Get-SPWebTemplate [[-Identity] <SPWebTemplatePipeBind>] [-AssignmentCollection <SPAssignmentCollection>] [-CompatibilityLevel <UInt32>]
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Identity | Optional | Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPWebApplicationPipeBind | Specifies the name of the Web template to display. The type must be the ID or full or partial name of the Web template. | ||
| AssignmentCollection | Optional | Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPAssignmentCollection | Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.
| ||
| CompatibilityLevel | Optional | System.UInt32 | Specifies the version of templates to use when creating a new SPSite object. This value sets the initial CompatibilityLevel value for the site collection. The values for this parameter can be either SharePoint Server 2010 or SharePoint Server 2013. When this parameter is not specified, the CompatibilityLevel will default to the highest possible version for the Web application depending on the SiteCreationMode setting |
