Running Un-attended Scripts via Task Scheduler
I am trying to get some of my PS Scripts that are required regularly to run un-attended on a server using Task Scheduler. I am aware that App Registrations seem to be the recommended way, but I am struggling to find the best way to plan and deploy a solution. For example, one of the jobs I want to automate is a search using Exchange get-messagetracev2, I have created a service account, given the account Delegate Full Access permissions to 31 shared mailboxes I need to report on. Basically, I need to know how many emails have been received during the previous week to each mailbox. Generate a csv, list the mailbox, start date - end date, number of emails received, then ideally either email 3 users the report, or send a Teams notification (using Workflow Bot) to send a notification that the report is ready and the file is attached. I must be using the least permissive method of doing this, looking for ways to achieve this with the lowest level of access and to understand the best config for the App Registration, can I use Delegate or must it be App permissions? Thanks in advance
Get-Secret fails when Powershell script runs in a scheduled task.
I have a PowerShell backup script that connects to SMB shares, copies files from one share to the other share, and disconnects. Passwords used to connect to the shares are stored in a SecretStore. The user account that the script runs under is an unpriviledged Backup Operator that has access to the SMB shares. THe SecretStore was created under the same user context. I can run the script manually in the console, and it executes correctly. When I run the same script as a scheduled task, running under the same user account, the script stops when the Get-Secret cmdlet is called.

Build PowerShell as "framework-dependent"
Before I start a time expensive and maybe unsuccessful attempt: Is it relatively easily possible to compile PowerShell from the source and make it "framework-dependent" instead of "self-contained"? In doing so, PowerShell could be de-coupled from the .NET runtime (which is most probably already installed), and maybe an even newer runtime version could be used (currently, PowerShell has no .NET 10 packed and I have to wait for a release that supports it)...

Hi All! I've been working on a script to set sensitivity labels for all files in a SharePoint folder. I'm using the cmdlet "Set-PnPSensitivityLabel" but it isn't found. I've uninstalled pnp.powershell. I've reinstalled it. I've updated it. I've imported it. (Repeated these steps twice) The cmdlet is still not found. I've listed all the cmdlets in the module and it is not being installed. Any suggestions would be appreciated.Get-PnPListItem retrieving no files from SharePoint folder with files

