I decided to use an Azure Virtual Machine to run the SharePoint Online Management Shell to change my SharePoint URL It was definitely a journey to set it up. And then another journey to view the desktop. And then another to get the commands to work. I can’t even repeat it. The command won’t take place until at a minimum 24 hours after initiation. According to the instructions that was the time of the computer you are working with, but that didn’t seem to be true. So at about 7 am UTC on 2/6/2023 we will see if this actually executed. Thank you to @box464@mastodon.social for the advice. Day 26 of #100DaysofIndieWeb, #IndieWeb, #ProjectJournal, #SharePoint
