Office 365: How to add a new Office 365 Group to an existing SPO Site (I)!

As announced in this post in the Microsoft Tech Community, the ability to add a new Office 365 Group to an existing SharePoint Online (SPO) site is finally coming to Office 365:

• As an example, let’s start with an existing SPO classic site:

• Open your favorite PowerShell tool (Note: Be sure to previously update your SPO Management Shell installation with the latest version available) and execute the following PowerShell sequence:

$sUserName="<Office365_User>@<Office365_Domain>.onmicrosoft.com"
$sMessage="Type your Office 365 Credentials"
$sSPOAdminCenterUrl="https://<Office365_Domain>-admin.sharepoint.com"
$sClassicSPOSite="https://<Office365_Domain>.sharepoint.com/sites/<Site_Name>/"
$O365Cred=Get-Credential -UserName $sUserName -Message $sMessage
Connect-SPOService -Url $sSPOAdminCenterUrl -Credential $O365Cred
$sGroupDisplayName="<Group Display Name>"
$sGroupAlias="<GroupAlias>"
Set-SPOSiteOffice365Group -Site $sClassicSPOSite -DisplayName $sGroupDisplayName -Alias $sGroupAlias -IsPublic $true

• Once above PowerShell sequence is executed, just check the new Office 365 Group has been provisioned and also the following elements: a new modern home page for the SPO site, an EXO mailbox and a Planner Plan.

Office 365: Como añadir un Grupo de Office 365 a un sitio existente de SPO (I)!

Tal y como ha anunciado Microsoft en este post de la Microsoft Tech Community, por fin empezamos a tener disponible la posibilidad de añadir un nuevo grupo de Office 365 a un sitio de SharePoint Online (SPO) existente:

• Partimos de un sitio clásico existente en nuestro tenant de SPO:

• Abrimos nuestro entorno de PowerShell favorito (Nota: Previamente nos habremos instalado la última versión del SharePoint Online Management Shell) y ejecutamos la siguiente secuencia de PowerShell:

$sUserName="<Office365_User>@<Office365_Domain>.onmicrosoft.com"
$sMessage="Type your Office 365 Credentials"
$sSPOAdminCenterUrl="https://<Office365_Domain>-admin.sharepoint.com"
$sClassicSPOSite="https://<Office365_Domain>.sharepoint.com/sites/<Site_Name>/"
$O365Cred=Get-Credential -UserName $sUserName -Message $sMessage
Connect-SPOService -Url $sSPOAdminCenterUrl -Credential $O365Cred
$sGroupDisplayName="<Group Display Name>"
$sGroupAlias="<GroupAlias>"
Set-SPOSiteOffice365Group -Site $sClassicSPOSite -DisplayName $sGroupDisplayName -Alias $sGroupAlias -IsPublic $true

• Una vez se ejecuta el comando, comprobamos que se ha añadido un nuevo Grupo de Office 365 vinculado al sitio, que hay una nueva página principal moderna para el sitio, se ha creado el buzón del sitio, etc.
