The title pretty much says it all - I've looked at the docs but I just keep finding Get-Item and Get-ItemTempate.

Lets say I have a template with id 123456, I want to get all items that are using this template. How would I do that?

This should do it for you.

$defaultPath = "/sitecore/content"

[Sitecore.Data.ID]$articleId = "{03360FC1-B4C0-4770-9E1D-79E8317B74DD}"



$articles = Find-Item -Index sitecore_master_index `

   -Where 'TemplateId = @0 and Path.StartsWith(@1)' `

   -WhereValues $articleId, $defaultPath | Initialize-Item

Another way using template name and Criteria.

$articles = Find-Item `

   -Index sitecore_master_index `

   -Criteria @{Filter = "Equals"; Field = "_templatename"; Value = "Article"},

   @{Filter = "Equals"; Field = "_language"; Value = "en"},

   @{Filter = "StartsWith"; Field = "_fullpath"; Value = "/sitecore/content" } 

I would recommend you use the Get-ItemReferrer command. This is based on the Link Database and should be extremely fast.

A similar question was asked here.

$sampleItemTemplateId = "{76036F5E-CBCE-46D1-AF0A-4143F9B557AA}"

$sampleItemTemplateItem = Get-Item -Path "master:" -ID $sampleItemTemplateId



Get-ItemReferrer -Item $sampleItemTemplateItem

As you can see below, all referrers are returned. You can then filter out with Where-Object if you want to exclude content, media, templates, etc.
