Install to global assembly cache without gacutil

In Windows Server 2012 you can't install a DLL to the GAC by drag/drop, but you can do it using GACUTIL.exe.
GacUtil.exe is not present on the server by default.
You can do it using the following script instead of Gacutil.exe

In Windows 2012 you can use the following PowerShell to install dll to GAC

Set-location "c:\temp"
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load("System.EnterpriseServices, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a")
$publish = New-Object System.EnterpriseServices.Internal.Publish
$publish.GacInstall("c:\temp\test.dll")
iisreset

In Windows 2012 you can use the following PowerShell to remove dll from GAC:

Set-location "c:\temp"
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load("System.EnterpriseServices, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a")
$publish = New-Object System.EnterpriseServices.Internal.Publish
$publish.GacRemove("c:\temp\test.dll")
iisreset

The feature failed to activate because a list at 'PublishingImages' already exists in this site. Delete or rename the list and try activating the feature again.

The most common issue we may face when we try to activate SharePoint Publishing infrastructure Feature from Manage site features.

Try to activate that feature using Shell command. It will work out with out error:

 Enable-SPFeature -Identity PublishingWeb -URL http://test:1000/ -Force

Adding User Permissions using Power shell script in SharePoint 2013

In SharePoint we are having permission level operations. To that SharePoint group we can add users through Site Settings -> Site Permissions.

And also we can give permissions using PowerShell scripts.

For Single User:

new-spuser -UserAlias "User1" -Web "http://test:100/sites/home1" -Group "TestUsers"

For Every One:

new-spuser -UserAlias "Everyone" -Web "http://test:100/sites/home1" -Group "TestUsers"

By executing this PowerShell script we can add users to the SharePoint groups.


thank you,
