Describe the bug / error
I'm currently trying to get started with Sharepoint Embedded (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/embedded/mslearn/m02-03-hol). To be able to follow this guide, I joined the Microsoft developer program (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/dev-program) and tried to connect to the environment created by the assistant there.
I could find the there described option to enable Sharepoint Embedded, but when I tried to create the container type, I should run the command Connect-SPOService which errored by giving me an error message I could not find out what to do next:
Connect-SPOService: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
As of what I've found online, there seems to be some error in the script provided by this package. I'd love to be able to have a look at the code which you run here, but this doesn't seem to be open source ...
Steps to reproduce
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShellImport-Module "Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell"Connect-SPOService -Url "https://******-admin.sharepoint.com"
Expected behavior
Based on the documentation, I should be prompted for my credentials, but I wasn't. I tried to add some parameters, as described in the documentation of the script (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/sharepoint-online/connect-sposervice?view=sharepoint-ps). Adding the parameter -credential, as shown in the first example, I was first prompted for my password, but the application then stopped with the same error, after I entered the password.
