Connecting to multiple Microsoft services with the same session
Hi guys. Working on a script that needs to connect to ExchangeOnlineManagement, TeamsOnlineManagement, SharePointOnlineManagement.... The script will be used across many different tenants, and I also plan to make it publicly available, so 1) I don't really want to pre-configure some complicated key setup and 2) I don't really want to have login pop-ups over and over again... For ExchangeOnline, I learned (accidentally), if I do this: $upn = Read-Host -Prompt "input yer wahawha" Connect-ExchangeOnline -userprimaryname $upn Connect-IPPSsession -userprimaryname $upn And login to MY tenant, I don't get prompted for login. I think likely because my device is Entra-joined, and it's using my Microsoft account. But even if I use a different account, it will only prompt me once - reusing it for the other. This is great, and exactly how I wanted things to flow - but now I'm trying to do Connect-SPOService (sharepoint) and Connect-MicrosoftTeams... and while both of these are part of the tenant, they don't take the -userprimaryname param - so I can specify to use the account I'm logged into my PC with.. The end-goal is to have this script run with minimal user input. I've SORT OF found a workaround for SharePoint, where I can get the SharePointSite from ExchangeOnline, then modify it a bit and use it as input for Connect-SPOService... but Teams, while it doesn't have the URL param requirement, DOES prompt me to login again. Is there a way to use the existing session for either of these, like I've done with ExchangeOnline / IPPSSession? We have MFA enabled, though not required from within our company network - but when I try to use Get-Credential, it errors me out because it wants MFA.
PowerShell Script to Follow a SharePoint Site for a User
Good morning! I've been struggling with this for a while now. I've tried multiple scripts that are supposed to do this and run into many errors. I have a new script I found, which seems to mostly work, but it gives me this one error: Write-Error: Response status code does not indicate success: Forbidden (Forbidden). It looks like a permissions issue. I'm executing this in VSC, running under my user account, but when it connects to Graph, I'm authenticating it as my admin account, which has the following roles: I do realize how easy it is for users to follow a site, but this is one of those messed-up political situations, so I need a way to do this. After the error, it just hangs here: Add users to follow site(. [Adding user 'Ken Ce.] Here is the script I'm using: # Example: .\Add-FollowUserSite.ps1 -UsersMail "user1@[domain].com","user2@[domain].com","user3@[domain].com" -SitesUrl "https://[domain].sharepoint.com" [CmdletBinding()] param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true,HelpMessage="List of Users Mails")] [String[]]$UsersMail=@("user1@[domain].com","user2@[domain].com","user3@[domain].com"), [Parameter(Mandatory=$true,HelpMessage="List of SharePoint Url to follow")] [String[]]$SitesUrl=@("https://[domain].sharepoint.com") ) Begin{ # Validate Modules ffor Microsoft graph users exist if (Get-Module -ListAvailable -Name microsoft.graph.users) { Write-Host "Microsoft Graph Users Module Already Installed" } else { try { Install-Module -Name microsoft.graph.users -Scope CurrentUser -Repository PSGallery -Force -AllowClobber } catch [Exception] { $_.message } } # Validate Modules ffor Microsoft graph users exist if (Get-Module -ListAvailable -Name microsoft.graph.sites) { Write-Host "Microsoft Graph Sites Module Already Installed" } else { try { Install-Module -Name microsoft.graph.sites -Scope CurrentUser -Repository PSGallery -Force -AllowClobber } catch [Exception] { $_.message } } # Import Modules Microsoft.Graph.users and Microsoft.Graph.sites to be used Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.users Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.sites Write-Host "Connecting to Tenant" -f Yellow Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "Sites.ReadWrite.All", "User.Read.All" Write-Host "Connection Successful!" -f Green } Process{ $count = 0 $UsersMail | foreach { #Get user Graph properties $mail = $_ $user = Get-MgUser -ConsistencyLevel eventual -Count 1 -Search ([string]::Format('"Mail:{0}"',$mail)) $SitesUrl | foreach { #Get Site Graph properties $domain = ([System.Uri]$_).Host $AbsolutePath = ([System.Uri]$_).AbsolutePath $uriSite = [string]::Format('https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{0}:{1}',$domain,$AbsolutePath) $site = Invoke-MgGraphRequest -Method GET $uriSite #Create Body for Post request $body = @' { "value": [ { "id": "{$SiteID}" } ] } '@.Replace('{$SiteID}',$site.id) #Graph call that include user to follow site $uriFollow = [string]::Format('https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{0}/followedSites/add',$user.Id) #Include follow option from user to SharePoint Site try{ $response = Invoke-MgGraphRequest -Method POST $uriFollow -Body $body -ContentType "application/json" Write-Host "User '$($user.DisplayName)' is following site '$($AbsolutePath)'" -f Green } catch { Write-Error $_.Exception } } $count += 1 #progress bar Write-Progress -Activity 'Add users to follow site(s)' -Status "Adding user '$($user.DisplayName)' to follow sites...

