Remarks​

Renaming site collections is by default asynchronous and depending on the current state of Microsoft 365, might take up to few minutes. If you're building a script with steps that require the operation to complete fully, you should use the --wait flag. When using this flag, the spo tenant site rename command will keep running until it receives confirmation from Microsoft 365 that the site rename operation has completed.

info

To use this command you must have permissions to access the tenant admin site.
