FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate PowerShell scripts from the MSOnline module to Microsoft.Graph?▼

To migrate PowerShell scripts from MSOnline to Microsoft.Graph, you replace deprecated MSOnline commands with Microsoft.Graph equivalents using specific code examples. This transition is necessary because the MSOnline and AzureAD modules face retirement in 2025.

What PowerShell features are being deprecated in 2025?▼

PowerShell features being deprecated in 2025 include PowerShell 2.0, the MSOnline and AzureAD modules, and WMIC. Understanding these removals is critical for updating legacy scripts to ensure they continue functioning securely.

What replaces WMIC and deprecated PowerShell modules for system management?▼

CIM cmdlets replace WMIC and deprecated PowerShell modules for system management. Migrating to CIM cmdlets ensures your Windows scripting remains compatible and secure following the 2025 deprecations.

How do I secure PowerShell scripts using JEA and Constrained Language Mode?▼

You secure PowerShell scripts using JEA, WDAC, and Constrained Language Mode to enforce strict security hardening. These measures restrict script execution capabilities and protect against unauthorized access in Windows environments.

Does PowerShell 7 support the transition to PSResourceGet for module management?▼

Yes, the transition to PSResourceGet for module management is part of the 2025 PowerShell evolution. PSResourceGet replaces older module management tools, ensuring secure and reliable script dependency handling.

Why are my AzureAD PowerShell scripts failing after the 2025 update?▼

AzureAD PowerShell scripts are failing because the AzureAD module is retired in 2025. You must migrate your existing scripts to the Microsoft.Graph module to restore functionality and maintain security compliance.
