Suppressing Text after New-DistributionList
I have a script which I am creating a distribution list (New-DistributionList). However, the format of the output gets screwed up when the following text appears:
New! Office 365 Groups are the next generation of distribution lists. Groups give teams shared tools for collaborating using email, files, a calendar, and more. You can start right away using the New-UnifiedGroup cmdlet.
How do you suppress this text? I tried to pipe it to out-null to no avail.

What you could do is to store the output in a variable, then output it with a small delay.

Each time I run it, I try to format the output, but the info for using groups keeps messing the output up.

I don't have the Cmdlet in front of me but that output could be minor warning message from the Cmdlet.
Trying adding in -warningaction 'silentlycontinue' *or* -informationaction silentlycontinue to see if that suppresses the message.
Silly question... what Colour is the message? (that can help identify the type of message)
RED = Error, YELLOW = Warning
If it's neither then it might just be information in which case ideally -informatinaction silentlycontinue should let you go on without being pestered.
