@smiddles Thanks for bringing this to our attention. What would your expectation be for the edit to the script? Would you expect a parameter for client ID or something else?

[smiddles]

Thanks Derek. Adding a variable declaration at the top for the ClientID, which is then applied in the instances of Connect-PnPOnline if declared?

Does the new ClientID variable fix this issue? Still getting this error.

[dcashpeterson]

@badwolf904 If you have a copy of the script downloaded you can add the -ClientId property and value to the script with your organizations app registration ID. The URL in the error you recieved tells you how to do that if it is not already done. I have not had a chance to make the Client Id a property on the script yet.

[badwolf904]

Do you know specifically where it needs to go in the script? I tried unsuccessfully. If not I'll wait for your edit :)

[dcashpeterson]

@badwolf904 you add it anywhere you see PnP.PowerShell\Connect-PnPOnline however, if you are not comfortable with PowerShell I would not make the change yourself. This is a moderately complex script and if you change the wrong thing it might not work correctly.
