Hi All,

A few hours ago Microsoft has released the MicrosoftTeams PowerShell Module 4.4.1 to GA.

• MicrosoftTeams 4.4.1

With the Commands below you can search and install the Module from the PowerShell Gallery. I used the -Force Parameter to have diffrent Modules installed side-by-side.

Find-Module MicrosoftTeams
Install-Module MicrosoftTeams -Force

Connect-MicrosoftTeams
Get-Module

The usual Testing

Get-Team
Get-CsOnlineUser -Identity a.bohren@icewolf.ch | fl *Ent*,*host*,*voice*, *line*

Hi All,

I was digging a little bit deeper into the Recipient Management without Exchange Server. I’ve already blogged about it how to install the Managment Tools only fo install the Recipient Management PowerShell

• Install and use Exchange 2019 CU12 Recipient Management PowerShell

Add-PSSnapin *RecipientManagement
Get-PSSnapin

As you can see on the Server the Exchange Server 2019 CU12 is installed (Management Tools only)

I found the References of the PowerShell Snapins in the Registry here:

Hi All,

Azure Active Directory Sign-in Logs is really helpful, when analyzing Sign-in Problems.

But it also can be very helpful, when analyzing the overall Sign-ins or looking out for strange behavior.

One of the Tips would be th Filter for Location and use the CountryCode and Status of Sucess

I have set up Azure Active Directory Diagnostics to save the Sign-In Logs to a LogAnalytics Workspace.

Here you can Query the Logs with KQL. Let’s search for Logins that come from Outside Switzerland.

Hi All,

A Month ago, Microsoft annouced in the Exchange Team Blog, the New Reply-all Storm Protection Report, Settings UI and new Mail flow Alert Policies.

New Reply-all Storm Protection Report, Settings UI, and Alert Policy https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/exchange-team-blog/new-reply-all-storm-protection-report-settings-ui-and-alert/ba-p/3292465

In the new Exchange Admin Center https://admin.exchange.microsoft.com you can find the Reply-all Storm Settings unter Settings > Mail flow

These Settings can also be configured by PowerShell.

Keep in Mind, that the Minimum Recipients must be between 1000 and 5000. A good Number for large Enterprises but not very suitable if you’re a smaller Company with 100 up to 1000 Employees.

Hi All,

Recently i had a customer who wanted to upload a File on SharePoint.

I’ve done something similar with PowerShell on Windows and Azure Automation.

• Upload file to SharePoint Online with PnP.PowerShell

• Install PowerShell on Linux

As i have a CentOS8 available i did test that. There is a specific Docs from Microsoft that explains how to Install PowerShell on CentOS

• Installing PowerShell on CentOS

cat /etc/centos-release
rpm -i https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/download/v7.2.4/powershell-lts-7.2.4-1.rh.x86\_64.rpm
pwsh -v

Hi All,

I’ve tried out the ExchangeOnlineManagement Preview6 PowerShell Module

• ExchangeOnlineManagement 2.0.6-Preview6

Get-InstalledModule ExchangeOnlineManagement
Find-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement

Installing the Module Side by Side

Install-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement -AllowPrerelease -Force

Connect-ExchangeOnline

As you can see, there is no PS Session

Get-PSSession
Get-Mailbox -Identity a.bohren@icewolf.ch | fl Name
Get-EXOMailbox -Identity a.bohren@icewolf.ch | fl Name

If you check the Commands it seems pretty complete

Get-Module

Get-Command -Module ExchangeOnlineManagement | measure
Get-Command -Module tmpEXO* | measure

VMware Released a Security Advisory regarding VMware Tools (CVE-2022-22977)

Hi All,

I had almost forgotten, that on the Microsoft Patchday also a new Version of Azure FileSyncAgent was available.

When i look at the Azure Storage Sync Service i see that the Registered Server runs FileSyncAgent 14.1

• Azure File Sync Agent v15.0

I’ve downloaded the MSI but was not able to install, without uninstalling the Software first

Instead i used the Windows Update Package

After a Reboot i can see the new Azure File Sync Agent Version in Azure Portal

Hi All,

A few Hours ago, Microsoft has released the Azure PowerShell Module AZ v8.0.0

• Microsoft Azure PowerShell AZ 8.0.0

• Release Notes not yet udated

Check your current installed Module and what is available on PowerShell Gallery

Get-InstalledModule AZ
Find-Module AZ

I’ve published a Script in my GitHub Repo to uninstall the old Modules and install the new Modules

Cleanup-AZModules.ps1

Or you can run the Script below to directly execute that Script

Hi All,

Maybe you have noticed the new Mail flow Alert policies in Exchange Admin Center.

You can define new Alert policies, define the Severity, the Insight, the recipient, the Notification Limit and sometimes also the Threshold for the Alert.

For me it’s a little bit odd to send an Email in case something does not work well with the Mailflow.

It could be that you get the Email very late or even when the issue is already resolved. As far as i know there is still no dedicated API to get to Informations like these… Let me know if i am wrong.
