Error:Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerException: Argument SiteUrl must be a tenant administration
Hello- I ma using PNP site provisioning engine to create sites. But while running the batch and at the time of creation of site it is giving error:
"Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerException: Argument SiteUrl must be a tenant administration site."
While I have used Poershell to make the site collection as tenant administration site. Also the apps are having Full Control permission in the site.
Any help will be much appreaciated.
Did you connect / authenticate to the SharePoint Admin Center site (https://[tenantname]-admin.sharepoint.com before executing your PowerShell script? Typically, before executing your PowerShell script to create sites (site collections), you'd first have to connect to SharePoint Online using one of the Connect-SPOService / Connect-SPOnline / Connect-PnPOnline PowerShell commands and specify your SharePoint Admin Center site with a least SharePoint Administrator credentials
I am creating a batch file for on Premises SP 2013.
