Provisioning Teams site and Teams

[SPLeon]

Hi there,

I just started with the PnP Provisioning schema. For a customer I need to built a template which contains a site collection and a team (which is obviously connected to this site).

It's necessary to run it without a logged in user as we gonna move it to Azure DevOps. So I created an app registration with a certificate and Api permissions:

• Microsoft Graph: Directory.ReadWriteAll, Group.Create, Group.ReadWrite.All, GroupMember.ReadWriteAll, Sites.FullControll.All, Sites.Manage.All, Sites.ReadWrite.All, Teams.Create, TeamMember.ReadWrite.All, User.Read
• SharePoint: Sites.FullControl.All Sites.Manage.All Sites.ReadWriteAll.

The site is created but it stops with an exception. The site is however created with wrong settings (language incorrect, no additional owners, etc.) The error (Get-PnPException):

Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Stacktrace : at PnP.Framework.Graph.UnifiedGroupsUtility.<UpdateMembers>d__5.MoveNext() --- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown --- at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw() at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) at PnP.Framework.Graph.UnifiedGroupsUtility.<>c__DisplayClass19_0.<<AddUnifiedGroupMembers>b__0>d .MoveNext() --- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown --- at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw() at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) at PnP.Framework.Graph.UnifiedGroupsUtility.AddUnifiedGroupMembers(String groupId, String[] membe rs, String accessToken, Boolean removeExistingMembers, Int32 retryCount, Int32 delay, AzureEnvironme nt azureEnvironment) at PnP.Framework.Sites.SiteCollection.<CreateTeamSiteViaGraphAsync>d__7.MoveNext() --- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown --- at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw() at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) at PnP.Framework.Sites.SiteCollection.<CreateAsync>d__5.MoveNext() --- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown --- at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw() at PnP.Framework.Provisioning.ObjectHandlers.ObjectHierarchySequenceSites.ProvisionObjects(Tenant tenant, ProvisioningHierarchy hierarchy, String sequenceId, TokenParser tokenParser, ApplyConfigura tion configuration) at PnP.Framework.Provisioning.ObjectHandlers.SiteToTemplateConversion.ApplyTenantTemplate(Tenant tenant, ProvisioningHierarchy hierarchy, String sequenceId, ApplyConfiguration configuration) at PnP.PowerShell.Commands.Provisioning.Tenant.InvokeTenantTemplate.ExecuteCmdlet() at PnP.PowerShell.Commands.PnPSharePointCmdlet.ProcessRecord()

I already did come investigation. Here are some findings:

• When I execute the same with Connect-PnPOnline -Interactive it works. This is obviously as i'm using a global admin
• When I first create the site with New-PnPSite and then invoke the template it also works.
• When It fails the first time, I add the owner at group-level, invoke it again, it works.

I personally think is had something to do with the Graph Api, but I cannot find anything.

The template (I removed the parameters and header of the file as its not relevant)
