Learn and Master PowerShell with the two new learning paths at Pluralsight
If you’ve followed this blog for a while, you know that I am a huge fan of Pluralsight for their content, and that I also create courses with them! One of the amazing things that Pluralsight created in the last year is learning paths, here is how they define a learning path:
It can be tough to know where to start learning. Paths combine specific courses and tools into one experience to teach you any given skill from start to finish. Paths are aligned to an individual’s knowledge level, to help you and your team develop the right skills in the right order.
Basically, it’s hand-picked courses on a certain topic, that will allow you to master a skill! Not only that, but they also have the Skill IQ, which is a quick test that will evaluate you on the subjects covered in that path, and tell you exactly what your strong points, and weak points are! It’s really a new learning experience that I love!
Back to PowerShell! In the past month, Pluralsight has released two new learning paths for PowerShell! The first one is called Windows PowerShell: Essentials and as the name says, after you finish this path, you should have the knowledge to create basic PowerShell scripts, handle errors, and automating processes! The path is made up of 6 courses, for a total of 16 hours of content! I have listened to most of the courses, and believe me, even as someone who does PowerShell almost daily, you will learn something! You can find the path over here: https://spvlad.com/PSEssentials
The next path is a more advanced one and it’s called Windows PowerShell: Scripting and Toolmaking . This path is longer, with 30 hours of content split up in 13 courses, this path covers some advanced topics, but knowing them will really take your scripts, and productivity to the next level! Here are some of the topics covered:
Toolmaking fundamentals
Building advanced PowerShell functions and modules -Best practices for PowerShell usage
Reporting with PowerShell HTML
Debugging PowerShell in VS Code
Getting a grasp of PowerShell remoting fundamentals
Accessing SQL Server databases with PowerShell
Building PowerShell GUIs in WPF
Testing PowerShell with Pester
Utilizing Windows Workflows with PowerShell
As always, Pluralsight content is created by the best in the industry, and the list of Authors below should speak for itself!
Check out the paths at the following links, and make sure you share your experience in the comments!

What does an Intranet need to be relevant in the Digital Workplace?
Over the last decade, the Intranet was the location that employees opened every day (often because IT forced it as their home page) to find information about the latest company news, learn about new hires, and find information needed for their day to day job. While Intranets were what everyone was talking about 5-6 years ago, the focus has switched to more than the Intranet, we’re now talking about the Digital Workplace! With all the tools like Yammer, Microsoft Teams, and Team News in Office 365, does the intranet still have a role in Office 365?
What does an Intranet need to be relevant today?
As organizations are upgrading their Intranets either on-premises, or in the cloud, in my opinion, a modern Intranet needs to have the following functionalities. Screenshots from this blog are from an Intranet built with Valo Intranet, however the general principles apply to any Intranet that you build on Office 365.
Accessible from everywhere, on every device
Work is not only done from the office anymore; modern workers need to have access to their Intranet from where ever they are, and on whatever device they might have with them at that moment. While the cloud makes the Accessible from everywhere part a lot easier, but there are still too many Intranets out there that do not work well on smaller devices such as mobile phones, or that links on the home page you need to hover over even on an iPad to access the tool underneath. (PS: Try hovering over a menu with an iPad, it doesn’t really work).
Taking this further, the Intranet shouldn’t only be accessible via the browser, and needing to remember a URL, Intranets should be an app, directly on the user’s mobile device, making it as easy as possible for users to see what are the latest news inside the company, and to access the tools they need to do their job.
Integrating the full suite of Office 365 Applications
We all know that Office 365 provides us more choice than ever before in how we want to work, in order to be more productive. While five years ago, SharePoint used to be the hub of everything from managing tasks, documents, workflows, videos, social, and more, Microsoft is slowly creating dedicated apps that do each of those tasks better and offer more functionality. The downside is that users must now go to ten different applications every day to achieve their daily tasks, and stay up to date on everything, which is almost impossible. A modern Intranet should not only be a place for news and policies, it should embed the rest of your Office 365 tools where it makes sense. In the figure below, you can see Delve, Office 365 Video, and Yammer being integrated in on an Intranet home page.
If the tool you use to book a meeting from is in PowerApps, and you want to refer to it from your Intranet, don’t just tell people to go to the PowerApps portal or their phone to book a meeting, embed that PowerApps directly inside an Intranet page, which allows users to do more in the Intranet, and allows you to provide extra content such as related documents, and guidelines as you can see in the example below.
Your Intranet should always have something new
Imagine going on Facebook, or on Instagram and not seeing anything new… you wouldn’t go there much would you? It’s the same thing for the intranet, you need to make sure that your intranet always has new content for your users to read. That doesn’t mean you need to invent a new policy every day, a successful Intranet aggregates content both from your internal, and external communications to bring it alive. Let’s look at some ideas!
Bring your Social Media Presence inside your intranet
Your Marketing & Communication team is probably spending multiple hours every week on making sure your social media identities such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram are up to date with the latest news about the company, promotions for clients and news about the industry. Employees don’t have time to go on 5 different social media networks to see what your company is sharing externally, so why not bring social media inside the Intranet? This will not only allow management to have a quick overview on what the organization is doing on social media, but it will also allow your employees, who are your biggest brand ambassadors, to quickly reshare and amplify it with their own audience.
Industry News
Even if your organization only works from 9 to 5, news from your industry come out at every time of the day, and night. Why not share the news from the industry directly on the Intranet home page to always have interesting content for your employees to read? In the next figure, you can see an Intranet homepage with an Industry news webpart that pulls news automatically from an RSS feed.
Internal Blogs
While internal blogging is not in every organization’s culture, it can provide a great way for employees to share best practices with each other and increase the collective knowledge of the company. One way to start using blogs internally, is to replace the internal company wide e-mails like “CEO’s week in review” by a blog! One of the goals of the Digital Workplace is to reduce the number of e-mails, and replacing executive newsletters that are originally sent by e-mails, with a blog that appears on the home page is a great way to achieve that goal!
Intranets should include collaboration as well
As employees are working on multiple teams, and projects, it’s becoming more and more complicated for them to keep up to date with all of their sites. Wouldn’t it be great if your Intranet also helped you collaborate easier? Since your intranet is the door to your Digital Workplace, which includes all your collaboration sites, it’s important for the intranet to provide a portal, or an easy way for users to access their collaboration sites as well.
Transparency and two-way communications
Intranets are not only one-way communication streets anymore, and, like Facebook, users want to be able to like News, comment on them and give their opinions on the news inside your Intranet! Not only this will increase employee happiness, but it will also make employees want to come back later on to that same news, to see what their colleagues think as well!
Another idea for users to participate, and not only consume your intranet is an ideation / idea management tool inside your Intranet. Instead of submitting your ideas by e-mail, where they are hidden from other employees, you can create a system where everyone can enter ideas, and view, comment, and like ideas by other people inside the company.
By having an open Idea Management system, you allow employees to view the progress of their ideas, as well as allow other employees to add comments on certain ideas with their own experience, and thoughts, enabling that co-innovation inside the company by using all your resources!
Conclusion
With the rise of the Digital Workplace buzzword, people do not talk about Intranets as much as they did, even if they are still a critical tool inside your digital workplace toolkit. A well-built intranet that integrates your Digital Workplace toolkit, is accessible from everywhere, and allows employees to contribute will become the front door to your Digital Workplace toolkit, and users will go to it multiple times per day to see the latest news, events and quickly access their collaboration sites.

