The hosting venue has changed to serve you better.
As my kids are eager to tell me, I done messed up. 😉 One of my readers pointed out an oversight where a null variable may have been referenced–and it’s been corrected! H/T to @itpro_tipscom!

Just had this come up, so I thought I’d post it for whoever else needs to hear this. I can quickly think of three ways to do this: One using Outlook, one using PowerShell, and one using both.
Since you came to my blog, you’re probably most interested in figuring out how to get PowerShell to do the dirty work for you without interacting with the user. … [ Continue reading ]
Update (2021-04-22): I have updated the script link to go to the PowerShell Gallery: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Download-AllSPOFiles/
Update (2020-01-28): I have updated this script to include the -Force parameter for Get-PnpFile, allowing you to willy-nilly overwrite destination files.
Yesterday, I came across a request for a script or method to download all files from SharePoint Online.… [ Continue reading ]
An issue came up today for one of my customers–how to remove orphaned mailbox searches in Exchange Online. Apparently, they have about 300 mailboxes in this state. Oops.
So, in order to do this, you need to go through a handful of steps:
A few weeks ago, I ran into an issue with a customer. Scenario:
As expected, without a matching verified domain in the tenant, UPN suffixes in the tenant were actually set as @tenant.onmicrosoft.com. … [ Continue reading ]
Sometimes, your mind just gets to thinking about stuff you could have done better. Last night was one of those times.
I’d started building new lab environments for work, and decided to start pumping users into AD and syncing them to my test tenants. … [ Continue reading ]
One of my peers this week was looking for a script to help check global DNS resolution for particular records for both replication and geo-loadbalancing testing.
The record types and data he was looking for:
This is what I came up with, so maybe it can help someone else.… [ Continue reading ]
Yes, these seems like a silly feature to add (since you can just do a single identity from the haveibeenpwned.com website, buuuuuuuttttttttttt…..), I wanted to showcase the script’s versatility while at a customer, so I added this one on the fly today.… [ Continue reading ]
I hadn’t touched this one in a while, but a recent request from a customer had me checking in on it. I tidied it up (no one likes people staring at their dirty laundry), and updated the scripting to be more efficient. … [ Continue reading ]
One of my customers recently asked for a solution to checking a particular Microsoft Team multiple times a day for new channel additions. In their organization, someone is responsible for creating a new channel every time new item for review is published, and then all of the communications, files, and data related to that item is stored in that particular time.… [ Continue reading ]
If you’ve ever struggled to find out who your current session is logged in as when you connected to Office 365, here’s a tidbit to shed some light on it:
(Get-PSSession |?{$_.ComputerName -like “*outlook.com”})[0].RunSpace.ConnectionInfo.Credential.UserName
You can also use RunSpace.OriginalConnectionInfo.Credential.UserName. … [ Continue reading ]
This morning, looking for an answer to something, I stumbled across a question that seemed easy enough to fix: Is it possible to export the GAL from Outlook if I don’t have access to a server?
Yes, yes it is. Since we have the Power of Grayskul–err, PowerShell, at our disposal, we can manipulate Outlook to return this data to us. … [ Continue reading ]
One of the the things that we’ve learned about the cloud over the past few years is that you still need an environment (a utility server, an app server, a something) to run batch jobs and custom scripts against your environments. … [ Continue reading ]
Last week, I was working with a large government customer in a consolidated tenant (read: all agencies in a single, centrally-managed tenant). One of the questions that was presented was how to search and filter the audit log for entries relating to the following categories:
To that end, I based together this script. … [ Continue reading ]
While working on my last script, I was trying to figure out the best way to write the values stored in a hash table for the purposes of splatting out to a log file.
Consider:
$parameters = @{}
$parameters.Add("Parameter1","Value1")$parameters.Add("Parameter2","Value2")$parameters.Add("Parameter3","Value3")
I was using a modified version of my logging function, which is basically a wrapper for Add-Content with parameters for log detail/types, colors, and output display.… [ Continue reading ]
