$NewCrmInstance = New-CrmInstanceInfo -BaseLanguage 1033 -DomainName matptest -FriendlyName "Contoso production instance" -InitialUserEmail admin@contoso.onmicrosoft.com -InstanceType Sandbox -ServiceVersionId 31cafafe-c6b1-4c0a-bb53-73927841bc5c -CurrencyCode 840 -CurrencyName USD -CurrencyPrecision 2 -CurrencySymbol $ -Purpose "This is a new production environment for Contoso."

    Thanks again Daniel,

    the Issue regarding "where the Enviroment" is created is more related to the internal path.

    1) now

    2) targetpath like it should be.

    1)Internal : @{id=/providers/Microsoft.BusinessAppPlatform/environments/<guid>; type=Microsoft.BusinessAppPlatform/environments; location=europe; name=<guid>;

    properties=}

    2)Internal : @{id=/providers/Microsoft.BusinessAppPlatform/scopes/admin/environments/<guid>; type=Microsoft.BusinessAppPlatform/scopes/environments; location=europe;

    name=<guid>; properties=}

    when i run New-adminpowerappEnvironment i see all Enviroments like in 2) , all good, but as soon as i run

    New-AdminPowerAppEnvironment -DisplayName 'xxx' -Location Europe -EnvironmentSku Sandbox -CurrencyName EUR -LanguageName German -Templates D365_Sales -DomainName xxx -WaitUntilFinished $true

    the Output is at /providers/Microsoft.BusinessAppPlatform/environments/

    Hey.

    if you run the "-templates $Null" you won't be able to provision Dynamics 365 Apps. You get an environment with a database, but no possibility to deploy D365 Apps.   Second:  the command will run in the context of the user running the powershell.  So a piece of advise: before running the New-adminpowerappEnvironment, try running another command (like Get-AdminPowerAppEnvironment to see the list of environments). This will ask for authentication and you'll be able to see if you're connected  to the right location.

    Finally, for the templates part:  run "get-adminpowerappcdsdatabasetemplates". This will ask for the location (for example europe or unitedstates).  learn.microsoft.com/.../get-adminpowerappcdsdatabasetemplates

    Regards

    Thanks a Lot Daniel!

    Now im desperately seaching for the replacement of the old "connectionhost" parameter aka the root service endpoint

    f.e. $connectionhost = "admin.services.crm4.dynamics.com"

    when i drop

    New-AdminPowerAppEnvironment -DisplayName 'xxx' -Location Europe -EnvironmentSku Sandbox -CurrencyName EUR -LanguageName German -Templates $Null -DomainName xxx -WaitUntilFinished $true -ApiVersion

    the Organisation is not created in our Powerplatform Enviroment where our Dyn365 Stuff is running...

    Hey Meekmann!

    new-CrmInstanceInfo provisioned an environment already with a database.  However, most of these commands are either deprecated or will be deprecated soon.  Instead, you should use "new-adminpowerappenvironment" as indicated on  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powerapps.administration.powershell/new-adminpowerappenvironment?view=pa-ps-latest.  This will allow you to specify the location (EMEA, ASIA, US, etc) and the specific datacenter (West-Europe, North Europe, or UK South/UK Central).  Also, you can set the creation of a database with -provisionDatabase switch, and for the Dynamics365 Apps, you can use the -Template option
