Script to add user to o365 group?

Question

Hello,

Is there a PS script available to add a user to an o365 group (o365 only - not synced to AD) that can be used after user creation in a business rule?

Thanks very much.

Hello Jason,

Below is the script you need. It adds the target user to the Office 365 distribution group specified in the $groupName variable.

$groupName = "My Group" # TODO: modify me

# Get the user's unique identifier in Office 365
try
{
    $objectId = [Guid]$Context.TargetObject.Get("adm-O365ObjectId")
}
catch
{
    $Context.LogMessage("The user doesn't have an account in Office 365", "Warning")
    return
}

try
{
    # Connect to Exchange Online
    $session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri "https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/" -Credential $Context.GetOffice365Credential() -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
    Import-PSSession $session -AllowClobber -DisableNameChecking -CommandName "Add-DistributionGroupMember"

    # Add user to group
    try
    {
        Add-DistributionGroupMember $groupName -Member $objectId.ToString() -ErrorAction Stop
    }
    catch
    {
        $Context.LogMessage("An error occurred when adding the user to $groupName group. Error: " + $_.Exception.Message, "Warning")
    }
}
finally
{
    # Close the remote session and release resources
    if ($session) { Remove-PSSession $session }
}

Excellent, thank you.

A followup question please. Is there a PS script available that can remove a user from all groups in o365?
Thanks

Hello Jason,

Have a look at the following script in our repository: https://www.adaxes.com/script-repositor ... s-s360.htm.
