First we need to connect to Site. To perform connection add,

$tenantSiteURL = Read-Host "Provide tenant url"
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $tenantSiteURL
#Executing this line will ask for credentials. Provide use name and password to connect.

 

To add different sites we need to follow these steps.

# To add Classic Teamsite

New-PnPTenantSite -Title My_TeamSite -Url http://portal/sites/My_TeamSite -Owner [email protected] -TimeZone 4 -Template STS#0

# To add Modern Teamsite

New-PnPSite -Type TeamSite -Title 'My_ModernTeamSite' -Alias My_ModernTeamSite

# To add Communication site

New-PnPSite -Type CommunicationSite -Title My_CommunicationSite -Url http://portal/sites /My_CommunicationSite

To retrieve all sites and subsites from tenant, we need to follow these steps.

#Get all site collections
$SiteCollections = Get - PnPTenantSite
foreach($SiteCollection in $SiteCollections) {
    #Displays each sitecollection url, template, title in console window.
    Write - Host "SiteCollections:"
    $SiteCollection.Url " - "
    $SiteCollection.Template " - "
    $SiteCollection.Title
    # To retrieve each subsite and its property of a sitecollection we need to connect to site.using“ Connect - PnPOnline - Url $SiteCollection.Url - Credentials $cred” will ask to enter credentials each time.So here we will use alternative - UseWebLogin
    Connect - PnPOnline - Url $SiteCollection.Url - UseWebLogin
    # To get all subsites
    $subsites = Get - PnPSubWebs;
    foreach($subsite in $subsites) {
        #Displays each subsite url, template, title in console window.
        Write - Host "Subsites:"
        $subsite.Url " - "
        $subsite.Template " - "
        $subsite.Title
    }
}
