In a previous blog post, I showed how to retrieve all the Microsoft Services FQDNs, ports, and IP-Addresses. Nice to know those in secure environments where not everything is allowed to go onto the internet, but how can you test if they are accessible? This blog post will show how to test most of these services using PowerShell.

Retrieve Email DNS records using PowerShell
I have been doing a lot of Exchange on-prem to Exchange Online migrations over the last few years, and because of that, I use mxtoolbox.com a lot for querying MX, SPF, DMARC, and DKIM records. Wouldn't it be convenient to get a simple overview of those records in a PowerShell function? This blog post will show you how 🙂
Retrieving all cmdlets and help URLs from the new Microsoft Graph API modules
Things are changing... The Azure AD and MSOL modules will be getting a deprecated status. This was initially set for June 2022 and postponed until after December 2022. It would be best if you started updating scripts, be prepared for that. In this blog post, I wanted to show you how to collect all the new cmdlets and their description, synopsis (A summary), and the help URL for more information.
Get 365 Service Health status using PowerShell and MS-Graph
We have all been there, you're working on something (Microsoft Endpoint Manager, for example), and things don't work like they are supposed to. Strange errors, you're starting to doubt yourself... And then you see something in your newsfeed (Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) that there's an issue and that Microsoft is working on it... You lost a few hours troubleshooting your issue. Wouldn't it be nice to get notified when starting PowerShell if there's an issue you should be aware of? This blog post will cover just that 🙂
Microsoft 365 License overview per user
You can add many licenses to your 365 tenant, but getting a good overview of all users' assigned licenses and what each license plan contains is challenging. I wrote a PowerShell script for that, and it outputs all the users with their assigned SKU (Short for Stock-Keeping-Unit, but in Microsoft terms, a license SKU predefines all the properties of a license, including Product/Version/Features) in a CSV file.
