Practical Graph: Find Large Mailbox Items with the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK
Server-side filtering is always best when PowerShell retrieves items from the server. In this article, we explore how to construct a server-side filter to find large mailbox items over a certain threshold. The answer lies in filtering against an old Outlook property. The Graph represents the property through the single value extended property resource. But how do you filter against such a thing? https://practical365.com/find-large-mailbox-items/Managing External Sharing in Microsoft 365 Without Chaos
External collaboration is no longer optional. Vendors, partners, clients, and contractors all need access to files, Teams, and sometimes even entire SharePoint sites. Microsoft 365 makes this easy—but too easy if it’s not governed properly. Unchecked external sharing can quickly turn into chaos: sensitive documents shared with the wrong people, anonymous links floating around forever, and zero visibility into who has access to what. The good news is that Microsoft 365 provides powerful controls to balance collaboration without compromising security. This article walks through how to manage external sharing in Microsoft 365 effectively, with clear technical steps, best practices, and real-world governance tips. https://dellenny.com/managing-external-sharing-in-microsoft-365-without-chaos/Synchronizing Security and Microsoft 365 Group Memberships
An article from 2018 uses the AzureAD and Exchange PowerShell modules to synchronize membership between a security and a Microsoft 365 group. The idea is to enable collaboration for the members of the security group. This version does the work with the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK. The code is better and it will work as an Azure Automation runbook, which is always nice. https://office365itpros.com/2026/01/20/group-membership-synchronization/
Microsoft Places desk declined despite check-in
Each We've just started using Places in our office and a few users have reported recieving a desk decline email due to no check-in on the desk, despite them using the check-in button on the Places app to check-in on arrival to the office. Has anyone seen this previously? Each desk has two monitors, which I have associated with the desks in the Teams Pro Management portal to enable detection and check-in. Reservation settings for all desks are as below.How to Create SharePoint Sites with the Graph API
Microsoft released the beta version of the SharePoint Online create Site API for the Microsoft Graph in late November 2025. Since then, Microsoft has dropped one of the three site templates. Playing with the API, we’ve discovered that the API can certainly create sites but that the SharePoint Graph API misses a heap of features, like adding members to the new site. Oh well, one step forward… https://office365itpros.com/2026/01/19/create-site-api-spo/Issue with Outlook (Microsoft 365)

Shared OneDrive for Charity Management Team
We are a small charity running a Village Hall in the UK. A few of the trustees form a Business Team that run the hall day to day. All of these have Office 365 personal or family subscriptions to use word outlook etc on their own laptops. The charity itself has Office 365 Business Basic Grant subscription. This give us Exchange email, OneDrive, Teams and SharePoint plus a few other bits. We currently store all our charity documentation on a free 15Gb OneDrive dating back to SkyDrive when first adopted. Each member of the team has their own charity Microsoft account and email e.g. email address removed for privacy reasons or email address removed for privacy reasons etc, etc. I want to migrate this data onto an Office 365 Business OneDrive that is shared with this Business Team Here's the rub. As most users have a personal subscription and data saved on their own OneDrive keeping the two separate is problematic. Because Microsoft credentials are so tightly integrated between the OS and Office if they try and sign in to the existing OneDrive it takes them to their own private OneDrive. To work around this they have to use an Incognito browser session in order to log in. I am aware you can create a shared OneDrive for teams as described https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/create-a-new-shared-library-from-onedrive-for-work-or-school-345c8599-05d8-4bf8-9355-2b5cfabe04d0 which should allow them to access this OneDrive by using their own credentials as above (email address removed for privacy reasons etc) but if they log in to this shared OneDrive once, and on the prompt that comes up at log in select "Stay logged in", can they keep visiting the site without logging in again and will they then have to use an incognito browser session to access their own personal OneDrive? Sorry this is so complicated but its been a nightmare trying to keep this working Many thanks John
Microsoft Word opens custom WebDav server in Read Only mode
I'm trying to implement a custom WebDav server in Django and when I try to open a document in Microsoft Word using Microsoft's Office URI, it always opens in read-only mode. In my OPTIONS endpoint I'm returning the needed headers of DAV: 1,2 MS-Author-Via: DAV And when I look at which HTTP requests are being sent, I only see OPTIONS, GET, and HEAD. I never see an attempt at LOCK I'm testing this on a Mac. What am I missing to get Microsoft Word to open my document in read/write?Some Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK Cmdlets Lose Body Parameters
A change made for some Directory Graph APIs has flowed through to the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK and affected how the associated cmdlets work, including the beta cmdlet to restore a deleted user account and while replacing the user principal name. Fortunately, the workaround is easy, but it is upsetting when something that worked suddenly doesn’t, even if it is a beta cmdlet. https://office365itpros.com/2026/01/16/restore-deleted-user-account-sdk/
