Accessing SharePoint team site using Powershell

Question

Hi,

We are trying to automate importing files from a remote server into Sharepoint List using Powershell. I found some tutorials regarding how to connect to Sharepoint in this site https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/sharepoint/sharepoint-online/connect-sharepoint-online?view=sharepoint-ps.

The site indicates using the following command to connect to sharepoint.
Connect-SPOService -Url https://<tenant>-admin.sharepoint.com

Our Sharepoint URL however is in the following format [https://ts.mydomain.com/sites/<site-name>]. When I try to use our URL in the command I'm getting an error indicate below:

Connect-SPOService : Current site is not a tenant administration site.

How can I connect to our Sharepoint site using powershell?
Am I using a different version of Sharepoint?

Thank You

Hi @Catorce, Jaz
You could get your admin center url by following steps

1. Go to the Office 365 Admin center, https://admin.microsoft.com/.
2. From the left navigation, click on Show All >> Expand Admin centers, and then select SharePoint
   
3. Then you will go to your SharePoint admin center and you can get the url of your tenant. The following pic is the admin center of which format is https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com. Yours might be different. And you can Connect-SPOService with the url in your admin center.
