At my last job I had wanted to make a ME cloud version PowerShell module, but never got to, that should make your life easier. How hard was it for the on prem version?

Last Friday of May, what did you do with PowerShell this month? I worked on some scripts for creating apps in Entra, Export Conditional Access Policies, and Export Defender Policies/Settings. I’ll see if I can put some blogs together for them too.

It still needs some work, but it’s getting there. I also have it sync a lot of fields with Brickset to keep the data new, and/or I don’t have to fill it all in. Also I have it sync with a SharePoint list which then I use power apps to view it anywhere easily.
