Introducing new SharePoint Online Cmdlets

So far Micosoft doesn’t offer the same amount of cmdlets to manage a SharePoint Online instance as they do for an on-premise installation.

As many other SharePoint administrators I can’t wait to get new cmdlets. Luckily Jeffrey Paarhuis recently published a project on Microsoft Codeplex and showed how simple it is to manage a SharePoint installation just with client-side libraries and functions.

Seconds later I’ve migrated his functions into my project: https://codeberg.org/janikvonrotz/PowerShell-PowerUp

I’ll introduce you the new:

In order to use these commands you have to install the Managed .NET Client-Side Object Model (CSOM) of SharePoint 2013. Run the command Install-PPApp "SharePoint Server 2013 Client Components SDK" to install this app.
