Hi @Khadija Ewonye Yakubu,

Hope you have a great day.

The error "Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named parameters" typically occurs when there is a conflict or an incorrect combination of parameters in your PowerShell command.

We ran a test where the above error occurs after specifying -Tenant. Since -Tenant is not a required parameter, we can omit it. Refer to the documentation for the Connect-PnPOnline command.

I made some changes based on the PowerShell command you provided to extract the owner of the SharePoint site. Please try to see if the PowerShell command I provided works.

#Parameters
$AdminSiteURL = "https://contoso-admin.sharepoint.com"
$CSVPath = "C:\SiteOwners.csv"
$ClientId = "xxxxxxx"
$ClientSecret = "xxxxxxxx"
#Connect to Admin Center Site
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $AdminSiteURL -ClientId $ClientId -ClientSecret $ClientSecret  
#Get All Site collections
$SiteCollections = Get-PnPTenantSite
$SiteOwners = @()
 
#Loop through each site collection
ForEach($Site in $SiteCollections)
{
    Write-host -F Green "Site Owner(s) of the site: " $Site.Url
    Connect-PnPOnline -Url $Site.Url -ClientId $ClientId -ClientSecret $ClientSecre
     
    If($Site.Template -like 'GROUP*')
    {
        #Get Group Owners
        $Owners = (Get-PnPMicrosoft365GroupOwners -Identity ($Site.GroupId)  | Select -ExpandProperty Email) -join "; "
    }
    Else
    {
        #Get Site Owner
        $Owners = $Site.Owner
    }
     #Collect Data
    $SiteOwners += New-Object PSObject -Property @{
    'Site Title' = $_.Title
    'URL' = $_.Url
    'Owner(s)' = $Owners
    }
}
#Get Site Owners
$SiteOwners
  
#Export Site Owners report to CSV
$SiteOwners | Export-Csv -path $CSVPath -NoTypeInformation
