Hi All,

A few days ago Microsoft has released Information about Graph API Support for Message Trace. The Article is not very detailed so i had to invest some time to make it work.

• Exchange Team Blog Message Trace Support Using Graph API is now in Public Preview
• MS Learn Message trace (preview)

It’s more or less the Graph API equivalent of Exchange Online Message Trace V2

Graph Explorer

I started first with the Graph Explorer and the URL below

Hi All,

I’ve written a simple Script for Monitoring the M365 Services via the Health und Communications API.

I think it’s a good start if you don’t have any other Monitoring Solution available. The cool thing is you can select the Services you’re interested in - usually not all Services are deployed at a customer. And you only get an Email for NEW or COSED Issues.

If you are familiar with PowerShell you will find it easy to adopt and maybe extend the Script to create a Incident in your Ticketing Plattform or create a Teams Message. Whatever fit’s your Company…

Hi All,

A few hours ago, Microsoft has released new Microsoft.Entra and Microsoft.Entra.Beta PowerShell Modules.

• PowerShell Gallery Microsoft.Entra 1.2.0

The Entra PowerShell Module is similar to the Micrsoft.Graph PowerShell Modules. It has a “Master” Module with dependencies.

• PowerShell Gallery Microsoft.Entra.Beta 1.2.0

Same with the Microsoft.Entra.Beta Module. It has a “Master” Module with dependencies.

See the Release Notes

Check installed Versions and what’s available from the Powershell Gallery

Hi All,

With the MC1188595 in M365 Admin Center, Microsoft has announced the App-only Authentication with Certificate for the Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell in the Version 16.0.26712.12000 or newer.

Entra Application

We need an Entra Application

In the “Certificate & Secrets” Section i upload a Certificate (*.cer File)

Certificate has been uploaded and configured

Now we need to add “API permission” and use “API’s my organization uses” and search for “Office 365 SharePoint Online”

Hi All,

Microsoft is rolling out three new Entra admin roles for Microsoft Purview to strengthen security when Purview interacts with Microsoft 365 services such as Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams.

New Entra Admin Roles:

• Purview Workload Content Reader
• Purview Workload Content Writer
• Purview Workload Content Administrator

The key point of these new roles is that Microsoft explicitly notes an admin should not directly assign them to users. These roles are managed through Purview role assignments. Any manual assignment in Entra will be overwritten by Purview.

Hi All,

A few Months ago i saw, that the recommendation for New-ApplicationAccessPolicy has changed.

App Access Policies are replaced by Role Based Access Control for Applications. To learn more, see Role Based Access Control for Exchange Applications. Don’t create new App Access Policies as these policies will eventually require migration to Role Based Access Control for Applications.

In Github you can see that the Change has been Published in August
