Microsoft Business Standard - Manage with PowerShell?

Hi,

 

Longtime Microsoft 365 admin but PowerShell & Azure newbie here. I have a need to to configure settings that only seem to be configurable via PowerShell (and not available in the Admin center GUI). However, everything I read seems to infer that PowerShell can be used just with Microsoft 365 Enterprise licenses. I would like to know whether PowerShell can be used with an organization that uses Business Basic and Business Standard licenses (Using Azure CloudShell and an Azure storage account)?

 

Thank you!

  • Harm_Veenstra Thank you so much! That answers my question. Ok, I will research how to get PowerShell setup, as I think that's the other part I am missing.

  • You can use PowerShell with any license, with no limitations other than that you can't configure some options you're not licensed for. And if you have an Azure Subscription, you can use that to store the Azure CloudShell profile and files
