    Hi René, the customer wanted a local solution (everything on the management server). I had also thought of a "cloud solution". I will probably write another article about this ;-). What I want to mention is that the password is not directly in the script, that's what the intermediate step is for.

    It depends I guess. When using application permissions you could sometimes end up with some weird errors.. Not saying that delegated permissions are better but 🙂 until know i only have seen this API errors only with application permissions.. so that could be a good reason i guess 😉 ?
