Basic M365 Monitoring with PowerShell

Basic M365 Monitoring with PowerShell

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…

New Microsoft Purview Roles in Entra

New Microsoft Purview Roles in Entra

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.
