Hi Christoph,

Interestingly I am also experiencing this issue within our M365 tenant. This has only been a problem for the last few days aswell, which would indicate an issue being present.

Would be interested to hear what Microsoft have to say about this.

Kind regards,

Sam

    hey Sam,
    its working now! I think there was a problem in the backend. I got the advice to look deeper into that error response which is not so easy in PowerShell.

     

    So used postman to see if I could get more information.
    If I used my custom template, I got the following error

     

    A template with id 'myTemplateID' and locale 'en-US' could not be found

     

    Even if I changed the ID to standard I got an error ... very odd.

     

    And this behavior is gone since  yesterday ..  So for me its working as expected .

     

    I am not sure if you are using Powershell for your post but I do and I  forgot to put -ContentType "application/json" into my invoke-webrequest 

     

    Also not sure why this was needed for one tenant but not for the other... make no sence 

     

    $requestBody = @"
{
    "template@odata.bind": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teamsTemplates('f78f97a1-7e03-47db-90e9-421859bc7d71')",
    "displayName": "$team_displayname",
    "description": "$team_description",
    "visibility": "Public",
    "owners@odata.bind": [
                            "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/<ownerID>"
                           ]
}
"@


$result = Invoke-WebRequest -Method POST -Uri "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/teams" -Body $requestBody -Headers $headers -ContentType "application/json"

     

    So my advice give it a shot on your end  again 🙂

     

    Have a nice weekend

     

    Christoph
