How to determine (find) who created a site on a MOSS 2007

  • Article

One of my colleague had asked query regarding how to find out the user who created the site in sharepoint 2007, obviously nothing in the UI to find out that. So we will have to do it programmatically and the way to get it is to use the SPWeb.Authors property. More details here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spweb.author.aspx

In case if someone wants to find out who created the site and not the owner of the site then a small console application can be written that uses the SPWeb.Authors property and running this console applicaiton on one of the sharepoint WFEs in the farm.
