So connect to EXO and do Get-DistributionGroupMember -Identity -ResultSize unlimited | Measure-Object

I have seen this before.... The delay is expected and can be handled as I have covered in the past on here. How many accounts are being returned from that Get-distributiongroupmember?

Even the entire host name would not give anything away its shared with more than your tenant, not that it makes much difference to the error. Is this happening every time you run your script/ command? If its a script can you share the command/ script block that is actually being run at the time the exception is thrown?

Azure Key Vault it's points of pence to store secrets and is secured with your account password and MFA as well if your on that journey. Can be accessed programmatically and the PS team are working on PowerShell module to allow scripts to call the secrets.

unplug it that will sort it! :-P

https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/35642635-mute-channel-timer Looks like there is a few calls for this to be done, take a look and vote where appropriate. Some have said it should be an application side function but i would like to see it as a server side function as we could then administratively configure this when required via scripts.

Some useful info from the Exchange team on mailbox creation. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/exchange-team-blog/on-provisioning-mailboxes-in-exchange-online-when-in-hybrid/ba-p/1406335

Are you wanting it stop students from posting? mute on the chat just stops the notifications but the students will still be able to post to the team. As for scripting I have just had a real quick look and from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/graph-explorer nothing stands out so as the cmdlets leverage the Graph API i am inclined to say no (happy to be told otherwise)

Can you post/ send me the message trace and the header from a mail that has been sent to one of these teams that has failed please, i will see if i can make sense of it.

So expanded in mail status essentually means that the mail has hit a DL and has then been sent to the members of that DL, so in my mind without any digging or knowing anything about your own config the status would seem entirely plausible. Is the mail not being delivered to the recipients as you would expect?

If you are using O365 then you are already using Azure AD as this essentually underpins your O365 tenant and no the very idea is that you take the cloud that you need when you need. Using password hash sync into Azure is a good step as MS know how to spot hashes that are known to be compromised and other dodgy things that are happing out there in the wild. More than you will ever be able to do in your own bubble.

Ah small fry 15TB, we have a couple of PB of that kind of data kicking about! But like you would not want to be Re-ACLing any of it! Also the prospect of getting it wrong would send our compliance and continuity manager into a full on melt down. Good luck.

ALICE! :-p

Teams Live works well if you use teams that is... https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/get-started-with-microsoft-teams-live-events-d077fec2-a058-483e-9ab5-1494afda578a

I have never used Salamander but everyone on here says it a nice solution, We use MIM its free with our licencing from MS and this brings a whole host of other options for identity management. I have also in the past use PowerShell to do the bit from MIS to AD, personally if i was not using either of the above I would say use PowerShell to connect to your MIS solutions DB directly rather than exporting out to a file.

Yeah the savings are just not there and do not for one second think that your schools are saving money in not paying for supply as the government has said to schools if the agreement to have a supply teacher in was until the summer you have to continue to pay that supply teacher. Also if you have contracts for bin collections, cleaning services bus contracts so on and so forth all need to be serviced (although they should be some movement on both sides) Also most schools now are trying to find ways to minimise the spread of the virus so most of your schools will be looking for hand sanitizer dispensers and foam/ gel, maybe screens to put between desks all these are extra and will inevitably cost more than the savings..

Just on that if you declare a variable in the ISE you get no warning/ notification that you have not used it anywhere in your code, if you use VS Code then you do get that sort of information.

@2097 what @mavhc is saying is that in the code posted you are not actually doing anything with the $when var!

Some useful demos and intros into some of the new toys available.

@mavhc it's always useful to know the date that is 9999 days in the past, its recommended that you find that date in all the scripts you run. We are all doing these days get with the program son! :-p

If your teams don't have a coherent naming convention and it's all year 10 groups do you have a group that is already unique assigned to those year 10 groups? If so then we should be able to find the teams with a script. If not then you are going to have to try and find something that you can identify them by or its a hand ball job!

Not having the whole year 10 and 13 not being able to remember their user name, my 3 year old is able to remember her own initials and a number! As for having to look it up if that really is an issue well teachers take a register electronically and the samAccountName is reflected back in to the MIS system for every user, they are also in the GAL.

I am talking about the bit that has to be unique here samAccountName not the givenName or sn. The staff generally know who they have in their class and and we leverage groups to help with identifying class groups and the likes. The GAL displays the users names in the address book and we leverage some of the other attributes that are pulled into the GAL to help users find/ identify the people they are looking for. ~40k users in the directory staff and students are able to identify the user they are looking for with no issue.

Initials then a number so RLP12 could be one of my daughters usernames. Never understand the year of entry in a username, no need for it if you have your identity strategies in place.
