How to provision site collection using CSOM in SharePoint on premise

Hi,
I need to create site collection using CSOM in SharePoint on premise.
Most of the forums discuss on provisioning site collection in SharePoint online and that does not work in on premises.
Is it possible to provision site collection using CSOM in on premise?
Kindly, share some reference to accomplish this.
Thanks in advance,
Dhijit

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create a site collection using Client Object Model in SharePoint on-premise environment.
One option is that you can follow the article below to create the site collection with CSOM.
Provisioning site collections using SP App model in on-premises with just CSOM 
Another option,  I suggest you can use admin web service for SharePoint 2013 to create a site collection.
Here is a detailed article for your reference:
Admin.CreateSite method
Thanks

  • Setting SharingCapability property for a Site Collection using CSOM in C#

    Hello,
    I am trying to deploy multiple site collections in a SharePoint 2013 Online tenant, using CSOM in C#.
    I am currently using the SiteCreationProperties to do this, but I miss one crucial parameter : SharingCapability.
    Do you guys know a way of activating external sharing for a site collection in CSOM ?

    I believe you can set the SharingCapability of the Site after you create it. You can use the Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.TenantAdministration.Tenant.GetSitePropertiesByUrl(siteUrl, true)
    This returns SiteProperties object with a SharingCapability property you can set with the appropriate enumeration. Then call the Update method.

  • How to extract audit log data from every document library in site collection using powershell?

    Hi All,
    I have n number of document library in one site collection,
    My query is- How to extract audit log data from every document library in a site collection using powershell?
    Please give solution as soon as possible?

    Hi inguru,
    For SharePoint audit log data, These data combine together in site collection. So there is no easy way to extract audit log data for document library.
    As a workaround, you can export the site collection audit log data to a CSV file using PowerShell Command, then you can filter the document library audit log data in Excel.

  • How to access site collection with a different name?

    Hello,
    I have a web application with an URL like http://testsite.  And, it has a site collection
    named http://testsite.
    Can I have another site collection using the same web application like http://testsite/site and use alternative access mappings to map it to http://companysite?
    Is this possible?
    Thanks
    Paul

    Hi  Paul,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to map the non-root site collection from
    http://testsite to http://companysite .
    For your issue, it cannot be achieved by using Alternative Access 
    Mappings.  For achieving your demand, you can create host-named site collection instead of path-based site collection.
    For more information, you can refer to the blog:

  • Delete site collection using Client object model

    Is it possible to delete a site collection using Client object model?
    -Prashant

    I don't think you can create or delete a site-collection using SharePoint Client Object Model. You'd need to leverage admin web services (
    http://Site/_vti_adm/Admin.asmx) (or) server-side object model (or) powershell for this task.

  • How to retrive latest items from different site collection using content search web part

    I have a web application that contains two site collections(team site + enterprise wiki), with the following URLs:-
    -http://applicationname/teamsite
    -http://applicationname/enterprisewik
    Now I need to display the latest 10 wiki pages that are inside the enterprise wiki site collection (according to the modified date) inside the team site. So I read that using Content search web part allows for cross-site content query.
    So I added a new content search web part , inside my team site, and I click on “change query” button. But I am not sure how I can reference the enterprise wiki site collection's library and to specify that I need to get the latest 10 wiki pages using the
    content search web part's query dialog box? Can anyone advice please ?
    Thanks

    Edit the webpart and click change query in search criteria.  click on switch to advanced mode and enter your path:
    (path:"http://applicationname/teamsite" OR path:"http://applicationname/enterprisewik")
    you can specify sorting by created date and click ok.  in number of items to show, type 10.  this should fulfill your requirement.

    list.
    My task is to display Survey name , description ,Time created and URLs of all survey lists using java script in script editor web part.
    And let me know , if there is any other OOB feature of SharePoint 2013 to achieve the same.

    for example "http://<server name>/Shared Documents" but when i upload the same document to one of the sub site collection created using Managed Path( the site collection path is "http://<server name>/files/Case" and the library
    name is "records") it fails and i get below error:

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you had an issue uploading files to subsite using REST.
    I had made a simple code demo below, it will upload a file to Document Library after you make your selection with the File control.
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function uploadFile(){
    //alert(2);
    if (document.getElementById("file").files.length === 0) {
    alert('No file was selected');
    return;
    var parts = document.getElementById("file").value.split("\\");
    var filename = parts[parts.length - 1];
    var file = document.getElementById("file").files[0];
    uploadFileSync("http://YourSite", "Documents", filename, file);
    //Upload file synchronously
    function uploadFileSync(spWebUrl , library, filename, file)
    //alert(3);
    var reader = new FileReader();
    reader.onloadend = function(evt)
    if (evt.target.readyState == FileReader.DONE)
    var buffer = evt.target.result;
    var completeUrl = spWebUrl
    + "/_api/web/lists/getByTitle('"+ library +"')"
    + "/RootFolder/Files/add(url='"+ filename +"',overwrite='true')?"
    + "@TargetLibrary='"+library+"'&@TargetFileName='"+ filename +"'";
    $.ajax({
    url: completeUrl,
    type: "POST",
    data: buffer,
    async: false,
    processData: false,
    headers: {
    "accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
    "X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val(),
    "content-length": buffer.byteLength
    complete: function (data) {
    //uploaded pic url
    console.log(data.responseJSON.d.ServerRelativeUrl);
    error: function (err) {
    alert('failed');
    reader.readAsArrayBuffer(file);
    </script>
    <input type="file" id='file' onchange="uploadFile()"/>

  • How to deploy site collection has sub sites to other environments

    Hello everybody,
    I have a site collection SharePoint online.
    In the site, haven 3 sub sites.

    How can i do that?
    I am trying save site as template but that is not support sub site.
    Thanks and best Regards,

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to backup SharePoint online site to another environment.
    For SharePoint server, we can use the PowerShell to backup the site collection with all the subsites.
    However, per the technet article below, there is no backup and restore cmdlets for SharePoint online to backup and restore.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161374.aspx
    You can use the third-party tool to achieve this scenario.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/akieft/archive/2012/01/09/restore-options-in-sharepoint-online.aspx
    As this is the forum for SharePoint server on-premise, I’m not familiar with the SharePoint online, for this issue, I recommend you can post a new question in the forum for Office 365/SharePoint online.

  • How to update user properties using CSOM

    Hello All ,
    Is it possible to update a SharePoint user properties (like email, title, etc) using CSOM API? In the User class (Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.User) i saw properties like Email, Title are possible to get and set. I tried updating these properties through code
    like below, but it is not getting updated in SharePoint. Is there any alternative way?
            String updateUser= "john alex";
                User user1 = web.EnsureUser(updateUser);
                user1.Email = "[email protected]";
                clientContext.Load(user1);
                clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
    Regards
    Shahabas

    You are not calling the update on the user object. Here is an example:
    String updateUser= "john alex";
    User user1 = web.EnsureUser(updateUser);
    user1.Email = "[email protected]";
    user1.Update();
    clientContext.Load(user1);
