Recently, I was chatting with my friend Gladys Kravitz about the hassle of comparing objects in
PowerShell. Even after all these years. She has a specific use case, but you might also feel the need for a better comparison option. And to be clear, the comparison we're talking about is not the object's values, as you might see with Compare-Object. But rather the property names.

Collaboration between Azure Active Directory tenants typically involves Azure AD Guest accounts.
After a few years, the proliferation of 'Guest' accounts usually becomes a focus, especially for larger tenants. As Azure AD has matured the meta data associated with accounts, along with Microsoft Graph improvements is making it easier to define and locate stale Azure AD B2B Guest Accounts. In this post I investigate Azure AD with Microsoft Graph API's to find stale Azure AD B2B Guest Accounts.

We're considering moving RMM systems, and that means reevaluating parts of our stack. One of the
pain points in our current stack is the monitoring of anti-virus, we often felt like there is not enough transparency and data returned via our RMM system. Either the system does not return the current state of alerts or forces us to use separate portals.

How cool would it be if I can use the MSGraph PIM api's to build custom applications. For example,
your IT Org has N different resource groups where you want to activate every day. It would be time consuming to activate them one by one. Instead, you can build a custom app using PowerShell or UI so that you can activate to all of these resource groups in one shot.
