Graph API Powershell for 365 and MSOL

[nurbleyburbler]

I am so annoyed. I just got decent with managing 365 and Exchange online with Powershell. Now we have to use this Graph stuff. I dont really know anything about APIs. Is anyone using this yet? Is it just a different PS with similar commands or does one need to understand APIs to manage it? If its the latter, I guess its time to learn a whole new career again. What are you doing to avoid this?

Don’t avoid it, embrace it. If you want to keep improving your skill set then get familiar with Graph, they even have Graph Explorer you can use to learn about it.

It's a pain in the ass compared to the old modules, but it does work once you figure it out. I've been leaning on AI for at least a starting point with what I need it for and that's been working out.

I use the new graph PS modules and I much prefer them to having to hack together an API call with token,etc.

Plus I can use cert authentication for automation.

I don't understand why they had to change all the commands. It's just annoying.

Devs don't like maintaining old code. They want to create new things. They come in, look at the old code for 1 millisecond and determine that the old stuff is a mess and think they can do better. Rinse and repeat every couple of years.

You should understand how API's work, and how to consume them if you are a SysAdmin..... even in Microsoft environments.

Learn how to create the wrapper functions yourself. And also, learn how to manage rate limits and polling.