Exchange Online PowerShell Module Error: Application Cannot be Started – Contact the Application Vendor
While doing a workshop about PowerShell for Office 365 recently, and working with the Exchange Online PowerShell Module, which is needed to authenticate to Exchange Online with MFA , a lot of my students have hit the following error: Application cannot be started. Contact the application vendor.
Even if the Details tab don’t say much, this is an easy fix! This is happening only when downloading the Exchange Online PowerShell Module by using Chrome or Firefox, so the fix is simple: Use Internet Explorer to download the Exchange Online PowerShell Module! That’s it!
PS: If you want to know how to connect to all Office 365 using Multi Factor Authentication, check out this blog: Connecting to all Office 365 Services with PowerShell and Multi Factor Authentication

Resources to learn PowerShell for Office 365
I’ve been a big fan of PowerShell for Office 365 for a while now, and with new features coming out in Office 365 that are only configurable by PowerShell, it’s more important than ever to be able to at least master the basics, but you absolutely need to know PowerShell for Office 365 in order to have full control of your tenant.
Jeffrey Snover, creator of PowerShell and Technical Fellow at Microsoft explains it in a more direct way
GUI-only admins cannot create tools to increase productivity/quality and make others more productive. https://t.co/hFnClo1eLs
— Jeffrey Snover (@jsnover) March 29, 2018
When someone answered that their clients do not listen, he was pretty direct with his reply.. you need to learn PowerShell to stay relevant , and even more important to learn it as an Office 365 admin.
We’ll just remember to be kind when ordering a cheeseburger from them in a couple of years.

Find all the Office 365 Groups a user is a Member of with PowerShell
Whether you want to do some reports or debugging, you might need to quickly find out what Office 365 Groups a user is a member or Owner of! You could go in the user’s profile, see all the groups, find out which ones are Security, which ones are Distribution Groups, and which ones are Office 365 Groups. or you could do an easy PowerShell cmdlet!
Since we will be playing with Exchange Online, you first need to connect to Exchange!
$cred = Get-Credential$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powersh... -Credential $cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $Session
Next up, I will save the E-mail of the person I am looking for in a variable called UserEmail, and use the GetMailbox cmdlet to save the Mailbox object of that user in a variable called Mailbox.
$UserEmail= "Jeff.Collins@globomantics.org"
$Mailbox = Get-Mailbox | Where {$_.PrimarySmtpAddress -eq $UserEmail}
After we have this information, we can use the Get-UnifiedGroup PowerShell cmdlet, together with the Get-UnifiedGroupLinks cmdlet to find which groups this user is a member of!
To find all the Office 365 Groups a user is a member of, we would use the following cmdlet:
We then have all those groups stored in a variable, and we can use them as we wish inside PowerShell!
To find all the Office 365 Groups a user is an owner of, we would use the following cmdlet:
As you see, the only thing that changed is the -LinkType parameter from Members to Owners! We now also have all those groups stored in a variable to use as we wish in PowerShell!

