Professor PowerShell (POSH)-PowerShell Scripting Aid

Example

Creating a script to automate the creation of user accounts in Azure Active Directory.

Scenario

An IT administrator needs to bulk-create user accounts based on a CSV file input. POSH can guide the creation of a script that reads the CSV, validates the data, and uses Azure AD cmdlets to create each user account, applying best practices for error handling and logging.

Example

Identifying and fixing a script that fails to apply the correct licensing options to Microsoft 365 users.

Scenario

A script intended to assign licenses to a group of users in Microsoft 365 fails partway through. POSH can assist in debugging the script, highlighting common pitfalls such as API rate limits, improper error handling, or logical errors in license assignment logic.

Example

Developing a custom PowerShell function to report on OneDrive usage across an organization.

Scenario

An organization requires a detailed report of OneDrive usage to identify inactive accounts and optimize storage. POSH can help script a custom function that interfaces with Microsoft Graph API, collects usage data, and formats it into an actionable report.

Example

Scripting solutions to monitor and enforce compliance policies in Microsoft 365 environments.

Scenario

To ensure compliance with internal policies and external regulations, a compliance officer needs to automate the monitoring of email retention policies. POSH can guide in scripting a solution that uses the Security & Compliance Center cmdlets to audit and enforce these policies.
