Automating Microsoft 365 with PowerShell Second Edition
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/Reporting Authentication Method Usage Data via the Graph
Three new Graph API resources provide easy access to Entra ID authentication method summary usage data. The information is helpful to understand the type of sign-ins that happen, and the authentication methods used by user connections. The article includes a script based on the MFA sign-in summary to highlight non-MFA connections and the apps users connect to. https://office365itpros.com/2025/08/21/authentication-methods-graph/Creating Dynamic Microsoft 365 Groups without Entra P1 Licenses
Dynamic Microsoft 365 Groups come with many advantages, but they also require Entra P1 licenses. This article explores how to create and maintain a DIY version of dynamic Microsoft 365 groups using the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK and Azure Automation. At the end of the day, the principle is proven, but maybe it's best to pay for the licenses. https://practical365.com/diy-dynamic-microsoft-365-group/Maintaining a Microsoft 365 Retention Policy with PowerShell
The Connect-IPPSSession cmdlet is needed to connect to the Security and Compliance endpoint to update a Microsoft 365 retention policy. Unhappily, the Security and Compliance module doesn’t support managed identities, which makes it harder to run Connect-IPPSSession securely in an Azure Automation runbook. In the end, we use a credential stored in the automation account. And then we had to disable WAM. All explained here. https://office365itpros.com/2025/08/12/connect-ippssession-azure/How Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK Access Tokens Work
If you use the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK, you don’t need to worry about obtaining an access token because SDK cmdlets include automatic token management. Although you don’t need to know the details of the access token used in an SDK session, it’s possible to find and examine its contents, and even use the token with a Graph request. Knowing the details of the access token is something that you’ll probably never need in practice, but good to know none the same. https://office365itpros.com/2025/08/04/access-token-graph-sdk/

Extend M365 Archive Quota capacity
In my organization, we are currently on the O365 E5 License with default 100GB mailbox size per user and 1.5TB archive quota. However, due to organizational policy and regulatory requirements, we are expected to keep all the data from inception. Hence, the requirement for a solution to extend our archive size from 1.5TB. From the official Microsoft documentation, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/exchange-online-archiving-service-description/exchange-online-archiving-service-description#archive-storage-quota the maximum expansion of the archive mailbox is 1.5TB. Is it possible to extend the archive storage to an Azure blob? Like an automated script that moves the data from the Archive mailbox for each user to the Azure blob or any other storage service that does not have storage size limitation. I am open to suggestions. Thanks
