Connect-SPOService Unexpected token error
Hello, This is my first post ever so I apologize if I am missing obvious details. I am writing a script in PowerShell that requires connecting SharePoint and I am doing so with the Connect-SP...
A cursory search on google points to this:
The most likely causes of the error are as follows: the UPN of the admin account used to connect to SharePoint Online contains special characters, for example - or _, or the admin account has abnormal/non-standard values defined in other properties. There are two known solutions to the problem: Use the UPN with the default onmicrosoft.com domain name (e.g. email address removed for privacy reasons) to connect to SharePoint Online in CodeTwo Backup. Use another global admin account (global admin or SharePoint admin) to configure a SharePoint connection in the program. Preferably, create a fresh account that does not include any problematic configuration or special characters in its UPN.https://www.codetwo.com/userguide/backup/troubleshooting-sharepoint.htm
Hello, What happens if you login interactively?
- It works fine
- Trying to reproduce but I still can't, also using SecretManagement
Are you using a PSCredential?
What version of the management shell?Yes the Get-Secret returns a PSCredential, but also I think that's not the problem. I just re-created the problem without it. I can do:
Connect-SPOService -url link -credential email
Enter my password, and still get the same 'center' unexpected token error.
