{AssociatedOwnerGroup} error
After using NuGet to update the SharePoint PnPCore2013 package I now get the following error while deploying the security section of my site.
"Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object on server. The object is associated with property AssociatedOwnerGroup."
Current package: SharePointPnPCore2013 v2.13.1703
15.0.4797.1000
I did get this to work by recreating default groups but i'm not sure why this was necessary.
$web = Get-SPWeb http://myweb
$web.CreateDefaultAssociatedGroups("domain\account,"domain\account",$SiteName)
Do you have your build number of SharePoint 2013?

I think that PnP simply doesn't create SharePoint groups. Any of the seurity elements is expected to exist already. In general I exclude security anyway (-Excludehandlers option). When moving templates from one farm/tenant to another security accounts often do not match.
