HOW TO USE AGAINST OFFICE 365

A build script will copy the required files to a folder in your users folder, called: C:\Users<YourUserName>\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\OfficeDevPnP.PowerShell.Commands

This will automatically load the module after starting PowerShell 3.0. To use the library you first need to connect to your tenant:

Connect-SPOnline –Url https://yoursite.sharepoint.com –Credentials (Get-Credential)

In case of an unattended script you might want to add a new entry in your credential manager of windows.

Select Windows Credentials and add a new generic credential:

Now you can use this entry to connect to your tenant as follows:

Connect-SPOnline –Url https://yoursite.sharepoint.com –Credentials yourlabel
