While trying to execute this Power-shell command:
$site = Get-SPSite "http://mysite/"
facing:
Get-SPSite : Cannot find an SPSite object with Id or Url: http://mysite/. At line:1 char:9 + $spSite = Get-SPSite <<<< " + CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (Microsoft.Share...SPCmdletGetSite: SPCmdletGetSite) [Get-SPSite], SPCmdletPipeBindException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPCmdletGetSite
Maybe this user doesn't have enough permissions to get spsite. Add him as SPShellAdmin in content database please.
$db = Get-SPContentDatabase -site http://sharepoint
Add-SPShellAdmin -UserName SPSP_User -database $db
I had this same issue and a coworker suggested adding the user to the SPDataAccess role in SQL for the content database. This was all it took to resolve.
You have the same error message if the Security Token Service does not function properly. See this blog post for the detailed description.
Run command $site = Get-SPSite -Identity "http://mysite/"
Make sure that you run the SharePoint power-shell command on the same machine(Farm) containing the site, otherwise it will not work.
