SharePoint Server SPOMod: Connect-SPCSOM
This article describes a function of a custom SharePoint module available for download and installation on GitHub where it welcomes all your suggestions and contributions.
Connect-SPCSOM
The cmdlet connects you to a particular subsite or site collection on a SharePoint Server 2013 or 2016 where you want to perform other cmdlets (move items, create lists, change settings, etc.). It is necessary to run this cmdlet before other cmdlets. If you do not connect, other cmdlets will return an error or empty results.
