Tenant Graph for Visualizing Intune and Entra Relationships
+ 3 Big Demos from the PS Community Call
Microsoft Ships DSC 3.3.0, Jorge Suarez Ships Tenant Graph for Visualizing Intune and Entra Relationships
Fellow PowerShell MVP Jorge Suarez of IntuneHydrationKit fame shipped Tenant Graph, a free open source web app that renders Intune and Entra ID assignments as an interactive Three.js topology. Sign in with Microsoft Entra to search across users, devices, groups, apps, policies, and Conditional Access, with a Readable Mode that explains relationships in plain language and an admin impact panel for blast radius. The sample tenant at tenantgraph.com lands you in a Lumon themed demo with no auth required, so you can poke around before granting delegated Graph scopes against production.

Three big demos from the June PowerShell Community Call
Jason Helmick called the June PowerShell Community Call the summer edition, and what showed up was about as loaded a single hour as the call has run in a while. The PSConfEU recap took a few minutes. The servicing updates and a real warning about Azure AD Graph traffic took a few more. The Az PowerShell team showed off a login flow improvement that quietly fixes a problem every enterprise administrator has hit. And then three demos landed back to back to back, each of which would have been a headline in any other month. If you only have time to watch one segment of the recording, watch the demos. If you have time for the whole thing, the housekeeping is genuinely worth it this time.
Microsoft Ships DSC 3.3.0-preview.3 with New Windows Resources and Server Mode
Steve Lee dropped DSC 3.3.0-preview.3 on Wednesday with a handful of changes worth your attention. The build adds a Microsoft.Windows/WindowsFeatureList resource from Gijs Reijn for managing optional Windows features through DSC, plus a new Registry Adapter and Microsoft.Windows/Personalization resource that lets you target the registry for personalization configuration without writing a custom resource. Steve also renamed the previous MCP mode to Server mode, which is a cleaner name now that the protocol has settled into the broader tooling ecosystem. PSAdapter got two notable fixes from Steve, one for stream event tracing and one for modules with ScriptsToProcess that used to break. If you are testing DSC v3 in production, this is the preview to pull this weekend.

Andrew Pla and Leo D’Arcy Make the Case for Code Signing in CI/CD
My good friend Andrew Pla sat down with UK based cloud solutions architect Leo D’Arcy on The PowerShell Podcast for a candid conversation on Active Directory Certificate Services, code signing, and why so many organizations get PKI spectacularly wrong. The practical takeaway is the argument for adding a code signing step to your CI/CD pipeline as a scalable alternative to constrained language mode, which gives you cryptographic proof that scripts have not been tampered with without giving up flexibility. Leo runs the Remote Access User Group community on Discord and is a repeat PSConfEU speaker, so the conversation also ranges into the developer mindset taking over IT and why being able to talk networking with network engineers and business outcomes with leadership is the real career multiplier.
Automating Microsoft 365 with PowerShell 3rd Edition Ships
Tony Redmond and the Office 365 for IT Pros team published the third edition of Automating Microsoft 365 with PowerShell on Tuesday. The new edition runs 431 pages across eight chapters and is available now in EPUB and PDF from Gumroad, with the paperback landing on Amazon July 1. Coverage spans the base Microsoft 365 workloads, the Graph PowerShell SDK, Entra ID administration, workload automation, and the management APIs for sign in logs and audit data. The book comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 for IT Pros 2027 edition that also drops July 1, and current subscribers have already received the renewal code. If you write PowerShell for Microsoft 365 every day, this is the one to have on your desk.

Microsoft Graph SDK V2.38 and Exchange Online Module Refuse to Get Along
Tony Redmond writes that the newest Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK at V2.38 and the latest Exchange Online Management module are not playing nicely together, and the situation is getting worse rather than better. Loading both into the same session leads to assembly version conflicts that break authentication or cmdlet behavior in ways that are not always obvious until your script halts mid run. Tony goes through the workarounds, including running the two modules in separate sessions, and uses the post to highlight two cmdlets he discovered along the way that most administrators have probably never used. Worth a read before you trust a hybrid script in production.

Find Inactive Teams Channels with Graph PowerShell
Tenants accumulate inactive Teams channels the same way garages accumulate cardboard. Tony Redmond walks through a PowerShell approach for finding channels that nobody has touched in months using the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK. The script pulls channel metadata, checks the last activity date, and gives you a sorted list of candidates to either archive or remove. What you do with the output is your call, but having a defensible list before the next governance review is a good start. Pair this with Tony’s deleted Teams chat threads piece from last week for a fuller Teams hygiene toolkit.

Andres Bohren Ships M365 Service Monitor PowerShell 1.7
Andres Bohren updated his M365 Service Monitor script to version 1.7 this week with two practical fixes worth picking up. The June 17 patch fixed the modern HTML rendering for Outlook classic, which was breaking the dashboard for anyone still on the legacy client. The June 14 patch fixed path issues that tripped scheduled runs and added the date to the HTML output so you can see at a glance when the report last ran. The script polls the Service Communications API and produces a clean status dashboard you can drop into a SharePoint page or email out on a schedule. The GitHub repo has the full update notes and the latest module.

What Do You Really Get with Intune Suite in E3 and E5
Andrew Taylor wrote the Intune Suite breakdown you want to read before July 1. Starting next Wednesday, Intune Suite features fold into Microsoft 365 E3 and E5 instead of requiring a separate add on, and Andrew walks through what each component does and how much of it you will actually use. He covers Endpoint Privilege Management, Remote Help with unattended access, Advanced Analytics with Device Query and Multi Device Query, Microsoft Tunnel for mobile app access to on premise resources, and Cloud PKI. If you have been paying for the Intune Suite add on separately, you may be about to free up budget. If you have not, you may be about to get capabilities you did not know you had.
