Working around with: Connect-SPOService : Current site is not a tenant administration site.
For the “Current site is not a tenant administration site” error message, which may look like following:
Connect-SPOService : Current site is not a tenant administration site.
At line:1 char:1
+ Connect-SPOService -Url https://mysite.sharepoint.com -Credential $credentials
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Connect-SPOService], ServerException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerException,Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell.Con
nectSPOService
You get this error because you’re not entering the URL for your “Sharepoint Online Administration Center” site… Which is typically your normal sharepoint online URL, but then with a -admin after it, such as:
https://mysite-admin.sharepoint.com (assuming that your sharepoint online site is https://mysite.sharepoint.com). Therefore, then whole Powershell script would be:
Connect-SPOService -Url https://mysite-admin.sharepoint.com -credential username@mysharepointsite.com
Encourage Author, Please share on Twitter!! – Just one Click Tribute!
NOTE: The -admin site is setup automatically. You don’t have to do anything. Just type in your sitename and then add the -admin.sharepoint.com to the end and you’ll be prompted to log in.
Configure Windows PowerShell to Connect with O356
Configuring Widnows PoserShell to be used with O365 is few steps process. To successfully run the Connect-MsolService PowerShell command, you need to:
- Find out what bitness your operating system is (x86 / 32-bit OR x64 / 64-bit). See Microsoft’s “Is my PC running the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows?” article for help.
- If necessary, install the appropriate bitness version of PowerShell 3.0
Note 1:Windows6.0is Windows Vista andWindows6.1is Windows 7
Note 2: If you get a message of “The update is not applicable to your computer.” during the install then either you downloaded the wrong version of you already have it installed - Install the appropriate bitness version of the Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant for IT Professionals
- Install the appropriate bitness version of the Windows Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell
Note: If you get an error of “In order to install Windows Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell, you must have Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant version 7.0 or greater installed on this computer.” and a resulting failed install, install the Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant for IT Professionals BETA (you shouldn’t need to uninstall the normal version but I would recommend it). - Run the appropriate bitness version of PowerShell
- Run the
Import-Module MSOnlinePowerShell command - Finally, run the
Connect-MsolServicePowerShell command
Note: When I say “the appropriate bitness version” I mean to use 64-bit if available.
Once gone through above steps seuccessfully, Run the cmdlet Get-Module and you should see list of all imported modules along with MsOnline module. As shown below:
