SPSite for Sharepoint Online

newbie question,

I have an office 365 E4 plan in the office and have been playing around with SharePoint.

I reached a point where i need to code a few things.

Can i use powershell and SPSite to connect to SharePoint online, ie not a local farm.

I have successful used SPOSite but cant seem to be able to use SPSite.

thanks, Alex

Solution

  • The short version is no, you can't. The "O" in "SPO" is for "Online". The SPO- family of cmdlets are for SharePoint Online, and not all the same functionality is exposed in the online version as on-premises.

    Often, however, there are alternatives depending on the specific scenario you're trying to enable.
