Some of you may have noticed my recent posts on some questions in the forum. Here’s another one… 🙂
I’m trying to create some deployment scripts using PowerShell. I’m able to connect to my tenant but am not able to do much with it afterwards. Any thoughts?
Add-Type -Path “C:\dll\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll”
Add-Type -Path “C:\dll\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll”
Add-Type -Path “C:\dll\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Taxonomy.dll”
$tenantAdmin = “https://tenant-admin.sharepoint.com”
$tenantRoot = “https://tenant.sharepoint.com”
$adminUser = “haniel@tenant.onmicrosoft.com”
$password = “password”
　
$securePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString $password -AsPlainText -Force
$credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($adminUser, $securePassword)
$ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($tenantRoot)
$ctx.Credentials = $credentials
$webs = $ctx.Web
$ctx.Web or other objects I’m trying to access come back as null. Any thoughts?
I would be inclined to suggest that Haniel is trying to run your script on his own machine and not on a SharePoint Server – which your script would require as it is using the Snapin Module for SharePoint Server
