[muges01]

Hi Everyone,

I have newly installed SharePoint Online Management Shell (SharePointOnlineManagementShell_7521-1200_x64_en-us) on a windows 10 machine.

When i tried to run the 'Connect-SPOService -Url $adminUrl -Credential $credentials' I'm getting 'Root element is missing' error.

Expected or Desired Behavior

When I ran the following command, I expect to connect to my SharePoint online tenant.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install the SharePointOnlineManagementShell_7521-1200_x64_en-us
2. Open the SharePoint Online Managemnet Shell as administrator
3. Run the following commands
   $adminUrl = "https://{domain}-admin.sharepoint.com" $userName = "admin@{domain}.onmicrosoft.com" $password = Read-Host "Please enter the password for $($userName)" –AsSecureString $credentials = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $userName, $password Connect-SPOService -Url $adminUrl -Credential $credentials

What am I missing? Any guidance to resolve this issue is appreciated.

Thank you In advance

As this is around SharePoint Online PowerShell, we would appreciate if you'd create this to the right repository, since this is not really about the development topics. The right location would be https://github.com/microsoftDocs/office-docs-powershell. Thx.
