Description

The New-SPOSite cmdlet creates a new site collection for the current company. However, creating a new SharePoint Online site collection fails if a deleted site with the same URL exists in the Recycle Bin.

You must be at least a SharePoint Online administrator to run the cmdlet.

For permissions and the most current information about Windows PowerShell for SharePoint Online, see the online documentation at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=251832.

Examples

-----------------------EXAMPLE 1-----------------------------

New-SPOSite -Url https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/mynewsite -Owner [email protected] -StorageQuota 1000 -Title "My new site collection"

Example 1 creates a new site collection for the current company with specified site URL, title and owner. The storage quota is set to 1000 megabytes.

-----------------------EXAMPLE 2-----------------------------

New-SPOSite -Url https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/mynewsite -Owner [email protected] -StorageQuota 1000 -CompatibilityLevel 15 -LocaleID 1033 -ResourceQuota 300 -Template "STS#0" -TimeZoneId 13 -Title "My new site collection"

Example 2 creates a new site collection for the current company with specified site URL, title, owner and template. The storage quota is set to 1000 megabytes and the resource quota is set to 300 megabytes. The template compatibility level is set to 15 which means that the site collection only supports the SharePoint 2013 template. The language is set to English - United States (LocaleID = 1033) and the time zone is set to (GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US and Canada) (TimeZone = 13).

-----------------------EXAMPLE 3-----------------------------

New-SPOSite -Url https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/accounting -Owner [email protected] -StorageQuota 100 -NoWait -ResourceQuota 50 -Template STS#0

Example 3 creates a new site collection for the current company with specified site URL, owner and template. The storage quota is set to 100 megabytes and the resource quota is set to 50 megabytes. This cmdlet is executed immediately without delay.
