With Office 365 PowerShell, you can manage Office 365 for your organization using commands and scripts that streamline your day to day work. Microsoft provides several easy to use admin centers to help manage Office 365. However, whether you’re an Office 365 administrator yourself or a service owner for Office 365 in your organization (working with other administrators), you’ll quickly find that you need to go beyond the capabilities that these admin centers provide. PowerShell can help you automate tasks so that they are easily repeatable, it can help you script management tasks so that they are automatically performed on a schedule and it can help you quickly output large amounts of data about your Office 365 environment. As well, some Office 365 settings are only manageable using PowerShell, with no UX provided. In this session, you’ll learn how to get started with Office 365 PowerShell and how to quickly become productive with it, making you more productive and empowered as you manage your Office 365 environment.
