Okay, I figured out that I need to target the SharePointPnPPowerShell[2013|2016|Online].psd1 file and not the .DLL.  That solves the main issue above.  I also found the -DisableNameChecking parameter which got rid of the "verb" warning.

 

HOWEVER...

 

When I try running agaist 2016 on premises, Connect-PnPOnline complains:

 

Connect-PnPOnline : Method not found: 'Void Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContextExtensions.ExecuteQueryRetry(Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientRuntimeContext, Int32, Int32)'.

 

Is there some issue with ExecuteQueryRetry in the 2016 version of the library?  I have the exact same script running against my SP Online site and it works perfectly.

 

I have triple checked that the correct 2016 module is the only one loaded.  I really need to be able to use this against an On Prem installation, so any insight will be welcome.

 

Thanks in advance.
