[BUG] There is an issue in pnp framework that if it is in an app-only context and we have the access token, then it uses Microsoft Graph, but it ignores PreferredDataLocation at CreateTeamSiteViaGraphAsync

Bug

Expected behavior

Site created within the correct Geo Tenant

Actual behavior

Site created in home tenant

Steps to reproduce behavior

reating a site with a preferredDataLocation usign REST works

Connect-PnPOnline -Url <admin site url> -ClientId <ClientId> -Tenant <tenantid> -Thumbprint <Thumbprint>

$accessToken = Get-PnPGraphAccessToken 
$header = @{ Authorization = "Bearer $($accessToken)"}         

$uri = https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups

$body = @{"displayName"="Test"; 
          "mailEnabled"=$false; 
          "groupTypes"=@("Unified"); 
          "securityEnabled"=$false; 
          "mailNickname"="ps1";
          "preferredDataLocation"="NAM"
    } | ConvertTo-Json

$response = Invoke-RestMethod –Uri $uri –Headers $header –Method Post –ContentType "application/json" -Body $body

Using New-PnPSite with an account works but using New-PnPSite with an App ID does not create site in GEO tenant even by connecting to GEO tenant and/or using -PreferredDataLocation

It seems that PreferredDataLocation is ignored in CreateTeamSiteViaGraphAsync

Also, it seems that the PreferredDataLocation parameter disappear at some point

@svermaak / @gautamdsheth / @erwinvanhunen : the PDL is indeed not passed along the PnP Framework API calls. Something that can be fixed...adding this to our backlog as we're swamped with work, if you would be able to create a PR that would speed up the delivery of this.

[gautamdsheth]

@jansenbe - working on it :)

@svermaak : this has been fixed for PnP Framework. @gautamdsheth can let you know if there's additional work needed in PS, if not this should now work with the next set of nightly releases we create
