Hi All,

A few days ago, Microsoft has released a new Version of the WhiteboardAdmin PowerShell Module to the PowerShell Gallery.

• PowerShell Gallery WhiteboardAdmin 1.13.8

The Release Notes does not give a lot of insights

I am using the new PSResourceGet here instead of the PowerShellGet commands.

Show installed Versions and what’s available in PowerShell Gallery

Get-InstalledPSResource WhiteboardAdmin -Scope CurrentUser
Find-PSResource WhiteboardAdmin

Uninstalling the Modules with Uninstall-PSResource failed again.

Hi All,

You can run a Query in the Kusto Query Language (KQL) in Azure Log Analytics Workspace.

In my case i have configured Entra ID Diagnostic settings to store the SignInLogs to an Azure Log Analytics Workspace.

In this Article, i’ll explain how to Query a Log Analytics Workspace with PowerShell.

SigninLogs 
| where TimeGenerated > ago(30d)
| where ResultType == 0
| summarize count() by UserId, UserPrincipalName
| order by count_ desc

Hi All,

Recently i’ve been stumbled over this Article:

Here you could “Enable automatic upgrade” of an Extension

You need to use the AZ PowerShell Module

Connect to Azure

Hi All,

Hi All,

Two days ago, Microsoft has released the Preview5 of the Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet PowerShell Module.

• Powershell Gallery Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet 1.2.0-rc1

You can check the Release Notes

PowerShell 5

Check the Module Path

$Env:PSModulePath.Split(";")

I’ve simply deleted the Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet Folder in Windows Explorer - because there is no “Scope” Parameter in the Uninstall-Module command

Installing the PSResourceGet with Install-Module

Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet -Scope CurrentUser -AllowPrerelease
Get-InstalledPSResource -Name Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet -Scope CurrentUser

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,

Over Christmas i’ve read about the “Microsoft MCP Server for Enterprise” that is currently in Preview

• MS Learn Overview of Microsoft MCP Server for Enterprise (preview)

Setup

There is good Guidance on how to set it up here:

• Get started with the Microsoft MCP Server for Enterprise

You will need to install the Microsoft.Entra.Beta PowerShell Module

• PowerShell Gallery Microsoft.Entra.Beta

Install-PSResource -Name Microsoft.Entra.Beta -Scope CurrentUser

Connect to Entra

Connect-Entra -Scopes 'Application.ReadWrite.All', 'Directory.Read.All', 'DelegatedPermissionGrant.ReadWrite.All'
