Hi All,

Greetings for the day!

Today new issue and solution!

Background

• I want to execute few SharePoint Online PowerShell CMDLETs.
• To execute SharePoint Online PowerShell CMDLETs, I was importing SharePoint Online PowerShell module – Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell using Import-Module CMDLET

Import-Module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell

• While executing above CMDLET we were getting an error.

Error

Import-Module: Could not load type ‘Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.TenantAdministration.OptInReportEntityEnum’ from assembly ‘Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.Client.Tenant, Version=16.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c’.

Solution

• After bit googling found simple steps.
• Uninstall the module and install again.
• Uninstalling the module

Uninstall-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell -AllVersions

• Once module uninstalled successfully, we will install the module again.

Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell

• As SharePoint Online PowerShell module installed successfully, we are able to import the module successfully as shown in figure below
