Default Home Site command not working

Question

I am attempting to configure my Viva Connections home site away from the new Viva Connections home experience to a selected SharePoint communication site.

I have tried using the following command - Set-SPOHomeSite -HomeSiteUrl "SP site URL" -VivaConnectionsDefaultStart $true

I tried running this on a couple of tenant environments however I am experiencing the same error with the latest SharePoint Online Management Shell.

Any help here would be much appreciated, thanks.

Hi David,

I had the same issue today, I installed the latest version of SharePoint Online Management Shell but was still getting the same error.

I tried so many ways but finally, I decided to open Windows PowerShell ISE as an admin and install the SharePoint Module there:

Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell -Force

After that, It started working.

Give it a try and hopefully, it works for you too.

Regards,

Amir

Please try below PowerShell to set the home site as the provided site collection URL and keeps the Viva Connections landing experience to the SharePoint home site.

Set-SPOHomeSite -HomeSiteUrl "https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/testsite" -VivaConnectionsDefaultStart:$true
