Thanks so much for this... just what I needed today! Worked perfectly.

Seems rather silly this isn't working in the UI yet (still)...

I agree ... having to do things by script adds a lot of over head. My IT manager, has complained that he hates the Admin overhead with O365 because what he could do in the past with a GUI in a few seconds he now has to do by scripting and for him who hasn't done a lot of PowerShell this is cumbersome and a learning curve that he doesn't have time to spend learning. All fine and good if you are a dev-op who was brought up on scripting.
