Connect-SPOSite not working with Get-SPOTermStore

[davidjamesbc]

Running the script below.

When statement is reached; Connect-SPOSite runs and the script stops

It the Connect-SPOSite is then commented out the script runs to completion.

Or am I being dumb?

Add-Type -Path "\vmware-host\Shared Folders\projects\ProductDevelopment\LiteBrand\Source\LiteCreation\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll"
Add-Type -Path "\vmware-host\Shared Folders\projects\ProductDevelopment\LiteBrand\Source\LiteCreation\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll"
Add-Type -Path "\vmware-host\Shared Folders\projects\ProductDevelopment\LiteBrand\Source\LiteCreation\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Taxonomy.dll"
Import-Module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell -DisableNameChecking
Import-Module "C:\Program Files (x86)\Falchion Consulting, LLC\SharePoint Online PowerShell\Lapointe.SharePointOnline.PowerShell\Lapointe.SharePointOnline.PowerShell.dll" -DisableNameChecking

$webappurl = "https://me.sharepoint.com"
$adminUrl = "https://me-admin.sharepoint.com"
$owner = "me@me.onmicrosoft.com"
$adminuser = "me@3AE3.onmicrosoft.com"

Script will exist after this; must run once and then comment out

connect to SharePoint Online

Lapointe.SharePointOnline.PowerShell\Connect-SPOSite -Url $webappurl"/sites/Inform" -Credential $adminuser

$TermStore = Get-SPOTermStore -Identity 0

New-SPOTermGroup -TermStore 0 -Name "Main"

Not sure what you’re doing wrong but I just did this quick test and it works for me:

$cred = Get-Credential

$ctx = connect-sposite -Url "https://falchiontest.sharepoint.com" -Credential $cred

$ts = Get-SPOTermStore

Gary,

Many thanks.

If I use the syntax from your quick test it works perfectly.

If I use the below syntax (Copied from the command reference on your blog) then after Connect-SPOSite is issue the script stops

$username = "admin@contoso.sharepoint.com"
PS C:> $password = "password"
PS C:> $cred = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $userName, $(ConvertTo-SecureString $password -AsPlainText -Force)
PS C:> Connect-SPOSite -Url "http://contoso.sharepoint.com/" -Credential $cred

Clearly I have it working now with your kind guidance but I thought I should let you know in case it was helpful your normal quest for perfection!

Do you get any sort of error? All this is doing is hard-coding the username/pwd in the script (something I don’t recommend but helpful in certain situations) and then using that to create the credential object.

Full output from the Powershell ISE command window below. Using windows 10

PS Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::\vmware-host\Shared Folders\projects\ProductDevelopment\LiteBrand\Source\LiteCreation> \vmware-host\Shared Folders\projects\ProductDevelopment\LiteBrand\Source\LiteCreation\GetTSTest.ps1

Context Url

Lapointe.SharePointOnline.PowerShell.CmdletContext https://me.sharepoint.com/

PS Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::\vmware-host\Shared Folders\projects\ProductDevelopment\LiteBrand\Source\LiteCreation>

Once I comment out the #connect-sposite and re-run I can see the term store id,name contenttypepub hub properties etc.

Strange
