This PowerShell module is highly experimental collection of PowerShell commands to help with Office 365 operations using undocumented and unsupported APIs (among standard graph API calls). While the module works just fine today, it may break in the future, as it's impossible to tell how and when Microsoft will update the APIs. As there are no other ways to achive most of the actions done by this module, it is what it is. You either do it via unsupported API or you're stuck using things manually.
This module wouldn't happen without great help from following people:
It is recommended to use PowerShell 7 or higher. While the module does work in PowerShell 5.1 the error handling of RestMethod is superior in PowerShell 7 so all errors are more readable in it.
Everyone can install this module from PowerShellGallery hosted by Microsoft. It's recommended way to work with the module. Version on PowershellGallery is optimized for speed and signed. Using code from GitHub is recommended for development.
Install-Module -Name O365Essentials -AllowClobber -ForceForce and AllowClobber aren't necessary, but they do skip errors in case some appear.
Update-Module -Name O365EssentialsThat's it. Whenever there's a new version, you run the command, and you can enjoy it. Remember that you may need to close, reopen PowerShell session if you have already used module before updating it.
The essential thing is if something works for you on production, keep using it till you test the new version on a test computer. I do changes that may not be big, but big enough that auto-update may break your code. For example, small rename to a parameter and your code stops working! Be responsible!
