SPSCleanDependencies - SharePoint SPSCleanDependencies Farm Tool

SPSCleanDependencies is a PowerShell script tool to clean Missing Server Dependencies in your SharePoint Farm.

Key Features

• Dependency Detection (default): Detects missing server-side dependencies and outputs them to a JSON file.
• Dependency Cleanup (-Clean switch):
  • Reads a JSON configuration file (if it exists) to identify missing dependencies.
  • Handles the following types of missing dependencies:
  • Features: Removes missing feature references.
  • WebParts: Removes missing WebPart references (resolves each WebPart class to its per-page location and removes the instance via GetLimitedWebPartManager).
  • Setup Files: Removes missing setup file references.
  • Assemblies: Removes missing assembly references.
  • Configuration: Updates SPSite owners with classic authentication and removes missing configuration references.
  • Orphaned Sites: Removes orphaned site references via ForceDeleteSite.
• Logging:
  • Creates a log file in the Logs folder with a timestamped filename.
  • Outputs script metadata, including version, start time, and PowerShell version.
• Results history & report:
  • Archives the previous Results\<FileName>.json into Results\history\ (timestamped) before each audit, with configurable retention.
  • Generates a self-contained Results\<FileName>.html report summarising the missing dependencies per category.
