How to automate the SharePoint Provisioning

In this session we will look into the provisioning toolset found within Office 365 Developer Patterns and Practices (PnP) to provision columns, content types, list templates, list and library instances, branding and file assets and even metadata and more all with XML provisioning templates and PowerShell. This demo heavy session with the PowerShell scripts and sample provisioning templates will help you jumpstart your next SharePoint project using future friendly provisioning methodologies.

Benefits of this Session:

•    Learn how PnP provides provision tools
•    Get the reusable PowerShell scripts to start your next project

11. Templates Templates are XML PnP provisioning schema covers most artifacts you can deploy declaratively with WPSs Can be exported!

12. Exporting templates Use PnP PowerShell to do exports: Get- PNPProvisioningTemplate Get- PNPProvisioningTemplate -Out C:\ESPC\testprovisioning.xml Tip run the following command before an export (or import) with powershell in order to get more logging Set- PNPTraceLog –On –Level Debug

13. Importing templates Use PnP PowerShell to do imports: Apply- PNPProvisioningTemplate -Path c:\espc\testprovisioning.xml Apply to a subsite and not a root site : Apply- PNPProvisioningTemplate -Path c:\ESPC\testprovisioning.xml -Web /subsite
