There are 2 properties of site collection. Site Id & Web Id.

I want to find out web id of list of site collections. Above code gives me Title of web(site Collection) but fails for Web ID.

I hope it is clear.

Which version of PnP PowerShell are you using. I'm using the September release and Id is coming back without any problem.

    I tried with September release. Still no luck. Are you providing list of site collections to the script?

      I opened 4-5 site collections in SharePoint Online Client Browser and they are showing same Web Id for all the site collections. In the screen shot below I am assuming Level 1 as Site Id and Level 2 as Web Id.

        Are those site collections or sites?

         

        I just ran this:

         

        Connect-PnPOnline https://mytenant.sharepoint.com -Credentials $cred

Get-PnPWeb
 
Connect-PnPOnline https://mytenant.sharepoint.com/sites/site2 -Credentials $cred

Get-PnPWeb

Title                     ServerRelativeUrl Id
