I must admit that I am not knowledgeable on anything around containers. So I was very happy that we released a Docker image for the CLI for Microsoft 365. It sounded like a great excuse to start playing around with it. Running the image locally turned out to be straight forward. ...

Within the CLI for Microsoft 365 we use JMESPath write execute expressions against returned data. It is a great way to filter down a dataset. But it also has a somewhat steep learning curve, at least it did for me coming from a PowerShell world. So for the sake of time I captured some of my most used scenario’s. ...

Another post after blogging about Migration report with CLI for Microsoft 365. Same scenario, however this time I had to extract all external users from the environment. Having that overview we could reach out and see if they still needed access. Having insights into who accesses what information will help you in determining the best migrations strategy. ...

I love the Microsoft 365 ‘dev’ community, or probably should call it the Tech Community. After posting about Migration report with CLI for Microsoft 365 I got a comment from Barry Bokdam that he would love to get the last content modified date into the report.

Sometimes you need a quick report on your Microsoft 365 tenant. Recently I was asked to quickly report the number of sites to give a ‘guestimate’ on a tenant-to-tenant migration.

After the announcement by Microsoft 365 CLI: Run in Docker I decided it was time to learn a bit more on how it all works. The goal was to work with docker containers in an Azure Container Instance to see if we could run some of our ‘automation’ in a container in the cloud. ...

Sometimes you have these moments that it all comes together. During a recent call we had a customer who had some issues with one of its Flows. Due to licensing changes the flows where throttled. As a result, they have decided to migrate to Logic Apps for some more control. During this migration it turned out that some flows could not be exported to Logic Apps. ...

With working from home being the new normal I got a Stream Deck as Christmas present. Not quite sure if I need it still is a nice gadget. I spend some time setting it up during the holidays. During the setup I figured that one of the most common things I do during the day is switching between sharing my screen and writing code. ...

Last December the CLI for Microsoft 365 brainstormed some new ideas to drive adoption and to highlight some of the things we could do. One of the things that made sense of us was to engage a bit more on the socials. We wanted to not only highlight how well we are doing, but also share some of our commands. ...
