Thanks Peter for the reply. I can not use csom as i need to get information from the tenant and csom does not supports the tenant or farm object informtion. 

 

I have used azure automation to host the script and moved my c# to powershell only. It helped to sort it out.

That's not correct...SPO cmdlets are built on top of CSOM and in CSOM you have a tenant assembly you can use to work at the tenant level...and just as a reminder, in SPO the highest level you can work is the tenant level, no the farm one

    Hi Juan,

     

    What i was trying to do was get the site collections list in the tenant and details, I did not get any object in C# to access the tenant object , I could see there is a third party dll in nuget which i could use to get the tenant object but i wanted to stick to microsoft.

     

    If you can share some example or some article that would be good to know for future knowoledge.

     

     

    Thanks,

    KJ

        Hi,

         

        Thanks for the sample, May be i did not put my question correctly here 

         

        What i was initially trying was to get the list of all the site collection from csom in C# web job, So was not able to find the tenant object in C# to resolve that what i did 

         

        My intial approch 

        from c# web job call powershell object and get the site collection list using " Get-SPOSite " but as i deployed the job in azure it was not able to find reference for "Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell" and it threw exception.

        Roadblock 

        Was not able to get tenant object in C# initially and later on tried getting powershell but the reference was not resolved "Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell"  in azure web job code.

         

        Final approch 

        I moved the compelte code in powershell to get site collection list and write back to sharepoint list and deployed as runbook.

         

        Kindly correct me if i am wrong but is there a way in c# to get list of all site collections in a farm.

         

        Thanks,
