Team Site Provisioning
Which begs the question when are we going to be able to create modern team sites from the admin portal?
While it has been said that it will be possible to create both classic and modern team site from the SharePoint home, AFAIK it has not been said that it will be possible to create also modern team sites from the SharePoint admin center (if it is what you mean...).
On the other side, there are plenty of ways to create Groups (and hence modern team sites), included from the Office 365 admin center, so why bother?
Would really be nice to have a central location to be able to create groups then "tick" on the added services if necessary. Options to add Planner, Teams, Yammer rather than adding them all up front or having your point of entry dictate what services you get. You can't retrocatevly go add a team or a yammer group to a pre-existing group at least not that I'm aware of.
And yes I'd like to see the conolidated view in the admin portal so I don't have to use PowerShell if I don't want and in most cases I don't want to......
When you create a new Team, if you are a Group Admin, you will get the option to connect the existing Group with the new Team (at least from the Team desktop app).
The services "tick" method is a dream for many admins, here: we have asked it several times...
But you can surely add a Team to a pre-existing Group, while this is not actually possible for a Yammer conversation, AFAIK.
Also, as I already said, you are not forced to use PowerShell to create Groups: as an admin you can very well create them in the Admin Center.
