For many months now, I’ve been getting our favorite kind of error – a sporadic one – when I am running PnP PowerShell which loops through the same code many times. The errors look something like this: format-default : The collection has not been initialized. It has not been requested or the request has not…
Last week, I wrote a post about using Invoke-SPOSiteSwap to swap a new modern site into the root site of our Sympraxis tenant. While it worked just great, there were some follow on issues I wanted to document in case you might run into them, too. Nothing horrible, but a bit of required cleanup. The…
Things we used to think of as miracles happen almost every week in Office 365. The latest thing that impressed me is the ability to swap an existing site into the root site of your tenant using the Invoke-SPOSiteSwap PowerShell cmdlet. The Sympraxis tenant has been around since practically the old BPOS days, so the…
This is more a Todd Klindt (@ToddKlindt) post than a me post, but hey – he was on vacation. I was trying to run some PowerShell on my new-ish tenant and was getting an error Todd and I had worked past before. Just a simple: …was giving me an error like this: Connect-PnPOnline : For…
It’s great to see the Hub Sites promised at Ignite last fall rolling out finally. Hub Sites will be the capability which allows us to associate related “modern” sites with each other.

Last week, Vesa Juvonen (@vesajuvonen) released a script (New Script Available from Microsoft PnP: Generate…
As I wrote on Monday, the decision to begin removing already deprecated code-based sandbox solutions on SharePoint Online took many people by surprise. Even though the news about the deprecation has been out there since 2014, the abrupt move – especially during a time when many people are on summer vacation – caused consternation for some….
I ran into an odd situation the other day at one of my clients. When people edited existing list or library items in *some* lists (we couldn’t discern a pattern) the Modified By (Editor) column value did not change. The date/time stamp (Modified) was updated, but not the person who made the modification. We found…
I had another situation today where the portability issues between Office365 and an on premises installation reared its ugly head. This is the reverse situation from the issues I had a while ago trying to move my demo sites from my VM to SharePoint Online. Last week, I shared a WSP containing some of my…
Well, it took me a while, but I solve this problem. In my first post about it, I explained how I was having trouble figuring out what features installed in my local VM were causing the problems instantiating my demo site in Office365 – SharePoint Online. I got stuck with the feature that has the…
