EXO command 'New-UnifiedGroup' issue on Linux version Powershell
I use below ExchangeOnline powershell (EXO v3.3) to create M365 group.
| New-UnifiedGroup -DisplayName "test_group" -Owner "<owner email address>" -PrimarySmtpAddress "<primary address>" |
It's working on Windows version powersehll (7.x) without problem.
But when I use exact same command (with same paramters) to create new M365 group under Linux version powershell, I just got below error, EXO module version is same as v3.3
| New-UnifiedGroup: |Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.TaskException|The group can't be created |
Because it does not show any reason, I have no idea what's wrong with the command.
- I just tested this in my WSL Ubuntu setup and installed PowerShell 73.7 on that and the ExchangeOnlineManagement module. Ran the command and created a test_group without any issues.
What PowerShell version are you running on Linux?- I just upgraded PS to 7.3.7, but still got same error.
Is that possible to get detail error from the command, we can't tell anything from the error shown.You could use -Verbose in the New-UnifiedGroup cmdlet. I'm not sure if that will show enough detail. I tried it again on my Ubuntu WSL on my Windows 11 machine, and it still works...
What you can do is enable logging (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/exchange/exchange-online-powershell-v2?view=exchange-ps#report-bugs-and-issues-for-the-exchange-online-powershell-module)
Connect-ExchangeOnline -EnableErrorReporting -LogDirectoryPath <Path to store log file> -LogLevel AllNot sure if that will also log the New-UnifiedGroup cmdlet?
