While creating a new PowerPlatform Environment with PowerShell you have to supply the '-Endpoint' paramater in 'Add-PowerAppsAccount'.

Exampel script is givin on the following Microsoft learn page:

Tutorial: Provision a new environment with an ERP-based template - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn

The allowed values are:

The value can be "prod", "preview", "tip1", "tip2", "usgov", "dod", "usgovhigh", or "china"

Some are obvious but some are not...

What does "tip1", "tip2' and "dod" mean?

Also do you need to use "Preview" if a specific template is still in Preview? And if so, why is the example using "prod" then?

In other words, when to use "Preview"?

Hi Floris,

Great question. I don't know the purpose of Tip1 and Tip2. DOD stands for Department of Defence and is also US government related.

Anyway, your question is about preview versus prod. To be honest, I also don't know this answer. Usually, I use the command Add-PowerAppsAccount without the additional parameter. The parameter is optional. Maybe, the preview might be a Microsoft internal pre-prod environment, but that is only a guess by me.

The EnvironmentSKU manages the type of environment, e.g. Developer, Sandbox, Trial, and Production.
