The script for this post is available at https://github.com/jmattmacd/Microsoft365-Management-PowerShell-Profile
I use Powershell ISE for everything, even running single lines. I have my environment set up with a profile which checks the module installation and update version on every load.
It does however enforce a new mfa session for every connect- verb
When I start my powershell ISE environment I see this:
Running Profile...
----------------------
Checking for Modules...
Az (Azure) Module found - Version 4.2.0
AzureAD Module found - Version 2.0.2.76
MSOL Module found - Version 1.1.183.17
Exchange V2 Module found - Version 1.0.1
Teams Module found - Version 1.0.24
SkypeOnlineConnector Module not found.
Some Teams functionality is still controlled via the skype module
It is old and shit so needs to be installed from:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39366
Then imported with:Import-Module SkypeOnlineConnector
----------------------
Notes
To Update all Modules run Update-AllModules
EXO V2 uses Connect-ExchangeOnline and the Get-EXO styleprefix
Use-EXO will connect to exchange with user context allowing token refresh

PS C:\Users\matt>This just checks the installed version, if its run on a machine without the module installed it prompts to install it, auto-escalating a powershell script to do so.
I find it hugely useful, in order to use it you can just open Powershell ISE and run “notepad $profile” to open your current profile in notepad then copy the contents below in and save it. restart PowershellISE and it will run that script at every log in.
It makes start up a little slower but massively speeds up everything else as you know the module and versions installed and can get the others very quickly.
Because I needed some cmdlets in the newer teams modules it also includes instructions to register the PoshTestGallery as a package source
#teams new module is on posh
#Register-PackageSource -Name PoshTestGallery -Location https://www.poshtestgallery.com/api/v2/ -ProviderName PowerShellGet
