Setting "-VivaConnectionsDefaultStart $true" doesn't seem to work or what is the expected behaviour?
I tried this on different Tenants, my Development Tenant included, but the change back to the default landing page doesn't seem to work as expected. Surely the link on the top right opens the SharePoint Homepage, but I don't want the Microsoft Viva Home experience to show up. I tried both ways, activating it and deactivating it. Without any success.
- On my Development Tenant I tried to activate the "New Home experience" with -VivaConnectionsDefaultStart $false since it didn't show up. Without any success.
- On a different customer Tenant, it was the other way around. The "New Home experience" was active and they want to have the old experience back without the step of clicking the link (Top right) to enter SharePoint. That's how it was setup before the rollout of the new experience.
Is this a known issue or did I do something wrong? Maybe I am understanding it wrong and the expected behaviour is to always have the Microsoft Viva screen when opening Viva Connections. And the command $true just adds the link to SharePoint on top right. Anyone with the same problem?
I used the newest Version of Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell 16.0.23408.12000 and didn't get any errors.
