MicrosoftCorrect we support restoring an entire groups and all the apps associated with it (including SharePoint). For this specific issue, only the SP site got deleted somehow and that's not something we support.
If he deleted the rest of the group and info would sharepoint comeback as part of the restore process?
- cfiessingeryes assuming the group was deleted properly (via UI or via supported PowerShell UI or cmdlets)
Thanks for everyone's input. I'm going to try and recreate this issue on a new test Group that i create by deleting the site for it and then deleting the Group. Then I'll try and do the restore via powershell.
- To follow up with my last response. I did a test on a group. I deleted the SharePoint site from the deleteweb.aspx page. I then confirmed that it was gone. I then went to the Group in Outlook in O365 and deleted the group from there. Again confirmed that it was deleted. I then restored the Group using the PowerShell commands. The group and everything with it was restored except for the SharePoint site. So it looks like that will not work. Worth a shot thought
Glad to see though how easy the new restore process is for O365 groups is.
So my next question is how can I create a new SharePoint site and only a site and attach it to the existing group that had the original site deleted? is that even possible?
Thanks!
