SharePoint 2010: Get the Created and Modified date of an SPView using PowerShell

  • Article

Introduction

The following file information, Created, Created By, Modified,  Modify By, cannot be accessed directly via the SPView object. The SPView object doesn't provide these properties. Use the SPFile object to access these properties.

Getting the Information using PowerShell

The following PowerShell script can be used to retrieve these properties:

# define variables for script            
$SiteUrl = "http://yourserver/sites/yoursite"            
$viewurl = "http://yourserver/sites/yoursite/Lists/customlist/AllItems.aspx"            
             
$targetUrl = Get-SPWeb -Identity $SiteUrl            
if ($targetUrl -ne $null)            
{            
    $targetFile = $targetUrl.GetFile($viewurl)
    if($targetFile.Exists)            
    {            
        Write-Host "Created By: " $targetFile.Author            
        Write-Host "Modified: " $targetFile.TimeLastModified            
        Write-Host "Modified By: " $targetFile.ModifiedBy            
        Write-Host "Created: " $targetFile.TimeCreated            
    }            
    else            
    {            
        Write-Host "File doesn't exist"            
    }            
}
