Enabling a missing "Save site as template" using PowerShell

Yeah, this will be replaced... But please enjoy the search!

This blog post presents a great way to do this by using SPD, which I quite often tend to not have installed. Instead I rely on PowerShell, now if this feature is missing there is a property (SaveSiteAsTemplateEnabled) that is set on the Web.

Simply run this script

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
$site = Get-SPSite -Identity "http://sharepointsite.com/sites/collection"
$web = $site.RootWeb;
$web.SaveSiteAsTemplateEnabled = $true;
$web.Update();

And voila, the save site option is once again available
