Hi Niklas, I wondered if you’d ever tried to change the value of the NoCrawl property on a SP List from $true to $false using PowerShell in a MOSS 2007 Document Library? I’ve been trying it and haven’t been able to acheive it… I attach an extract of my code below

$site = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($url)
$web = $site.OpenWeb()
$doclib = $web.Lists[$list]
$doclib.NoCrawl = $false
$web.Dispose()
$site.Dispose()

This runs without error or exception, but has no effect on the value of NoCrawl. I tried adding $doclib.Update() immediately after setting the value of $doclib.NoCrawl, but that results in an exception as below…

Exception calling “Update” with “0″ argument(s): “Object reference not set to an instance of an object.”

Any suggestions?

Hi Niklas! Thanks a lot for this great work.
I have some error after executing Get-SPList function. It return the number of items in a list and bellow the number is the error. It seems it doesn’t matter on anything but just wanted to ask if it can be resolved.

PS C:\> $SPList = Get-SPList -url http://project/PWA/TestSite -List Test2; $SPList.ItemCount; $SPList.Dispose()

Do we have any built-in out-of-the-box cmdlets in powershell for MOSS 2007 like we have for SP2010?

Hello,
The function there are amazing! thx
I am working on a Powershell script to change ”Created By” and ”Created Date” from a list of type discussion board in MOSS2007.
When I use the Get-SPItem and use the -All switch it work great. When I filter by ID (taken from the previous command result) it works fine. When I search by Title and Name taken from the 1st result list it does not find it. It could be useful for me by subject/Title as I do not have the ID for my search. The second problem is having error when updating fields. thx for help

Thank you very much for these. I have learned a lot from reading your code. I am having a problem with the Add-SPListViewWebPart.ps1 that I hope you can help with. I get the following error when I run it:

Exception calling “AddWebPart” with “3″ argument(s): “This page has encountered a cri
tical error. Contact your system administrator if this problem persists.”
At line:74 char:28
+ $WebPartManager.AddWebPart <<<< ($ListViewWebPart,$Zone,$Index)

[...] If you want to see the problem in action, then try this PowerShell script. I am leveraging the Get-SPWeb cmdlet from PowerShell.nu’s MOSS 2007 Script Collection. [...]
