How to process the output of the stsadm EnumAllWebs operation

Recently I wrote about how to process the output of the Test-SPContentDatabase PowerShell cmdlet.

If you use the EnumAllWebs operation of the stsadm command, you have similar options as well. However, you have the output in XML format in this case, so we should use XPath expressions to access the information we need.

First, save the result into a text file:

stsadm -o EnumAllWebs -DatabaseName YourContentDB -IncludeFeatures -IncludeWebParts >> C:\Output.xml

then load its content into an XML object:

$reportXml = [Xml] (Get-Content C:\Output.xml)

To list the missing features:

Select-Xml -Xml $reportXml -XPath ‘//Site’ | % { $siteId = $_.Node.Id; Select-Xml -Xml $_.Node -XPath ‘Features/Feature[@Status="Missing"]/@Id’ | % { (Get-SPFeature -Site $siteId -Identity $_.Node.Value).DisplayName } }

Note, that site templates created by saving an existing site as a site template from the UI might be reported as missing features as explained here.

To get an overview of the site templates:

Select-Xml -Xml $reportXml -XPath ‘//Web/@TemplateName’ | % { $_.Node.Value } | Group { $_ }

To get an overview of the missing web-scoped features:

Select-Xml -Xml $reportXml -XPath ‘//Web/Features/Feature[@Status="Missing"]/@Id’ | % { $_.Node.Value } | Group { $_ } | % { Write-Host $_.Name – Count is $_.Count }

Finally, to get an overview of the missing web parts:

Select-Xml -Xml $reportXml -XPath ‘//Web/WebParts/WebPart[@Status="Missing"]/@Id’ | % { $_.Node.Value } | Group { $_ } | % { Write-Host $_.Name – Count is $_.Count }
