powershell check sharepoint URLs

active-directory, authentication, powershell, sharepoint

Solution

If your current credentials have perms on the Sharepoint site then skip the net credential and just use the default credentials e.g.:

$webClient.UseDefaultCredentials = $true

Problem

I'm trying to write a script that iterates through a bunch of sharepoint URLs and verifies that they exist. From what I can find, it looks like this should work: ``` $webclient = new-object System.Net.WebClient $webclient.Credentials = new-object System.Net.NetworkCredential ("username", "password", "domain") $webpage = $webclient.DownloadString("http://sharepointurl") ``` This is not working for me ... I keep getting: Exception calling "DownloadString" with "1" argument(s): "The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized." What am I missing ?
