How to change Sharepoint Online site name using Powershell

Is there a way to change Sharepoint Online site name using Powershell? Start-SPOSiteRename it's not useful for this.

Ah! I understand 🙂

So use the PnP one instead, that doesn't require a NewUrl field. So you can change just the title 🙂

Why didn't Start-SPOSiteRename work for you ?

SPO:

#Set Parameters
$AdminCenterURL="https://Contoso-admin.sharepoint.com"
$SiteURL = "https://Contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/HR"
$NewSiteURL = "https://Contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/HRInteral"
$NewSiteTitle = "HR Interal"
 
#Connect to SharePoint Online
Connect-SPOService -Url $AdminCenterURL
 
Start-SPOSiteRename -Identity $SiteURL -NewSiteUrl $NewSiteURL -NewSiteTitle $NewSiteTitle -Confirm:$false

PNP:

#Parameters
$AdminSiteURL="https://Contoso-admin.sharepoint.com"
$OldSiteURL = "https://Contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/HR"
$NewSiteUrl = "https://Contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/HRInternal"
 
#Connect to SharePoint Online from PnP PowerShell
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $AdminSiteURL -Interactive
 
#Change sharepoint online site url powershell
Rename-PnPTenantSite -Identity $OldSiteURL -NewSiteUrl $NewSiteUrl

Hi NicolasKheirallah,
Thank you very much for your feedback...

Just one adjustment: I don't speak English and I use an online translator. It may be that I make a mistake when expressing myself, but I'll try my best 😉

Good...

In this case "SPO" works. I even redid it to make sure...
In this case it works IF I even change the website URL.
What I would like to do is not change the URL.

Just the Title. I can't do this.
