Team created without SharePoint site

Question

Team created without SharePoint site

Hamza Jouini 70

When creating a Microsoft Team using the Microsoft Graph API, the associated Microsoft 365 Group is successfully created, and the Team appears correctly. However, the SharePoint site (and the default document library/drive) is not always provisioned automatically. This results in persistent 404 Not Found errors when attempting to access the Sharepoint/Teams enpoints

/teams/{team-id}/channels/{channel-id}/filesFolder

/groups/{group-id}/drives
 
/groups/{group-id}/drive

/groups/{group-id}/drive/root

Details (ResourceNotFound): Resource is not found

endpoint — even after implementing long timeouts ( really long ) and multiple retries. The issue appears to be isolated to two specific organizations. In those tenants, the problem occurs consistently: the Teams are created, but the SharePoint backend is missing. I’ve also tested this manually — the Files tab within Teams shows nothing, and while the SharePoint site is visible in the admin portal, attempting to access it leads to a “Request Access” page. In contrast, this issue does not occur in other client organizations, where the SharePoint site is provisioned automatically and immediately usable.

For one of these organizations the issue started with old teams where

/groups/{group-id}/drive/root

starting returning 404 while /drives endpoint returns the drives correctly

i don't know what's happening here, also the copyNotebook and copy endpoints from other sharepoint files to the new team starting returning

Details (20160): No modern group was found that matches the ID {id}

and obviously the group exists by the site doesn't.
any help on this thanks

And I thought I was going crazy. This also happens when trying to create a teams via the Teams app or the Teams administration center. A site gets created but not linked to the teams (teams icon missing in Sharepoint Admin Center)

We have exactly the same issue. Ticket with microsoft, but there are not able to find a resolution.

Created a new team site, files and notebook not possible. on the communication site it`s working. But new team sites not.

when you start the teams web version, it tells you that is setting things up. Every time you open it.

tenant is created 10 days ago.

any suggestions?

same issue here on one tenant where the Teams channel is creating a SharePoint site but not all of it like the General Channel folder so there is no link between Teams and SharePoint.

on another tenant everything works fine.

tested several teams over a period of 2 days and keeps failing.

Same issue reported in separate case.

exact same issue here on our tenant. We create new Teams from a Power Automate flow with action “Create a team”. The flows runs successful without errors, but since one week there is no access to SharePoint site from the newly created Teams. In Shared Documents the default folder “General” is missing (there is no folder at all) and OneNote is also not accessible.

Update on my end: got acknowledgement from MS that there is an issue, also seeing the issue reported in the Service Status of the admin center now: TM1074644.

Waiting a bit for an update on that issue status before trying to create new Teams.

Upvoting in hopes of getting more visibility.

We are having the same problem since this week, i have reported this yesterday and today as a 'problem' throught he admin center, however both times the investigations have been closed.

The service tickets i've launched yesterday and today are also not being picked up.

When using the Teams Web client using the dev tools we can see that the Files tab fails to determine the underlying SharePointLibrary, to add we also noticed errors before this one on the ms graph endpoint: /groups/{groupid}/sites/root

Which makes it seem like groups are being created, and sites are being created but their link is somehow not being properly made.

It's starting to be fixed on our tenant now.

Yesterday it was still a no go, today new Teams are able to show the Files tab, although it sometimes still takes a lot longer / until we force Teams to open the 'choose an attachement' dialog.

Older Teams that had the issue weren't working yet, we stopped creating Teams once we noticed the issue so that's not really an active issue for us, I am now deleting all my tests and restarting the creation of Teams in our environment.

Forgetting that not all tenants are English was a bit silly though.
