How to Show Version History in SharePoint 2013 using PowerShell

Hello SharePoint Pals,
 
Here is an Interesting piece of requirement  that I would like to share with you all.  Suddenly one of my customers had come up with a requirement , that he would like to know how frequent the SharePoint doucment library is modified and usage analytics of the documents in a document library. The simple and efficient method that I follow is to get Version History for all the documents in a SharePoint Library using PowerShell Commands.
 
Here is the piece of code provided below.
 
  1. $Site = Get-SPSite http://mysite/Sample  
  2.   
  3. $Webs = $Site.AllWebs  
  4.   
  5. foreach ($Web in $Webs)  
  6. {  
  7. foreach ($List in $web.Lists)  
  8. {  
  9. //Check if the Versioning is enabled or not.  
  10.   
  11. if($List.EnableVersioning)  
  12. {  
  13. $Item=$List.Items[0]  
  14. foreach($Version in $Item.Versions)  
  15. {  
  16. Write-Host "Documen Library Name:" $List.Title "-" "Document Name:" $Item.Title $Version.VersionLabel  
  17. }  
  18. }  
  19. }  
  20. }  
  21. $Web.Dispose()  
  22. $Site.Dispose()  
Happy SharePointing :-)
