General FYI if you're having issues with Get-MailboxStatistics:

Glad to see an article about it, I'm still trying to get MS to consider putting something in service health.

Regarding MS Graph PowerShell SDK: IIRC it was built using auto rest.

Anyone have any insight on what thought was put into when deciding the verbs used for the cmdlets/functions?

For example:

New-MgServicePrincipalOwnerByRef - this 'adds' an owner to an enterprise app . Why was 'new' used?

Per MS docs, for the Exchange Online Module:
"In PowerShell 7, browser-based single sign-on (SSO) is used by default, so the sign-in prompt opens in your default web browser instead of a standalone dialog"

It seems version 3.7 broke this? No changelogs for 3.7 on the what's new learn doc

Anyone using ExchangeOnlineManagement module with a no language mode endpoint? It seems the update from 3.4-> 3.5.1 has changed the way the module imports, which now loads PowerShellGet and PackageManagement. This causes issues in NoLangaugeMode.

Extremely grateful for one of MS's escalation engineers today. It started rocky (no response in 4 months) but he was able to finally get my requests to the proper team to fix an issue with the systems that run the Advanced Hunting API. If anyone else ran into 500/502 errors using it, they are fixed.

Did you know you that in #PowerShell when utilizing variables, most 'simple' variables or objects are passed by value, while 'complex' values are passed by reference? See: Types & about Ref. Second document has great function examples.

Passed by reference = Shallow copy
Passed by value = Deep copy
