It's always nice when the father of #PowerShell likes a book... but I suspect that Jeffrey likes all PowerShell books...

We've released update #17 for the Automating #Microsoft365 with #PowerShell eBook. Subscribers for the book and subscribers for the #Office365 for IT Pros eBook can download the new PDF and EPUB files from Gumroad.com. office365itpros.com/2025/10/21/a...

The Microsoft Technical Community site is experiencing some difficulties. It's been down for about 12 hours as far as I can tell at this point. Clearly someone isn't looking after some cloud properties... Alas, there's no Copilot for the Technical Community...

Practical information designed to help Microsoft 365 administrators get their job done. 16 cents a day for a year-long subscription isn't much, especially when the books are updated monthly to keep up with change in the #Microsoft365 ecosystem. Office 365 for IT Pros eBook: gum.co/O365IT/

I replied elsewhere to say that this is the report to give authentication methods for user accounts - right? If so, the SDK (beta) cmdlet works. At least, I can run the code described in this article office365itpros.com/2024/06/25/a... Am I missing something?

People mangle "on premises" all the time (on premise is the worst example). #EntraID outputs audit records of type Update OnPremesisExtensionAttributes., which I think is pretty bad too...

If you're running V2.27 of the Microsoft Graph #PowerShell SDK, you might find that the Set-MgUserLicense cmdlet has problems assigning licenses. Looks as if the AddLicenses parameter is screwed up. More at github.com/microsoftgra.... Workaround is to use bodyparameter

Looks like Meta have included many of my books in their training of AI models. If you're an author, check your books and see if Meta has ripped you off. See authorsguild.org/news/meta-li... for more information

As an update, Microsoft appears to have taken action to close the hole that allowed users to update their UPNs. This is what's now displayed from the Entra admin center:

Is anyone else having problems running Purview #Microsoft365 audit searches via the GUI or Graph API? I know these searches run in the background, but waiting 24 hours for a search to complete stretches even my patience...

The paperback version of the Automating #Microsoft365 with #PowerShell book is also updated (amzn.to/3L4IBm). We've never been able to do a print on demand book before because of the size of the Office 365 for IT Pros eBook, so having a print version of the PowerShell book is new for us.

Tony Redmond @office365itpros.com · 23/01/2025

Version 8.0 of the Automating #Microsoft365 with #PowerShell book is available. Subscribers can get the updated files from Gumroad.com o365itpros.gumroad.com/l/M365PS. The update is also available for Office 365 for IT Pros subscribers because it's part of that bundle.

(Some) Viva Engage items show up in search results generated by sharepoint.com or office.com, which is nice. But why not all items? Curious... office365itpros.com/2025/01/02/v... #Microsoft365

A good example why #MicrosoftTeams needs to be protected against unwanted external (federated) chat. "Historic Drug Busts" sounds like a great chat to join, but who's hosting it? #Microsoft365 office365itpros.com/2024/12/06/f...

Microsoft is switching administrators to the new Purview portal, which features new icons, new layouts, and worse performance (at times). Ain't progress wonderful... #Microsoft365

For the record, I changed my handle to Office365itpros.com. Many of my posts reference articles on that site, so it kind of made sense...

Example #PowerShell output. Thanks to @nathanmcnulty.com and @merill.net for the steer towards the insight in the Entra admin center...

And here's an example of the output showing details of users who have downgraded or removed sensitivity labels. The idea is that if you see someone who's removed or downgraded hundreds of labels, they might be doing something suspicious...

Remember too that individual users can choose to display chats and channels together or separately. Unfortunately, there's no tenant-wide option to set the choice for users. #Microsoft365

Old but good... Combine the Get-MgSubscribedSku cmdlet with the subscriptions Graph API to get output including consumption of #Microsoft365 licenses and when they expire. office365itpros.com/2023/07/06/m...
