365 Group Script

PowerShell Help
1

Hi All

I am now been tasked with creating a script that adds 365 groups to a user.

 

Below this is what have started with.

For ease of starting this I have it reading from host, for testing purpose, which is why I have it using $User to set user for the group.

 

#Sets Variables
$email = Read-Host "Enter Email Address"

#Sets Credentials for logon
$Username = "Username"
$Password = ConvertTo-SecureString 'Password' -AsPlainText -Force
$Credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential $Username, $Password

#Connects to 365
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $Credential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $Session

#Connects to AzureAD
Connect-MsolService -Credential $Credential 
Import-Module MSonline

#License check(Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName [INSERT EMAIL]).Licenses.ServiceStatus
#Gets User
$User = Get-MsolUser -SearchString "$email" | Select DisplayName

#Loop to check if user Exists
Do 
{
$UserCheckValid = Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName $email -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Sleep 10
}
While ($UserCheckValid -eq $null)

#Add Generic Groups

#Adds 365 Group
Add-UnifiedGroupLinks –Identity "365 Group" –LinkType Members –Links "$User"

Remove-PSSession $Session

But the output I’m getting is this Output:

Couldn't find object "@{UserPrincipalName=First.Test@company.com}". Please make sure that it was spelled correctly or specify a 
different object.
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (365 Group:UnifiedGroupIdParameter) [Add-UnifiedGroupLinks], ADNoSuchObjectException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : [Server=AM0PR01MB4628,RequestId=fc5cf0d5-8d37-4203-942d-7d1337cf0d1f,TimeStamp=14/01/2019 14:10:56] 
[FailureCategory=Cmdlet-ADNoSuchObjectException] 48886C4E,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.AddUnifiedGroupLinks
+ PSComputerName : outlook.office365.com

I’m think it might be to do with $User Variable, so I changed $User to Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName “$email” & Get the following Output:

Couldn't find object "Microsoft.Online.Administration.User". Please make sure that it was spelled correctly or specify a different 
object.
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (365 Group:UnifiedGroupIdParameter) [Add-UnifiedGroupLinks], ADNoSuchObjectException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : [Server=AM0PR01MB4628,RequestId=ee4909bf-0e42-45c1-ad9e-a7bd96538e36,TimeStamp=14/01/2019 14:30:45] 
[FailureCategory=Cmdlet-ADNoSuchObjectException] 4E6866B8,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.AddUnifiedGroupLinks
+ PSComputerName : outlook.office365.com

 

I’m just unsure on why. More eye would help

What are you giving to $email variable ? The second failure is expected as warping inside double quotes will do a string conversion of the variable and for many of the objects string conversion gives the type.

The $User variable being set by Get-MsolUser is a Microsoft.Online.Administration.User object. In general, I would expect that the -Links parameter of Add-UnifiedGroupLinks would accept that variable without any quotes around it and use the correct property from the object to identify who you’re adding to the group. If, for some reason, it doesn’t work with the full $User object, try using $User.UserPrincipalName (again, with no quotes) to pass in the UPN property.
