PowerShell™ for SharePoint® 2013 How-To

Get a Specific Subsite (Web)

Scenario/Problem: You need to obtain a specific subsite reference.

Solution: Use the Get-SPWeb cmdlet to assign a variable the results using the -Identity parameter.

Providing the identity of the subsite with the Get-SPWeb cmdlet retrieves a specific subsite. Use this to assign the results to an object for use in other cmdlets, as shown in Listing 8.13.
