Hi all, just successfully got this command to run, quick guide if anyone is stuck:
Firstly, if you have any versions of SharePoint Online Management Shell installed, uninstall now and quickly reboot.
Prerequisites
1) https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=35588 - New SPOnline Management Shell
2) https://github.com/officedev/pnp-powershell/releases - Handy Module!
Run SPOnline Management Shell as Admin and then run:
Import-Module Microsft.Online.SharePoint.Powershell -DisableNameChecking
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned (if this is already set you may receive and error message, don't worry and continue)
Install-Module SharePointPnPPowershellOnline -AllowClobber (allow all)
#credentials (copy and paste all 3 lines and run together)
$adminUPN="mailto:username@company.com"
$orgName="https://company.sharepoint.com"
$userCredential = Get-Credential -UserName $adminUPN -Message "Type the password."
#connect to SPO (copy one line at a time and run, replace "company" with your tenancy name)
Connect-SPOService -Url https://fusionmobilecrm-admin.sharepoint.com -Credential $userCredential
Connect-SPOnline -Url https://fusionmobilecrm.sharepoint.com -Credential $userCredential
#set special characters (select all and run)
Set-SPOTenant -SpecialCharactersStateInFileFolderNames Allowed
#test special characters setting
Get-SPOTenant | Format-List SpecialCharactersStateInFileFolderNames
This can take several hours/days apparently to propagate, let me know if you get stuck :)
