401 Error using PnP PowerShell in Azure Runbooks
Trying to get PnP PowerShell cmdlets to work within an Azure Runbook with modern authentication (no username/password). I tried registering an Azure AD app and a Service Principal (Run as account) from the automation account that hosts the Runbook. Both use a certificate thumbprint and authorization itself doesn't throw an error. Here's the code I'm using: $connection = Get-AutomationConnection –Name "AzureRunAsConnection" $tenant = '[tenant].onmicrosoft.com' $url = 'https://[tenant].sharepoint.com/sites/test' Connect-PnPOnline -Url $url –Thumbprint $connection.CertificateThumbprint –ClientId $connection.ApplicationID -Tenant $tenant For every PnP cmdlet this throws the following error. Get-PnPTenantSite : The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized. At line:7 char:1 + Get-PnPTenantSite + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-PnPTenantSite], WebException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Net.WebException,PnP.PowerShell.Commands.GetTenantSite I have also updated the cmdlets from SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline to the newest PnP.PowerShell. Furthermore, the Azure app and service principal are members of the SharePoint administrators group. When I attempt to reproduce the issue on a local machine I get the same 401 error. Any ideas? Thanks!

Random issues with Pnp Powershell in Azure Runbooks
Hi everyone, we're facing random issues when running PnP powershell from Azure runbooks when several instances of the same runbook run concurrently. The scenario We have several of runbooks, they all use PnP Powershell, and each of them perform different actions, such as Enabling site collection app catalog, scripting, external sharing, creating a list etc. Those runbooks get triggered in two different ways: - one is triggered after a new site is created, through a site script, that triggers a logic app and from there we trigger the runbook - the others are triggered via webhook (http post from a function attached to a queue) The issues When the same runbook is triggered more than once at the same time, they fail in different ways: - we see the logs being logged more than once, then the runbooks get suspended - pnp randomly fails, it does not enable the site catalog, or enable scripting, etc - if we put our code inside a try catch block, we use to read weird errors (null reference, invalid connection when using Connect-PnPOnline, etc) Some errors are: Set-PnPTenantSite : Object reference not set to an instance of an object. At line:41 char:9 Connect-PnPOnline : Token request failed. At line:31 char:5 Set-PnPTenantSite : No connection, please connect first with Connect-PnPOnline At line:41 char:9 Add-PnPSiteCollectionAppCatalog : Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Background info: The runbooks were never executed at the same time against the same site. When we trigger them concurrently, we only do it for 10 sites, and the runbooks are pretty simple (connect to the tenant, enable site collection app catalog, and then disconnect) Any ideas? Thanks
