Answer 1

The below Powershell script will send the request to SharePoint and your site will be created. Running the script won’t yield any output.

Add-Type -Path "c:\folder\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll"

Add-Type -Path "c:\folder\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll"

$siteUrl = “https://mytenant.sharepoint.com/sites/mysitecollection”

$username = "[email protected]"

$password = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter password" -AsSecureString

$ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($siteUrl)

$credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($username, $password)

$ctx.Credentials = $credentials

$webCreationInformation = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.WebCreationInformation

$webCreationInformation.Url = "site1"

$webCreationInformation.Title = "Site 1"

$webCreationInformation.WebTemplate = "STS#0"

$newWeb = $ctx.Web.Webs.Add($webCreationInformation)

$ctx.Load($newWeb)

$ctx.ExecuteQuery()

$newWeb

Write-Host "Title" $newWeb.Title