Whether you want to do some reports or debugging, you might need to quickly find out what Distribution Groups a user is a member of! You could go in the user’s profile, see all of the groups , find out which ones are Security, which ones are Distribution Groups.. or you could do an easy PowerShell cmdlet!
Since we will be playing with Exchange Online, you first need to connect to Exchange!
$cred = Get-Credential$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powersh... -Credential $cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection

Next up, I will save the Username of the person I am looking for in a variable called Username
$Username = "Jeff.Collins@globomantics.org"And then, I will use this cmdlet which will get all the Distribution Groups in my tenant, and then find the ones where my username is in the members! (This assumes your e-mail address is the same as the username! If that’s not the case, you can simply put the e-mail in the UserName variable and it will work!)
$DistributionGroups= Get-DistributionGroup | where { (Get-DistributionGroupMember $_.Name | foreach {$_.PrimarySmtpAddress}) -contains "$Username"}You can now either Display it , or do another action such as removing the user from all of them!
That’s it! As you see this is really an quick and easy PowerShell snippet!

Connecting to all Office 365 Services with PowerShell and Multi Factor Authentication
You cannot have full control of your Office 365 tenant, if you do not know how to use PowerShell for Office 365, since there are a ton of configurations, and settings that are only configurable via PowerShell, and not via the Office 365 Admin Center! Not to mention, all the automation capabilities that PowerShell allows you to script, so you save time and money. Since most accounts admin accounts are (or should be) configured with Multi Factor Authentication, here is a small guide on how to connect to all the Office 365 services with PowerShell and Multi Factor Authentication enabled!
Azure Active Directory
Once you have the Azure Active Directory module installed, connecting with Multi Factor Authentication is done by specifying the AccountId parameter, and not a full credential object as we would do with single factor authentication. This will Open up a window, asking you to enter the password for that account, and then your second authentication method as seen below.
Connect-AzureAD -AccountId jeff.collins@globomantics.org
SharePoint Online
When we connect to SharePoint Online using PowerShell, we use the Connect-SPOService cmdlet as usual as well as the URL parameter, which is the URL of your SharePoint Online Admin Center, and simply skip specifying the -Credentials parameter. This will open a pop-up window asking for our credentials, as well as the second method of Authentication as you can see below!
Connect-SPOService -Url https://.sharepoint.com
Exchange Online
While the previous two were easy, this one is a bit more complicated since we need to download a module, whereas to connect with Single Factor Authentication there is nothing to download! From the Exchange Online Admin Center, go to the Hybrid section, and click on Configure under the Exchange Online PowerShell module.
You need to do this with Internet Explorer, or else you will be getting a beautiful “Application Cannot Be Started” error as we talked about in this blog! Exchange Online PowerShell Module Error: Application Cannot be Started – Contact the Application Vendor
Once you have the Exchange Online Module, you need to use the Connect-EXOPSSession PowerShell cmdlet, and specify the user account that you will be connecting with.
Connect-EXOPSSession -UserPrincipalName jeff.collins@globomantics.org
If you are in Office 365 Germany, you need to provide a few more parameters, as seen in the following example.
Connect-EXOPSSession `-UserPrincipalName jeff.collins@globomantics.org `
-ConnectionUri https://outlook.office.de/PowerShell-... `
-AzureADAuthorizationEndPointUri https://login.microsoftonline.de/common
Office 365 Security and Compliance Center
To connect to the Office 365 Security and Compliance Center with Multi Factor Authentication, you need the same PowerShell module as Exchange Online, about which we talked earlier, but you will be using the Connect-IPPSSession PowerShell cmdlet as seen in the following example.
Connect-IPPSSession -UserPrincipalName jeff.collins@globomantics.orgIf you are part of Office 365 Germany, you will need to provide the additional parameters seen below.
Connect-IPPSSession `-UserPrincipalName jeff.collins@globomantics.org `
-ConnectionUri https://ps.compliance.protection.outl... `
-AzureADAuthorizationEndPointUri https://login.microsoftonline.de/common
Skype for Business
To connect to Skype for Business Online using Multi Factor Authentication , you need to use the New-CSOnlineSession PowerShell cmdlet
$Session = New-CsOnlineSession -UserName jeff.collins@globomantics.orgImport-PSSession $Session
Microsoft Teams
To Connect to Microsoft Teams, you use the Connect-MicrosoftTeams PowerShell cmdlet, and specify the -AccountID parameter. Similar to the other services, you will get a prompt asking you to input your password, and second method of authentication.
Connect-MicrosoftTeams -AccountId jeff.collins@globomantics.org
That is it, we have now looked at how to connect to all Office 365 Services, using PowerShell and Multi Factor Authentication!
