After much humming and hawing, Microsoft reset the retirement date for several old Azure AD modules
By: Tony Redmond submitted:Jun 16 2023
After much humming and hawing, Microsoft reset the retirement date for several old Azure AD modules
to March 30, 2024. The nine-month extension is there to help customers convert scripts to use the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK or Graph API requests. On the upside, the extra time is good as it creates space to migrate scripts. On the downside, there's still some challenges in converting from the old Azure AD modules.

This is small demo where I combined PowerShell + HTML to create a dashboard report for ping.
(Disclaimer: As with all code besure to review everything in it before running it in your local environment. I am just adding this because this is my first time linking to vcloud-lab and this project contains more than just PowerShell. However, I have reviewed the code and did not see anything unexpected, but don't just take my word for it. I'm certainly not a JavaScript expert.)