Hello dear community, I am trying to update PTR records in my DNS manager using PowerShell script and I am using the below script, it works only when a reverse zone is already existing but I have a part of the code to create a reverse zone if doesn't exist.

Assigning a Manager with PowerShell Graph – Manager Not Found
Hi everyone, We are currently refactoring our PowerShell scripts to align with Microsoft's recommended standards. In our script that creates new users in Azure Active Directory (AAD) via Microsoft Graph, we’re having trouble assigning a manager to a new user. Whether we try using the manager’s object ID or email address, the manager is not found, and the assignment fails. Has anyone encountered this issue before? Is there something we might be doing wrong in how we’re referencing or assigning the manager? Thanks in advance for your help.Powershell - Change Intune Application Assignments
Hello, I'd like to bulk-edit a number of my Intune Win32 assignments. I've got ~30 applications to go through, but I've noted their AppIDs so it would be worth the time investment to find a working Powershell script to run this without having to manually edit each one. Below runs through Elevated Powershell without error, so I'd thought it was successful. Unfortunately nothing changes and assignments remain the same. I've cut down the number in this script and edited tenant-based ID's but practically-speaking this runs through fine. Can anyone advise? I'm new to powershell and basically relying on AI to help make them, or the occasional forum post I can find. # Install the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK if not already installed Install-Module Microsoft.Graph -Scope CurrentUser -Force # Import the Device Management module Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.DeviceManagement # Connect to Microsoft Graph Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "DeviceManagementApps.ReadWrite.All" # Retrieve all mobile apps $allApps = Get-MgDeviceAppManagementMobileApp # Filter for Win32 apps $win32Apps = $allApps | Where-Object { $_.'@odata.type' -eq '#microsoft.graph.win32LobApp' } # List of specific app IDs to target $specificAppIds = @( "ba5988e8-4hhe-4e99-9181-ff85ce589113", "d49dk602-5e02-4af3-b09c-d98d8edac8fb" ) # Filter the Win32 apps to only include the specific apps $targetApps = $win32Apps | Where-Object { $specificAppIds -contains $_.Id } # Define group IDs $requiredGroupId = "57ce1fb3-5f94-4287-8f0b-e2ed595ac900" # Replace with your actual required group ID $uninstallGroupId = "aq7a3571-7f71-4deb-8f81-289dfe38a2e6" # Replace with your actual uninstall group ID # Loop through each target app and update the assignment foreach ($app in $targetApps) { # Get the current assignments $assignments = Get-MgDeviceAppManagementMobileAppAssignment -MobileAppId $app.Id # Define the new assignments $requiredGroupAssignment = @{ "@odata.type" = "#microsoft.graph.mobileAppAssignment" target = @{ "@odata.type" = "#microsoft.graph.groupAssignmentTarget" groupId = $requiredGroupId } intent = "required" } $uninstallGroupAssignment = @{ "@odata.type" = "#microsoft.graph.mobileAppAssignment" target = @{ "@odata.type" = "#microsoft.graph.groupAssignmentTarget" groupId = $uninstallGroupId } intent = "uninstall" } # Add the new assignments to the existing assignments $updatedAssignments = $assignments + $requiredGroupAssignment + $uninstallGroupAssignment # Update the app assignments Update-MgDeviceAppManagementMobileAppAssignment -MobileAppId $app.Id -BodyParameter $updatedAssignments
Getting Teams meeting transcripts using Powershell with Graph API
I have set up an Enterprise App in Entra with the following API permissions: Microsoft.Graph OnlineMeetings.Read (Delegated) OnlineMeetings.Read.All (Application) User.Read.All (Application) Admin consent has been granted for the Application types. Below is the code snippet for getting the meetings: $tenantId = "xxxxxx" $clientId = "xxxxxx" $clientSecret = "xxxxxx" $secureSecret = ConvertTo-SecureString $clientSecret -AsPlainText -Force $psCredential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($clientId, $secureSecret) Connect-MgGraph -TenantId $tenantId -ClientSecretCredential $psCredential -NoWelcome $meetings = Get-MgUserOnlineMeeting -UserId "email address removed for privacy reasons" -All Connect-MgGraph is invoked without errors. I had verified this with Get-MgContext command. At line 10 I get this error: Status: 404 (NotFound) ErrorCode: UnknownError I don't know if this is means there was an error in the API call, or there were no records found (I do have Teams calls with transcripts though). I have tried changing the last line to (without -All): $meetings = Get-MgUserOnlineMeeting -UserId "my guid user id here" And I get this error: Status: 403 (Forbidden) ErrorCode: Forbidden Adding -All parameter results in this error: Filter expression expected - /onlineMeetings?$filter={ParameterName} eq '{id}'. I've done some searching but I haven't found any more information nor solution for this. I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!
