Cannot set SharePoint Home Site using PowerShell
Hi Team,
I've done some research online, and haven't found a solution to the issue I'm seeing. We have a Targeted Release tenancy, and wanted to try out the Home Site feature following directions from Microsoft.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/SharePoint/home-site
I have SharePoint Online Management Shell already installed, connected to my tenant, and executed the command: Set-SPOHomeSite -HomeSiteUrl MYSITEURL
Unfortunately, I receive the following error:
Set-SPOHomeSite : The term 'Set-SPOHomeSite' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
Any ideas why I would be receiving this error?
Thank you so much for your help!
Kind regards,
Alan Bryan

Alan0618 Try downloading latest version of SharePoint Online Management Shell & then updating SharePoint online PowerShell module using:
Update-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShellAlso make sure you are using communication site URL to set it as a home. You can follow below article for detailed steps:

- Are you sure you are using the last version of the PowerShell Management Shell? If you try any other SPO cmdlet, does it work?
Thank you for the reply.
I uninstalled and re-installed the current version of SharePoint Online Management Shell: 16.0.20324.12000.
Unfortunately, Set-SPOHomeSite still does not work. I tried your recommendation to test any SPO cmdlet, and Set-SpoSite works without any issues. (Please see below).
Any ideas why it'd be doing this? Thanks so much for your help!
- Connect SPOService to Admin site URL ; authentication and then run commnad.
