Site Url is not properly formed in Powershell?

Question

Tuesday, July 22, 2014 10:07 AM

Hi,

I've been trying to add files to a site on SharePoint Online via PowerShell

$SiteUrl = Get-SPOSite https://company.sharepoint.com/site1

However, every time i run the script i get this error:

Get-SPOSite : The site https://company.sharepoint.com/site1 is not properly formed.

I have connected to sharepoint with the Connect-SPOService command correctly.

What is wrong with the url?
Thanks

Hello,

As mentionned by Brian, you should use the "identity" parameter

Hi

I have the same query but even after i use -Identity i get the same error, below is my code

[DBG]: PS C:\Users\kumar.akshat\Downloads\Paru\Scripts_FindSharePointOnlineSiteDetails\Scripts_FindSharePointOnlineSiteDetails>> Get-SPOSite -Identity $website.Url
Get-SPOSite : The site https://home500.sharepoint.com/Office365Learning is not properly formed.

value of

$website.Url = https://home500.sharepoint.com/Office365Learning

I have observed that sites having /sites/ after their tenant can only be recognized as per below result

Url                                                               Owner                              Storage Quota

Make sure you first use Get-SPOSite to make sure the site you are trying to connect to is in there. For me I was trying connecting to site that I thought was off my root SC but it was not.