Gui to deploy folder contents to multiple VMs
I am trying to improve imaging computers where I work. I need to create a gui for new hires since the imaging process is so complicated. I need the GUI to request necessary computer names that are being imaged and then copy files from a local workstation to the machines that are being imaged on the network that our technicians do not have physical access to. I have turned to Powershell for the solution in an attempt to improve on my knowledge which is basic really. Below is the code I have come up with so far. In this code I am getting the location of the file. I would rather copy the entire folder instead of the file but I couldnt find the code to do that. So, if that is possible please show me how. If not I figure I would have to save these imaging files to a ZIP file. Then I could maybe use this GUI I am working on to move the zip file to the remote computers. Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms # Create the form $form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form $form.Text = "File and Network Location Collector" $form.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(400, 200) # Create the label for file name $fileLabel = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label $fileLabel.Text = "File Name:" $fileLabel.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(10, 20) $form.Controls.Add($fileLabel) # Create the text box for file name $fileTextBox = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.TextBox $fileTextBox.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(100, 20) $fileTextBox.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(250, 20) $form.Controls.Add($fileTextBox) # Create the label for network location $networkLabel = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label $networkLabel.Text = "Network Location:" $networkLabel.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(10, 60) $form.Controls.Add($networkLabel) # Create the text box for network location $networkTextBox = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.TextBox $networkTextBox.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(100, 60) $networkTextBox.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(250, 20) $form.Controls.Add($networkTextBox) # Create the button to submit $submitButton = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button $submitButton.Text = "Submit" $submitButton.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(150, 100) $form.Controls.Add($submitButton) # Add event handler for the button click $submitButton.Add_Click({ $fileName = $fileTextBox.Text $networkLocation = $networkTextBox.Text [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("File Name: $fileName`nNetwork Location: $networkLocation") }) # Show the form $form.ShowDialog() In this portion of the code it is copying from one source to many locations. Thank you for any assistance as this would help my organization a lot. We are getting several new hires who are very new to the industry. This would be a huge blessing. Pardon the change in font size. It did that for no reason, its my first time using the blog, and there appears to be no way to change the sizes lol.

Hello! I've tried a couple of scripts I found and still cannot remove these computers from this one AD group. The script I'm currently using is: # Import the Active Directory module Import-Module ActiveDirectory # List of device names to be removed $computers = @( "machine1.domain1", "machine2.domain2" ) # Loop through each device name in the list foreach ($computer in $computers) { # Get the device object from Active Directory $computer = Get-ADComputer -Identity $computer -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue # Check if the device exists if ($computer) { # Remove the device from Active Directory get-adcomputer $computer | remove-adobject -recursive -Confirm:$false Write-Host "Removed device $computer from Active Directory." } else { Write-Host "Device $computer not found in Active Directory." } } The errors I get is the object cannot be found and it always lists Domain1. I'm pretty new to PS so would appreciate any guidance!
