此计算机上未安装PSSnapin Microsoft.Sharepoint.Powershell

Question

When I try to run the command Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell in SharePoint Online Management Shell

I get the following error:

Add-PSSnapin : The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell` is not installed on this computer

+ CategoryInfo: InvalidArgument: (Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell:string) [Add-PSSnapin], PSArgumentException

From what I understand this is supposed to come installed with SharePoint Online Management Shell anyway (this is a fresh download) so why won't it let me install it

I can login to Sharepoint using the $AdminURL, $AdminName & $Password so it's not the end of the world (and proves that this should work), but obviously makes the script less easy to run across sites as it has to be modified everytime to change the url and adminname

EDIT: I read on another post that adding this module (not snapin) would fix my issue of the error Get-SPSite is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program and Get-SPWebApplication is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program However, this did not fix my problem...

Answer 1

As mentioned by user @kuzimoto the commands I was using were not compatible with SharePoint Online and were designed to be used in conjunction with SharePoint Server.

The correct way to connect is using the command Connect-SPOService and passing through the credentials through there or just have them hard coded into your script.
