Invoke-PnPTenantTemplate: '>' is an unexpected token. The expected token is '='. Line 15, position 76.

What version of PnP PowerShell are you using? You might want to consider trying 1.7.0: https://github.com/pnp/sp-starter-kit/blob/master/documentation/common-provision-results.md#error-improper-version-of-pnp-powershell-installed. It is possible as the provisioning engine keeps evolving, the template needs corrections. While we investigate, downgrading to PnP PS 1.7.0 may assist.

I was using 1.9.0 but I have also tried with 1.7.0 and producing the same error message. Could it have something to do with the fact that I am using version 7.2.0 of Powershell? I have not tried it with a legacy version as of yet Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

I certainly haven't tried that version of PS, it may be worth trying a legacy version and report back findings.

Hi,
I have tried using a legacy version of PS this evening (5.1.22000.282) using PnP version 1.7.0 and I am receiving the same error message. I have also tried with some of the other tenant level and site level templates and receive the same error
This is the error code that I receive:

Invoke-PnpTenantTemplate : '>' is an unexpected token. The expected token is '='. Line 15, position 76.
At line:1 char:1

• Invoke-PnpTenantTemplate starterkit.pnp

•   + CategoryInfo          : WriteError: (:) [Invoke-PnPTenantTemplate], XmlException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : EXCEPTION,PnP.PowerShell.Commands.Provisioning.Tenant.InvokeTenantTemplate
  
  

Thanks

It is recommended that you use PS 7, with the latest PnP PowerShell.

I just tested using PnP PowerShell 1.7 and PS 5.1.19041.1320, and it deployed successfully without error.

Additionally, I just tested with PnP PowerShell 1.9 and PS 5.1.19041.1320 and it deployed successfully.
