Find missing metadata in SharePoint using PowerShell

 

Did you know that fields in SharePoint Online set as “required” are not so… required anymore? It may be a pain for some, but they are now used as ‘guidance’ with a yellow background color instead and other signs like the red dot in the View. It means that users can upload documents without filling the required values and leave the site! 😕

This is not ideal if you use this metadata for your Search is it? So let’s get right into it!

Working with Views in SharePoint

 

Having different Views in your SharePoint lists & libraries can be very useful. It allows you to see information in a different way pretty quickly, and remove the noise. In this post, we’ll have a look at the available options so you can choose what’s best for you!

Change specific users OneDrive For Business quotas using PowerShell

 

It may be useful to allocate specific users with specific OneDrive for Business storage quotas. But we may be faced with some challenges trying to achieve that… In this blog post, we’ll use a .csv file containing the users we wish to change the quota for, as well as adding some error handling to our script to manage the outcomes 🧐

And to top it off, we’ll export the “users not found” so you’re not in the dark when closing your PowerShell console!
