I am using the PowerShell script mentioned here: http://www.sharepointdiary.com/2016/11/sharepoint-online-import-terms-to-termset-using-powershell.html to update the term store values and its working perfectly.
However, I need to schedule this Powershell to run through task scheduler so that it can run every hour. For this reason, I want to hard-code credentials that connects to SPOnline. But for some reason I am seeing below error.
I tried to make below change in Powershell to hard-code credentials:
#Load SharePoint CSOM Assemblies Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll" Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll" Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Taxonomy.dll" #Variables for Processing $ AdminURL = "https://abc-admin.sharepoint.com/" $ TermGroupName= "Site Collection - abc.sharepoint.com-sites-123site" $ TermSetName="Due Diligence" $ CSVFile ="C:\Users\dm123\Downloads\TermStore.csv" $ TermHeaderInCSV ="Due Diligence" Try { #Get Credentials to connect $ Username = "123@abc.com" $ Password ="LE$ b1yuio$ !." $ Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($ Username, $ Password) #Setup the context $ Ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($ AdminURL) $ Ctx.Credentials = $ Credentials #Get the term store $ TaxonomySession=[Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Taxonomy.TaxonomySession]::GetTaxonomySession($ Ctx) $ TaxonomySession.UpdateCache() $ TermStore =$ TaxonomySession.GetDefaultSiteCollectionTermStore() $ Ctx.Load($ TaxonomySession) $ Ctx.Load($ TermStore) $ Ctx.ExecuteQuery() #Get Termstore data from CSV and iterate through each row Import-Csv $ CSVFile | ForEach-Object { #Get the Term Group $ TermGroup=$ TermStore.Groups.GetByName($ TermGroupName) #Get the term set $ TermSet = $ TermGroup.TermSets.GetByName($ TermSetName) #CSV File Header Row in Term to Add $ TermName = $ _.$ ($ TermHeaderInCSV) #Check if the given term exists already $ Terms = $ TermSet.Terms $ Ctx.Load($ Terms) $ Ctx.ExecuteQuery() $ Term = $ Terms | Where-Object {$ _.Name -eq $ TermName} If(-not $ Term) { #Create Term Set Write-host "Creating Term '$ TermName'" -ForegroundColor Cyan $ Term = $ TermSet.CreateTerm($ TermName,1033,[System.Guid]::NewGuid().toString()) $ Ctx.Load($ Term) $ Ctx.ExecuteQuery() $ Term.TermStore.CommitAll() $ TaxonomySession.UpdateCache() Write-host "New Term '$ TermName' Added Successfully!" -ForegroundColor Green } else { Write-host "Term '$ TermName' Exists Already!" -ForegroundColor Yellow } } } Catch { write-host -f Red "Error Importing Term store Data!" $ _.Exception.Message } Can someone please help me resolve the error, I simply need to hard-code the credentials. Thanks in advance.
