EntraExporter Tool Exports Details of an Entra ID Tenant

 

The EntraExporter toolis a PowerShell module that generates details of objects in an Entra ID tenant configuration (like groups, policies, and users) and creates JSON files. It’s a great way to capture point-in-time information about Entra ID (Azure AD) configuration. Although you can’t replay the captured data to recreate objects, having all the information available is a great start if you need to restore or replay anything.

    Another half baked tool courtesy of Microsoft. Not only does this tool fail to provide a way to restore data if lost (yea, having the data is nice -- but that is literally only half of what a backup tool needs) -- it is also dog slow. One of our engineers wrote a tool to do the same thing that that runs many times faster, and we are not Microsoft. If we can make a better tool in a couple days without knowing as much about the internals of Entra as Microsoft developers, why can't Microsoft do the same?

    I'm sorry, but I'm just not impressed.
