. It is working with the Major versions just fine, but all minor versions are being retained for each major version retained. Is my understanding of this command wrong, or is it not working? Are there other factors to consider? Does anyone know of an alternative that can fit my needs? The overall plan is to trim the current version history, then apply the automatic version setting to each library in our tenant. Here is the MS guide I referenced, maybe I missed something -> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/tutorial-queue-a-trim-job Any help is greatly appreciated, Cam
Automated upload competing with users who have a file open in Co-authoring mode
This behavior began approximately mid-December. An automated process uploading/overwriting a file located in SharePoint online was constantly receiving errors when executing. We ran through several scenarios for troubleshooting but in the end, we had found that a user would open the file and leave it open in the background through the working day. This behavior produced some co-authoring lock on the file where people could get in and work on the file at the same time but locked out the automated process that would upload a new version of the file regularly. We fixed the behavior after consulting with the people who were referencing the file, they were gathering data from it and were not updating it in any way. So, we broke the permission inheritance for this file and set it up to be read-only for all users but the process that was uploading the file. This allowed the people to reference the file and undid the locking behavior that we had observed. Now, before the middle of December, this locking mechanism didn't exist. Users could have the file open in edit mode and our automated process to update the file was able to upload and overwrite at the same time without issues. Has anyone else observed this behavior within the last few months? We didn't open up a ticket with Microsoft to get an official answer if something new was perhaps implemented and we're curious if anyone has opened a ticket regarding this behavior. Also, I briefly look through the message center and couldn't find any changes in there that seemed to be related to this change by their titles. The error that was seen from the automated process was: The remote server returned an error: (423) Locked. Any input appreciated - I am definitely curious to hear if others are observing this as well.add user to SharePoint group via PowerShell error
Hi, I'm trying to use PowerShell to add a user to an existing SharePoint group. I ran the following to connect to the SharePoint site: Connect-SPOService -Url https://site1-admin.sharepoint.com This prompts me to login, password and MFA code. Afterwards I type in the following to add a user: Add-SPOUser -Site https://site1-admin.sharepoint.com/sites/company -Group "Company Info Members" -LoginName mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons There is a SharePoint group with the name "Company Info Members", which I want to add mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons to. But I get the following error: Add-SPOUser : Unknown Error At line:1 char:1 + Add-SPOUser -Site https://site1-admin.sharepoint.com/s ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Add-SPOUser], ServerException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerException,Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell.AddSP OUser I was wondering what could be causing this error. I searched for the error on Copilot and it suggested I use "PnP.PowerShell". But I'm having some issues installing this app. I was wondering if there are any suggestions I could do? Thanks! Jason
