Adding M365Group to SharePoint Group

[pratheep-r]

I have a M365 group, which I need to add to SharePoint's member group when I create the site as a part of the script. Please see the error attached.

If I provide the full name of the SharePoint member group in "Add-PnPGroupMember" it works.
Please advise/help.

I tried the above code and it works fine when Get-PnPGroup -AssociatedMemberGroup only returns one group.

If you have more than one group returned in line 23 PowerShell will give you an array of groups, not the group itself (this is a standard PowerShell thing).

Either iterate over groups and add them one at the time, or try with $SPMemberGroup[0]

Thank you!
Added -validateConnection
Added -ErrorAction stop at tenant connection and site creation
Used -ReturnConnection for site and used the -Connection to subsequent codes require site connection.

Unfortunately still seeing the error;

[AndersRask]

Try and enable tracing and paste log here (removing tenant relevant or sensitive info)

Set-PnPTraceLog -On -LogFile traceoutput.txt

[pratheep-r]

I tried like this just above the first try block. Sadly it is not logging outputs.
Set-PnPTraceLog -On -LogFile "C:\Users\MC0147\xxxxx\Scripts\JDR\traceoutput.txt" -Level Debug

[AndersRask]

Don't set debug, then you will only get debug or higher. If you set nothing it should give Informational info level

[pratheep-r]

It is not outputting anything with or without debug.

I tried "New-PnPTenantSite" the sites creates okay. However, this would not work as I cannot create Modern Team Site with M365 Group.

Line 33 - $NewSite is not getting the new site object, therefore I am getting "Cannot bind argument to 'Url' because it is null". I am connecting to the $NewSite down the line to add permission and template.

Line 22 - Trace log is on, but not doing anything.

I have made some tweaks to script, please advise if you need the full script.

[pratheep-r]

With the -Interactive

Ok, you will have to find out what of your parameters it is failing on.
Line 133 in the framework takes these parameters

var returnedContext = Framework.Sites.SiteCollection.Create(ClientContext, creationInformation, noWait: !Wait, graphAccessToken: GraphAccessToken, azureEnvironment: Connection?.AzureEnvironment ?? Framework.AzureEnvironment.Production);

I would venture that your connection/context is not valid.
Try and do a simple thing in the console, like fetching lists on the site to check if you have a valid connection.
Also try to create the site "by hand" in the console, where you type the parameters like Title, Url etc by hand to test where it fails.

[pratheep-r]

Apologies if I misunderstood, "create site 'by hand' in the console" - I am able to create site from admin portal.

Although it error'ed when I use the "New-PnPSite"

Site is created when I use "New-PnPTenantSite"

Again $NewSite does not have the created site object. However, site is actually created.

So, appears, connection works when I use "New-PnPTenantsite"

It is really odd, I am running out of option. I am going to update my PnP module - I will have to wait get temp local admin rights sorted first.

[AndersRask]

I tried the above code, and both ways of creating a site works fine for me

[pratheep-r]

I updated the PnP.PowerShell module to 2.2.0, but to no avail.
Update-module threw an error something along the line of "was not installed by using Install-Module" although it was installed via "Install-Module".
I deleted the physical folder, used "Install-Module" scoping to all users.
I don't suspect anything to do with this, but thinking out loud, anything appears unusual?
