Office 365 – SharePoint – Set-SPOSite : Property set method not found.

To enable scripting in Office 365 used to be quite simple. In the SharePoint Admin center simply select the following options:

Then run the following PowerShell command:

[code lang=text]
Connect-SPOService -Url https:/ /mytenant-admin.sharepoint.com
Set-SPOSite -Identity https:/ /mytenant.sharepoint.com -DenyAddAndCustomizePages 0
[/code]

And all is done.

Earlier this week I found that this doesn’t seem to work anymore. PowerShell now returns:

[code lang=text]
Set-SPOSite : Property set method not found.
[/code]

I’ve now seen this on multiple tenants. It looks like we have to wait up to 24 hour again.

17/05/2016 – Update: this seems to be fixed as the above commands are now working again!
