Thanks! So with that template configured you are saying that you can create Groups in other apps but not Outlook?

Prior to AzureAD cmdlets Group creation control was only available through an OWA mailbox policy which would only work within Outlook. You can check on this with this info:

$creds = Get-Credential $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange –ConnectionUri ` https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $creds -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection Import-PSSession $Session Get-OwaMailboxPolicy | select Name,GroupCreationEnabled
