Hi Vasil,

I am using AzureADPreview 2.0

Not sure what commands to substitute for the last line or if this is written differently.
I do want to keep the existing settings but open it up to everyone again.

If I substitute the commands that you wrote with the below, the first two lines work.
I'm stuck on what the third line should be or if it should be written differently.

$temp = Get-AzureADDirectorySetting | ? {$_.TemplateId -eq "62375ab9-6b52-47ed-826b-58e47e0e304b"}
$temp["EnableGroupCreation"] = $True

I thought it would be: New-AzureADSetting...
but with the $temp commands I'm missing a $setting variable or something else.

I found some help from the below link, but what I have tried is not working.

Thanks,
Denise

  If using AzureAD cmdlets, you need Set-AzureADDirectorySetting for the last part. There's a detailed guide here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-accessmanagement-groups-settings-cmdlets

    These commands appear to work but do not do anything.
    EnableGroupCreation Value still shows False
    
    #Check for settings
    Get-AzureADDirectorySetting -All $True | Format-Table Id, DisplayName
    Get-AzureADDirectorySetting -All $True | where-object {$_.DisplayName -eq "Group.Unified"} | ForEach-Object Values
    
    #Enable again and preserve the current settings
    $temp = Get-AzureADDirectorySetting | ? {$_.TemplateId -eq "62375ab9-6b52-47ed-826b-58e47e0e304b"}
    $temp["EnableGroupCreation"] = $True
    $setting = Get-AzureADDirectorySetting –Id []
    Set-AzureADDirectorySetting -Id [] -DirectorySetting $setting
    
    #left ID blank in this post []
    
    Am I still missing something?
