How To Run CSOM-EnumerateSiteUrls.ps1

1. Launch a Windows Powershell window and Run As Administrator. 

Note: Do NOT launch SharePoint Online Management Shell window!  Do NOT execute any Connect-SPOService cmdlet!  Otherwise, script will fail with the error... 'New-Object : Cannot find an overload for "KeywordQuery" and the argument count: "1"'

2. Change directory to location of the PowerShell script.

3. Execute the PowerShell script.

.\CSOM-EnumerateSiteUrls.ps1

4. Script prompts to supply value for MySiteHostURL parameter value. Supply value similar to following, where "<tenant>" is your Office 365 tenant (example, "contoso").

https://<tenant>-my.sharepoint.com

5. Script prompts to supply value for Adminlogin. Specify a Global Administrator account for your tenant.

admin@<tenant>.onmicrosoft.com

6. Script prompts to "Please enter your password" for <Adminlogin>.  Type password for the Global Admin account specified as Adminlogin parameter. Then press Enter.
