Powershell attribute to distinguish where a group was provisioned?
We would like to determine where a group was provisioned, whether it was Planner, Teams, etc. Is there a PS attribute that can help with this?
You can use the below scripts to find the Groups that were provisioned by Yammer and Teams.
Yammer integrated Office 365 Group List
Get-UnifiedGroup |Where-Object {$_.ProvisioningOption -eq 'YammerProvisioning'} |select DisplayName,Alias,ProvisioningOption,GroupSKU,SharePointSiteUrl,SharePointDocumentsUrl,AccessTypeTeams group List
Get-UnifiedGroup |Where-Object {$_.ProvisioningOption -eq 'ExchangeProvisioningFlags:481'}|select DisplayName,Alias,ProvisioningOption,GroupSKU,SharePointSiteUrl,SharePointDocumentsUrl,AccessTypeSimilarly we expect MSFT to work on for Planner.

Today there is not determistic way of knowing where the group is created from via PowerShell. This is something we have on our backlog and don't have a date we can share.
Using ExchangeProvisioningOption is NOT recommended since not all apps leverage it plus you can create a Teams against an existing Group for instance and this is not reflected in the script below.
Best you can do today is leverage the audit logs instead.
Hi cfiessinger may I ask for updates in this topic? Thank you!
Hi Christophe - Do you have any further update on this item ? Is ProvisioningOption a reliable value to do this check ? Actually we are trying to identify and differentiate the O365 groups based on their origin so this would be helpful. Cheers,

- cfiessingerMukesh this item is still on our backlog and I don't have a timeline to share at this stage.
Is this situation still the same. Can we use Provisioningoption as a reliable source to know where the groups has come from ?
We have different values as below, i heard that the values "ExchangeProvisiongFlags:****" will be changed with proper text like Teams, Planner..... Is the value "YammerProvisioning" will remain as it is ?
ExchangeProvisioningFlags:2028 YammerProvisioning ExchangeProvisioningFlags:227 ExchangeProvisioningFlags:481 ExchangeProvisioningFlags:2020 i found that from one drive they have option to create group even they don't have access to team or yammer. how we can find the exchange provisioning for this
- Thank you!
- Awesome Santosh!!
