SDS Group cleanup issues

[Sheridan]

I needed to run our SDS Group Cleanup for our SDS/Salamander synch - I ran the report and checked everything in there was SDS generated and ran the group cleanup using the generated report. This ran for maybe 30 minutes and came back successful

 

However all the groups still showed in Teams admin, so I ran the report again - and 8 hours later the report is still being created! Something not right there I think

 

I take it this isn't a normal delay for group cleanup reports? I can't cancel or restart the report so I'm stuck and MS will take weeks to bumble through any support cases based on previous experience

Tried using the SDS cleanup earlier in the summer holidays and after 4 days gave up as it kept looping like you mentioned

 

Ended up doing a powershell archive of all the teams instead and worked first time, so guessing they broke something on the SDS page

Powershell is a backup option, but I’d only need to include SDS created groups

 

Do you have the powershell script available for me to have a look at?

You have the names from the cleanup tool, so no need to identify the SDS ones in Powershell as such.

 

Create a PS code per line in excel and copy down.

Sounds like the sds cleanup is a broken thing. I’ll try a script tomorrow but 2500 lines will take a bit of time!

How are they named? We have things like 23/24 at start of each team name when we create them so the script just searches for any team starting with that displayname to archive

 

Otherwise you can use the CSV and just filter it down by the fields/columns as normally SDS classes have extra fields that manual teams wouldn’t have

 

e.g.

 

Get-Team | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -like "23-24*" -and $_.Archived -eq $false} | Set-TeamArchivedState -Archived:$True

Is anyone else seeing an issue where they can't download the report CSV?

I'm clicking on the link and nothing's happening... Is there a Powershell command that accomplishes the same task?

I had a similar issue using Group Cleanup>Generate report here not working

 

But it did work just using the Group Report button

 

This was from classic view

 

I'm not sure about some of the other queries in this thread as I ran group cleanup a couple of weeks back without any issues, for the purposes of Salamander as OP suggests