The line $Files = Get-PnPListItem -List "Documents" -FolderServerRelativeUrl $FolderPath | Where-Object { $_.FileSystemObjectType -eq "File" } retrieves no files so it just skips the following loop and ends with no errors. I added the line Write-Host "Files found $Files" to verify that it was not finding anything.Powershell - Change Intune Application Assignments
Hello, I'd like to bulk-edit a number of my Intune Win32 assignments. I've got ~30 applications to go through, but I've noted their AppIDs so it would be worth the time investment to find a working Powershell script to run this without having to manually edit each one. Below runs through Elevated Powershell without error, so I'd thought it was successful. Unfortunately nothing changes and assignments remain the same. I've cut down the number in this script and edited tenant-based ID's but practically-speaking this runs through fine. Can anyone advise? I'm new to powershell and basically relying on AI to help make them, or the occasional forum post I can find. # Install the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK if not already installed Install-Module Microsoft.Graph -Scope CurrentUser -Force # Import the Device Management module Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.DeviceManagement # Connect to Microsoft Graph Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "DeviceManagementApps.ReadWrite.All" # Retrieve all mobile apps $allApps = Get-MgDeviceAppManagementMobileApp # Filter for Win32 apps $win32Apps = $allApps | Where-Object { $_.'@odata.type' -eq '#microsoft.graph.win32LobApp' } # List of specific app IDs to target $specificAppIds = @( "ba5988e8-4hhe-4e99-9181-ff85ce589113", "d49dk602-5e02-4af3-b09c-d98d8edac8fb" ) # Filter the Win32 apps to only include the specific apps $targetApps = $win32Apps | Where-Object { $specificAppIds -contains $_.Id } # Define group IDs $requiredGroupId = "57ce1fb3-5f94-4287-8f0b-e2ed595ac900" # Replace with your actual required group ID $uninstallGroupId = "aq7a3571-7f71-4deb-8f81-289dfe38a2e6" # Replace with your actual uninstall group ID # Loop through each target app and update the assignment foreach ($app in $targetApps) { # Get the current assignments $assignments = Get-MgDeviceAppManagementMobileAppAssignment -MobileAppId $app.Id # Define the new assignments $requiredGroupAssignment = @{ "@odata.type" = "#microsoft.graph.mobileAppAssignment" target = @{ "@odata.type" = "#microsoft.graph.groupAssignmentTarget" groupId = $requiredGroupId } intent = "required" } $uninstallGroupAssignment = @{ "@odata.type" = "#microsoft.graph.mobileAppAssignment" target = @{ "@odata.type" = "#microsoft.graph.groupAssignmentTarget" groupId = $uninstallGroupId } intent = "uninstall" } # Add the new assignments to the existing assignments $updatedAssignments = $assignments + $requiredGroupAssignment + $uninstallGroupAssignment # Update the app assignments Update-MgDeviceAppManagementMobileAppAssignment -MobileAppId $app.Id -BodyParameter $updatedAssignmentsConnect-SPOService not working in PowerShell 7
Hi all, I'm having some issues getting Connect-SPOService working in PowerShell 7 (7.2.4). It works fine in Windows PowerShell (5.1.22), however it will always generate errors when trying to us it in PS 7 which I've listed below. Firstly if I open Windows PS, I can use it straight away, however if I open PS 7, I have to import the module in order to use it. I guess I can fix this with a profile adjustment, but is there a reason why this would be the case? Secondly even when it's been imported, if I try to connect with the following, I get an error: Connect-SPOService -Url https://***-admin.sharepoint.com Connect-SPOService: No valid OAuth 2.0 authentication session exists Never seen this before in Windows PS and I'm not sure how to resolve it so I tried connecting with this instead. Still got an error but a different one this time: Connect-SPOService -Url https://***-admin.sharepoint.com -Credential ***@***.com Connect-SPOService: The sign-in name or password does not match one in the Microsoft account system. I know these are the right credientials as again they work fine in Windows PS. This lead me to think that something still wasn't being imported correctly into PS 7, so I had a look at the modes, and I noticed that the ExportedCommands don't appear when Get-Module is run in PS 7, but again they do in Windows PS. I'm guessing this could be part of the issue but I'm not sure how to resolve it. From what I can see everything appears fine, but I'm sure I'm missing something here. I've tried setting my ExecutionPolicy to unrestricted in case that was the problem, however it didn't appear to change anything. If anyone has seen this before or could provide any help it would be greatly appreciated. I realise that I could just use Windows PS, but it feels like PS 7 is the way forward and it would be nice to better understand why this is happening. Many thanks in advance.How to disable automatic updates in Debug Diagnostics 2.1 using PowerShell
Greetings all. I am writing a PowerShell script to do an unattended install of Debug Diagnostics Tool version 2.2.0.14. The installer is an x64 .msi. The unattended install works fine, but I am unable to find the correct switch/command to disable automatic updates for the tool. Here is the latest code I tried: Execute-MSI -Action 'Install' -Path "<filepath>\DebugDiagx64.msi" -Parameters "/qn /norestart ALLUSERS=2 DISABLE_AUTOUPDATES=1" Other switches I have tried for disabling updates includes DISABLE_UPDATES=1, UPDATES=0 and UPDATES=FALSE. None of these work. Updates can be disabled manually through the Options & Settings GUI. Screenshots for this are attached. I really need a way to disable the automatic updates through PowerShell during an unattended installation through SCCM .

Hi folks, This is a brief callout that Invoke-MgGraphRequest is not currently respecting the ErrorAction parameter. Rather, it's hardwired to throwing an exception as if ErrorAction:Stop had been provided. If you're like me and typically use ErrorAction:Stop in a try/catch block then you won't be impacted, but if use another value like Continue (the default) or SilentlyContinue, you may find this breaks your automation. Example Hopefully this is addressed in a future version of the Microsoft.Graph.Authentication module. Cheers, LainMap vmdk to guest volume
I have a Hyper-V cluster and want PowerShell to give me a list of what vmdk file is assigned to which volume mount point in the virtual machine OS (Windows). Example: vmdk file mount point ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C:\ClusterStorage\Data1\VM\ComputerA\Virtual Hard Disks\OSDisk.vhdx C:\ C:\ClusterStorage\Data1\VM\ComputerA\Virtual Hard Disks\MainMount.vhdx M:\ C:\ClusterStorage\Data1\VM\ComputerA\Virtual Hard Disks\Temp.vhdx M:\Temp The vmdks for C: and M: are mapped to drives in the guest, whereas Temp.vhdx is mounted in a folder under M:\. The main challenge for me is actually to find the correct elements that allow me to link a VMDK to a disk inside the virtual machine OS. The ones I found so far are: Get-Disk gives me numbers for adapter, port, target, and LUN, and Get-VMHardDiskDrive returns numbers for controller and location, which I guess link to target and LUN. But I'm pretty unsure whether it's safe to use these properties... Get-Disk returns a path, and I think I can use this to map the result of a win32_mountpoint CIM query to it to get the volume mount point... Does anyone have some valuable information for me on this?
