SharePoint 2010: creating a site in a sitecollection automatically

I am looking at ways of automating creation of sites in a site collection in SharePoint 2010. Actually, for some load/stress test, I need to create around 100 sites in a site collection. I can create a site from the SharePoint admin site. But I wish to create large number of them and possibly using some automation.

Please let me know possible ways.

Solution

  • stsadm.exe is no longer available for Sharepoint 2010

    However you use cmdlets: New-SPSite

    Like: New-spsite –url http://someWeb/sites/someSite -OwnerAlias domain\username -template STS#0
