Recently I was working for a company with a lot of site collections and they wanted to look at some of the usage stats and other relevant information about how the site collections are being utilized on the farm.  This is actually very easy to do utilizing PowerShell because we can “Get-SPSiteAdministration” and then write out the information in a nice table format. First step is to get the SPSiteAdministration into an object variable that we can run get-members on so we know what is exposed to us for reporting purposes (Note: Use Get-SPSiteAdministration instead of Get-SPSite because we want to report on stuff in the farm that we may not be site collection admins of like mySites) $sc = Get-SPSiteAdministration –Identity http://SiteCollection $sc | Get-Member You’ll get a nice output like the following, I’ve highlighted what we are interested in: TypeName: Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPSiteAdministration Name                      MemberType Definition —-                      ———- ———- AddWeb                    Method     System.Void AddWeb(string strWebUrl, string strTitle, string strDescription, Sy… ApplyWebTemplate          Method     System.Void ApplyWebTemplate(string strWebTemplate) Delete                    Method     System.Void Delete(), System.Void Delete(bool bDeleteADAccounts), System.Void D… Dispose                   Method     System.Void Dispose() Equals                    Method     bool Equals(System.Object obj) GetHashCode               Method     int GetHashCode() GetType                   Method     type GetType() ToString                  Method     string ToString() AdministrationSiteType    Property   Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAdministrationSiteType AdministrationSiteType {get;set;} AverageResourceUsage      Property   System.Double AverageResourceUsage {get;} CurrentResourceUsage      Property   System.Double CurrentResourceUsage {get;} Description               Property   System.String Description {get;} DiskUsed                  Property   System.Int64 DiskUsed {get;} LockIssue                 Property   System.String LockIssue {get;set;} OwnerEmail                Property   System.String OwnerEmail {get;}...
