Have you installed Microsoft.Graph.Authentication 2.27.0? Could you run Get-MgUser or Get-MgGroup now?

Thanks for posting this. I didn't know the info was not under NDA anymore.

Unfortunately, Graph #PowerShell SDK remains buggy.
They're (kind of) fixing #Azure Automation. Support for PowerShell 7.4 (the LTS release) is long overdue. And let's not forget the never-ending preview of the Automation Runtime environment feature. Azure Automation still feels like abandonware.

It looks like many #PowerShell users in my Bluesky bubble have downloaded Warp for Windows (@warp.dev). It seems very promising, and I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by its features and capabilities.

Do you know any documentation that explains it? Everything I found only mentioned guest users.

Why is it possible to assign a sponsor to a member user when the sponsor's purpose is to be responsible for a guest user?

A couple of years ago, Microsoft had several problematic releases of #Azure #PowerShell. Customers were seriously unhappy, sought alternative solutions, and it took Microsoft years to rebuild trust.

You would think they had learned their lesson.

The ConsistencyLevel=eventual header does not ensure that data is "accurate and up to date." It redirects (together with $count=true) queries to an indexed directory store, allowing for more efficient searches on large datasets.

4. Assign newly created custom Runtime environment to your runbooks that stopped working after you updated to #MicrosoftGraph #PowerShell 2.26.

1. Select Overview and then select Try Runtime environment experience.
2. Under Process Automation, you will get the Runtime Environments (Preview)
3. Create a new RE. Pick PowerShell 7.4 as runtime version and add needed Microsoft Graph PowerShell v2.26 modules as packages. 2/n

#MicrosoftGraph #PowerShell SDK team has released version 2.26 that can not run in PowerShell 7.2, the default runtime version in Azure Automation service.

A workaround is to enable Runtime environment experience (in public preview) and create a custom Runtime environment. 1/n

"Security is a priority" somehow missed the Update-MgUserPassword command.
-CurrentPassword and -NewPassword expect a string value.

In #PowerShell, #MicrosoftGraph object's properties returned by Get-Member are direct properties or relationships. Could you tell them apart?

Move your bio slide to the end. By then, people will know whether they want to get in contact with you.

How can you get the number of returned resources using the `az resource list` command? It seems the `length` function isn't working.

This is a perfect job for an Azure Resource Graph query.

When you talk about access control, do you make a difference between "app permissions" and "app privileges"?
