MS Graph (or alternative) for M365/O365 Retention Policy management

Jhosefer , svermaak_MGL , dgal73 , Victor_Ivanidze Hi all,

I forgot to share something that was provided to me by Chris D on GitHub (I think, but sort of forget) MS Support.  Right now, the Connect-IPPSSession which supports certificate based app-only authentication is only within the preview modules 2.0.6***.  If we want to accomplish the same thing, but using the current GA 2.0.5, we can use Connect-ExchangeOnline and simply supply the -ConnectionUri parameter with the URL to the SCC:

Connect-ExchangeOnline -AppId e3de3805-2f5a-43c7-8541-b448b50936f4 -Organization MyTenant.onmicrosoft.com -Certificate (Get-ChildItem cert:\CurrentUser\My\98556EEAC704460287C809AEDA9CD3A33A9CAA9B) -ConnectionUri 'https://ps.compliance.protection.outlook.com'

... and it works flawlessly!  I can't find this documented as supported, however, I do feel better using this approach in production scripts for clients, vs using the prerelease module versions.  Hope you find it helpful!
