A Teams external access whitelist controls the domains that users can connect to for federated chats. Organizations often limit federation using a whitelist to reduce the possibility of attacks through chat communications. This article explains how administrators can discover the set of domains users chat with by analyzing chat information using the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK.
The Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK uses a default enterprise app to hold its permissions. Over time, the SDK can accrue many permissions, so it's important to control interactive access to it.

After much humming and hawing, Microsoft reset the retirement date for several old Azure AD modules to March 30, 2024. The nine-month extension is there to help customers convert scripts to use the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK or Graph API requests. On the upside, the extra time is good as it creates space to migrate scripts. On the downside, there's still some challenges in converting from the old Azure AD modules.

It's great to be able to run Graph API requests in PowerShell scripts if everything goes right.

Our conclusion is that you'll probably end up using Send0-MgUserMail because it's easier to use.
Every month, Microsoft generates a new version of the Graph PowerShell SDK. And if you use the SDK with Azure Automation, you must update automation accounts with the new modules. That's a pain to do manually, but easy to automate with PowerShell as we explain here.
This article dives deep into using the SDK to perform common day-to-day tasks to manage users and groups through the Graph. Be on the look out for the next part of this series!
Everyone likes reports. Well, here's a PowerShell script to create a report of Exchange Online mailbox content. The script uses the Graph API to list every item more than a year old (you can remove the filter if you like) and creates an Excel workbook containing the data. What you do with the information afterwards is up to you!
A Unified Approach to Microsoft 365 management The Microsoft Graph API has been around for some time now and Microsoft is moving more management functions (such as License Management for Azure AD Accounts) to the platform.
