SharePoint 2010: creating a site in a sitecollection automatically

Question

I am looking at ways of automating creation of sites in a site collection in SharePoint 2010. Actually, for some load/stress test, I need to create around 100 sites in a site collection. I can create a site from the SharePoint admin site. But I wish to create large number of them and possibly using some automation.

Please let me know possible ways.

stsadm.exe is no longer available for Sharepoint 2010

However you use cmdlets: New-SPSite

Like: New-spsite –url http://someWeb/sites/someSite -OwnerAlias domain\username -template STS#0

You are right - stsadm.exe is no longer available for Sharepoint 2010 – rudolf_franek Oct 04 '11 at 09:08
Does it support some kind of batch files? – Kangkan Oct 04 '11 at 10:32
Yes it does. Either you split your cmdlet calls by semicolon or call cmdlets from cmd line: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/932291/calling-powershell-cmdlets-from-windows-batch-file – rudolf_franek Oct 04 '11 at 10:51
