Hi,

I’m testing backup of M365. I’ve setup Commvault instance 11.40.34 on Windows.

I’ve added Exchange Online, OneDrive for Business - no problem.

But when I’m trying to add Sharepoint Online app (throught Protect → Office 365 → Sharepoint Online - Configure now) then app is added, but it’s not Sharepoint but Exchange.

I’ve setup separate applications for all apps with proper permissions according to the documentation.

I just did everything similar to adding Exchange or OneDrive, tried few times with no luck. Any ideas?

Hi ​@mateusznitka 

Good day!
 

-- This behavior, where adding a SharePoint Online app result in an Exchange app being created, the UI is not behaving as expected.
-- Please try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser.
-- Please use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, as some browsers may not support all actions.
-- Logging out and back into Command Center.
 

Check the App Creation Steps:
========================

When adding SharePoint Online, ensure you: Enter a unique name for the app.
Select the correct backup plan and access node.
Enter the Tenant admin site URL (e.g., https://<tenant>-admin.sharepoint.com).
Provide the correct Application ID, Application Secret, and Directory ID for the SharePoint Azure App.
Use credentials for a SharePoint admin who is also a site collection admin.
Confirm that the Azure App registered for SharePoint Online has the required permissions
Refer

-- We need to check the Command Center and Webserver logs for any errors during the app creation process. 
-- If still have issue, please create a support case to investigate more on this

Hi,

I managed to add Sharepoint. But I have to go to “Apps” tab and then “Add Office 365 app”, and next click “Sharepoint”. That way you have “…/configureOffice365App?appType=SharePoint” in address and everything works fine.

 

But when you try to add Sharepoint from Overview and click Sharepoint → “Configure Now”, then there is no this additional text in address and adding Sharepoint results in Exchange app instead being created.

 

So I think there is a bug in web UI. I have the same behavior on two different test instances.
