I know it's been a bit, but life has been a bit hectic. Also a bit saddened about the Microsoft
announcement that you can no longer create new Free 365 Dev Tenants. I'm really hoping they revert that decision, or make the Dev Tenant even better. I honestly don't think it's a money grab, but more for security. If it is toot easy to create a temp tenant it is a great tool for bad actors. I'll leave it at that for now, and will probably do a bigger blog post on it in the future.

The Microsoft 365 Groups and Teams Activity Report is a PowerShell script that I've worked on since
2016 (not all the time). Some recent Graph hiccups meant that I had to apply some fixes and workarounds. At the same time, some users hit the infamous 'not recognized as a valid datetime' problem, so another update was needed. All good, clean fun.

I need to run various interactive PS scripts and log all ouput to log files. I thought I had found
the perfect way to do this in the Start-Transcript command, but I can't make it work correctly. It does create log files, but it's always missing lines in the log files. Some lines are logged, some ate missing from the file, despite clearly being visible in the console. Anyone has any tips on the best way to do this? Thanks!

Many people think of PowerShell as a scripting language and forget that it is also a shell. But this
is not the shell from DOS, or even from Windows 10. The new, modern PowerShell console is a rich, and colorful environment.
