The Office 365 for IT Pros team are thrilled to announce the availability of Automating Microsoft 365 with PowerShell (2nd edition). This completely revised 350-page book delivers the most comprehensive coverage of how to use Microsoft Graph APIs and the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK with Microsoft 365 workloads (Entra ID, Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Teams, Planner, and more). Existing subscribers can download the second edition now free of charge. https://office365itpros.com/2025/06/30/automating-microsoft-365-with-powershell2/Why Entra ID attributes don’t always appear on Microsoft 365 profile cards
While working with Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft 365 profile cards, I ran into a behavior that often causes confusion: attributes like EmployeeType can exist in Entra ID and Microsoft Graph, yet not appear consistently on Microsoft 365 profile cards. This post breaks down why this happens, what’s actually happening behind the scenes, and what you can realistically expect when working with profile card attributes in real environments. Profile cards should be treated as a presentation layer, not a guaranteed real-time reflection of every Entra ID attribute. If you’ve seen similar behavior with other attributes or workloads, I’d love to hear how you’ve approached it in your environments.Generate a Weekly Report of Role Assignments
This article explores how to use Entra ID audit records to create a weekly report about role assignment additions and deletions. After deciphering the information contained in the audit records, it’s easy to generate a report showing who made the assignments and if any critical role assignments are in the mix. We can then email the report to interested parties, all with some relatively simple PowerShell. https://office365itpros.com/2026/01/21/role-assignment-weekly-report/Practical Graph: Find Large Mailbox Items with the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK
Server-side filtering is always best when PowerShell retrieves items from the server. In this article, we explore how to construct a server-side filter to find large mailbox items over a certain threshold. The answer lies in filtering against an old Outlook property. The Graph represents the property through the single value extended property resource. But how do you filter against such a thing? https://practical365.com/find-large-mailbox-items/How to Create SharePoint Sites with the Graph API
Microsoft released the beta version of the SharePoint Online create Site API for the Microsoft Graph in late November 2025. Since then, Microsoft has dropped one of the three site templates. Playing with the API, we’ve discovered that the API can certainly create sites but that the SharePoint Graph API misses a heap of features, like adding members to the new site. Oh well, one step forward… https://office365itpros.com/2026/01/19/create-site-api-spo/Some Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK Cmdlets Lose Body Parameters
A change made for some Directory Graph APIs has flowed through to the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK and affected how the associated cmdlets work, including the beta cmdlet to restore a deleted user account and while replacing the user principal name. Fortunately, the workaround is easy, but it is upsetting when something that worked suddenly doesn’t, even if it is a beta cmdlet. https://office365itpros.com/2026/01/16/restore-deleted-user-account-sdk/Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK V2.34 Makes WAM the Default
The Web Account Manager (WAM) authentication broker becomes the default method for handling interactive Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK connections from V2.34 onwards. The rapid release of a new version (V2.33 appeared 12 days beforehand) is usually a sign of a big problem, but in this case the reason is more likely to be a security vulnerability that’s just come to light. We’ll find out after the holidays. We've released V19.1 of the Automating Microsoft 365 with PowerShell eBook (the advantage of ePublishing) to keep track with developments. https://office365itpros.com/2025/12/23/web-account-manager-graph-sdk/
Resource not found while trying to access the available resource
I am attempting to automate CRUD operations on Microsoft Entra objects using the Microsoft Graph API. However, I am encountering a Resource not found error when accessing a resource programmatically, even though the same resource is accessible without issue when invoking the API endpoint via Postman.
