[Bug] Current site is not a tenant administration site

[llgjermeni]

Hello,

We have updated the module SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline with PnP.PowerShell. Deploying to SharePoint using AzureADAppOnly authentication.

PowerShell version: 7.4.6

In the command:
Connect-PnPOnline -CertificatePath $certificatePath -ClientId $appId -Url $url -Tenant "tenant.com" -ErrorAction Stop -ValidateConnection -Verbose
getting the error in pipeline ( yaml pipeline in Azure DevOps):

pwsh Error: 0 : 2024-10-31 11:26:20.4377	[PnP.Framework]	[0]	[Error]	ExecuteQuery threw following exception: Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerException: Current site is not a tenant administration site.

Running the same command locally we have the same error.

The strange thing is, that it is connected and actually applying the changes.

Kind regards,
