O365 groups missing - SharePoint Modern Team Site

Hello Everyone,

We have over 450+ team site in our SPO tenant and we started to noticed that most of these site does not have an O365 group associated/attached to it. Looks like O365 groups did not get created during the site creation.

>  The built in filter view in SPO admin page- active sites - shows that all the sites has O365 groups 
however cannot find them under groups in any admin page (SPO,Exchange groups, or in AzurePortal)

> Tried to create a new group via PS and i get this message
Connect-SPOService -Url $SPOAdminCenterUrl -Credential $O365Cred

$GroupDisplayName="Group Display Name"
$GroupAlias="GroupAlias"
Set-SPOSiteOffice365Group -Site $ModernSPOSite -DisplayName $GroupDisplayName -Alias $GroupAlias
====
Output
====
Set-SPOSiteOffice365Group : This site already has an O365 Group attached.
At line:5 char:1
+ Set-SPOSiteOffice365Group -Site https://modern.sharepoint.com/sites ...

+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Set-SPOSiteOffice365Group], ServerException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerException,Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell.SetSPOOffice365Group

 

Any suggestion on how to get a report or list of all the site which does not have O365 groups associated to the Modern site

 

Thanks in advanced. 

  • You can actually create a modern SP team site without a office 365 group, but that doesn’t seem to be applicable here since it says it belongs to a group?
    Have you tried to search for office 365 groups in the office 365 admin portal - groups?
    Powershell: get-unifiedgroup with the exchange ps module connected!

    How did the sites get created? Via SP?

      adam deltinger  The site was creating via SP 
      these deleted groups are not listed under O365 admin portal- groups, nor in the azure portal under deleted groups. Will try this Powershell: get-unifiedgroup with the exchange ps module connected! and let you know. 
      Thanks for your time :)

    Have you been able to fix this? I'm having the same issue. The site is attached to a group that doesn't exist anymore. And I can't change the site because is already linked.

    Thanks.
