Testing

365AutomatedLab and new companion module coming soon

I promise I haven’t forgotten about 365AutomatedLab, but I’ll be honest after Microsoft made the announcement of no more new Dev tenants it hurt a bit as I know how useful they are on learning and testing features and PowerShell without hurting your production environment. 365AutomatedLab will still be used for people that have Dev tenants whether they are free or not, but you can use these functions in production as well.

Now about the new module, it hasn’t been released yet, but finishing cleaning it up to at least beta stage. I won’t say exactly what it does yet, but it is a companion to 365AutomatedLab in that it helps you keep your 365 tenant organized. A little teaser though, is that some of the parts will work with the amazing module Maester and if you don’t already use it, go install it now. Seriously, go do that and while that is downloading, think of ways you would like to see 365AutomatedLab improved.

As always, thank you for taking the time and have a great day!

I wanted to let everyone know that the 365Automatedlab has had a slight update on the validation of parameters. Nothing too crazy, but made sure that it only allowed xlsx files, and that the folder path was correct. Also for some function it will ask you if you want to create that folder path if it doesn’t exist. Would love any feedback!
