Get-SPOProvisioningTemplate command fails with an error about pnp-powershell

[erwinvanhunen]

Which version of the cmdlets have you installed? Try the latest version, as available in https://github.com/officedev/pnp-powershell/releases.

I am also getting an error running the same command. I am running against an On-premise team site so have installed the "15" binaries. Is there something else I need to install? I've definitely connected because the Get-SPOWeb command returns the web.

Looks like I might need to update to Dec 2014 CU.

[lancegosby]

I'm still having issues. I've posted the question on Yammer.

Hi Lance,

Make sure that if you have the latest CSOM assemblies, that you only have -one- version of them available on your machine. If you have them in the GAC, those will always 'win', even if you put the latest assemblies in the same folder as the powershell assemblies.

I had just installed the powershell '15' msi. Now that I've installed the client SDK on my workstation and the command runs a bit further.

Now it has a different error:
Get-SPOProvisioningTemplate : Cannot find stub for type with id "{1554af8c-7213-418c-a4a8-b06e7603c68a}". The specified server may not support APIs used in this operation.

Do you know what CU version I need to be running on the server? I have Dec 2014 CU.

[erwinvanhunen]

We support at, as a minimum, the March 2015 CU.

I missing the Parameters for the function Get-SpoProvisioningTemplate with the actual Relase 1.7 when i go back to Reales 1.6 are all okay.

[erwinvanhunen]

Which parameters are you missing? All of them?

[Campergue]

Yes all of them and here the error message when I try to still use an parameter. To example the -Out

[Campergue]

and here a screenshot from the .dll where powershell loaded with the Product Version

[erwinvanhunen]

Right! That error message is due to a certain DLL (System.Management.Automation.dll) not being available with the right version on the computer where you installed the cmdlets. We fixed this in the current dev branch and it will be available in the next build we are releasing soon. I advice you, for now, to stay with the version of the cmdlets that work for you. Alternatively, download the latest dev branch of the powershell cmdlets and build the new version yourself, or install the latest PowerShell SDK from https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff458115(v=vs.85).aspx
