Enforce naming conventions across Office 365 Groups
I ran into that too, and I think my problem was because I hadn't actually created the Group.Unified object/setting in AzureAD yet. Therefore, the error report was technically correct.
Check this to see if you have anything configured:
Get-AzureADDirectorySetting | ForEach Values
If not, create the settings AAD object:
Creating the Group.Unified Settings object (1-time task)
$template = Get-AzureADDirectorySettingTemplate | where-object {$_.displayname -eq “Group.Unified”}
$setting = $template.CreateDirectorySetting()
New-AzureADDirectorySetting -DirectorySetting $setting
After that, the 'is null' error should go away as the setting actually exists.
Re-run Get-AzureADDirectorySetting | ForEach Values and you should at least see the blank settings.
I found this site extremely helpful getting my settings configured & managing them:

Thanks a lot! This was essential in order to get Move-StaffHubTeam to work! The documentation is, to put it mildly, incomplete and misleading...
- Thank you, this was the part I was missing!
