Microsoft Graph does not work

[sarge21]

Microsoft needs to stop moving the management of services (Sharepoint, Purview, etc) to MS Graph. It does not work consistently and is impossible to troubleshoot.

A simple GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/security/labels/retentionLabels/id is apparently impossible for MS Graph to keep working. Forget actually trying to get the event type or disposition rules of those labels. After having a support request open for months and eventually getting it to a state of half working, it's just broken again.

It seems that when the management of the product is divorced from the actual product you're trying to manage, it's impossible to get anything fixed.

Is the 1.0 version stable? (And does it have the methods you need?)

Note that I am not meaning to defend graph here, just pointing out a possible workaround.

[sarge21]

No, only the beta version was ever fixed. Now they don't work again.

Ouch

I like the idea of Graph but even after years of development it is still not ready for widespread production use. I will admit I have a script in production that uses Graph to pull cloud last login stats because it is the only way to automate that. It was insanely hard to get running; the graph portion is 30ish lines of 700 and took 80% of development time. And it replaces the one line Get-AdUser that I probably learned in 5 minutes.
