From YouTube: Getting started with SharePoint Online Management Shell

Description

How to get started with the SharePoint Online Management Shell. The video shows where to download the PowerShell cmdlets, how to connect to SharePoint Online and where to get additional details on available cmdlets.

September 2018 version.

A

Hello in this video we'll have a look on how to get started with SharePoint Online Management, shell ake, a sharepoint online admin, powershell commandlets now, starting from September 2018.

A

These powershell commandlets are also available from the powershell gallery and we from Microsoft will keep on evolving and updating their them in the PowerShell gallery as well, and that's why we actually created this new video showing how to get started. So, if you don't have access in your computer, if your computer is not online or it's it's in an offline user, you can still download the MSI in future also from SharePoint, sorry from Microsoft download.

A

So if you go to the Microsoft Download and we look for SharePoint Online Management shell, you can actually see the latest version always available from here in multiple different languages. Now, if you, however, have a new operating system, Windows, 10 or can't remember- which of the servers is supporting that? Well, it's in the PowerShell 5 forward. You can actually use PowerShell gallery to get the Microsoft online share. Pod PowerShell installed to your machine, and this is much more convenient. It's much faster.

A

You can easily update your module just by running an update command after the module has been, but after there's a new version available in the PowerShell gallery, so you don't have to in MSI option and you always needed to uninstall the previous version from a machine and then download a new version and install done using the PowerShell camera option. You can just run install module, commands in admin mode or upgrade or update from comments, and you can actually update those comment lights whenever there's a new version available.

A

Now we're recording this right after this one's actually live. So nobody actually has. So we get aware that Microsoft, online, sharepoint, powershell and module is available, but that's the reason why there's only 12 downloads now how do I actually get started on this one? So let's actually copy this one. Let's move into our PowerShell session. Please note you have to be in the administer administrator sessions. I need to open the PowerShell in an admin mode, so you're able to install the module two, the operating system.

A

So you need to be an administrator in the computer, where you're, adding these things. I'm gonna paste in and that command so I'm going to run, install module, name, Microsoft online, SharePoint, PowerShell, let's press ENTER and that's gonna, then download the latest version from the powershell gallery and installing that directly to this computer, the the installation doesn't actually take that one. It's a super fast operation, as you can see, and immediately when that's actually done. The module is then available within this computer, which is super super cool.

A

So now as fast as that, I can then go connect SPO service and, let's actually connect to an address. In my case, I'm gonna connect to a walnut on my name: let's go to SP PMP admin SharePoint come because it is a SharePoint Online PowerShell shape and on a management power shall be always connected to admin URL and when I connect there, it's gonna now open up the sign in Logan.

A

So let me actually excite in there we go, and this is because I didn't provide any credential information to the connect SPO service, and this also supports multi-factor authentication so signing in and let's actually provide password for that account and for that tenon and after this we are connected to the SharePoint, Online and tenon and were able to do something like get SPO tenant command and that's gonna then list the settings of the particular tenant or were able to adjust settings or create site collections and do whatever is actually needed now, obviously the to comment, let's all of the operations undocumented.

A

So if you go to the docs at microsoft.com, slash SharePoint in here doctors Microsoft that comes last SharePoint. You are able to find the powershell reference for sharepoint links in here. If I click this one you'll then land on the sharepoint powershell listening and in here you can actually find overview. Sharepoint server, commandlets sharepoint online per month. Let's and pnp comment light, so in this case we're talking about shape on time and powershell powershell, so we're gonna go here.

A

Share Michelle and this bait will then have exactly the same guidance to get started as within this video as well for the actual comment. Let's and you can always go to the reference and I can extend SharePoint Online and, for example, get SPO. Let's say as what would be a get SPO site. I can see the different option in this documentation and we can see how it works and what has to happen so pretty neat a nice list of include documentation available for all of the powershell commandlets using the power show of gallery.

A

You can really really really easily then update, and these commands. You can really easily learn how to use the well start using the commands. You can update the commands and you can easily check if there's a new version available from the commands as well, if you're not familiar with PowerShell gallery, there's plenty of documentation available on that one and what kind of commands are available for installing and updating and deleting those modules from your computer, but I think that's it for this one. So super cool sharepoint run our management shell now available.

A

Also in the sharepoint tour in the powershell calorie and you can just easily install that by running install module name, a Microsoft online SharePoint PowerShell in the powershell session in admin mode, and you are good to go for using SharePoint Online PowerShell. Thank you.
