Create Groups with PowerShell
We have a PowerShell that create Microsoft Groups based on a CSV file. After creating a group, we would like to set a lot of settings - doclibrary versionhistory, language, local time...
The provision process for a sitecollection takes so long after creating a groups.
Our steps:
- Create Microsoft Groups (check) (we use: $session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $userCredentials -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection)
- The SiteCollection will create, after click "go to teamsite" in the welcome message (not check, but in work - actual it's a manual job)
....the provision process takes over 2 hour... :(
- only after fnishing the provision process, we can set the settings
Has anybody a tipp or a solution, that performs the provisioning process in a shorter time and create Microsoft Groups faster over PowerShell?
Thanks a lot,
Dave

Well, we have discussed this on different forums...the problem you are having (even I'm seeing improvements) is well known...I think you might consider to create the Groups using the Graph TonyRedmond cfiessinger VesaJuvonen
jcgonzalezmartin thanks for your feedback. We have tested this with Graph, but same issues...and with graph we can't set specific settings...
jcgonzalezmartin The provisioning over the api takes so long, more hours (2-4h). When i manually create a groups, it's so fast - i wish this with PowerShell also.
After the provisioning, a group is created and also a sharepoint, but appears the following error:
