The SharePoint library is loaded using the following command flow:

• [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint");
• $spFarm = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPFarm]::Local;
• if(!$spFarm){echo("---CANNOT EXECUTE DISCOVERY---"); exit(1)}

After the last command is executed, the local SharePoint farm is initialized or the message ---CANNOT EXECUTE DISCOVERY--- is displayed.

When SharePoint is discovered by PowerShell, the ShowSharePointHostConfig and ShowSharePointWebConfig commands are called. The SharePoint Farm CI is built from executing the following commands:

• Echo($spFarm.Id.Guid) – discovers the farm ID

• Echo($spFarm.BuildVersion.ToString()) – discovers the farm version
