Managing Groups

  • New-MgGroup
    • Creates a new group
  • To create a mail-enabled security group
    • AdditionalProperties parameter
      • There is an issue with MailEnabled switch
# Security Group
New-MgGroup -DisplayName 'Security - Test Group' -MailEnabled:$False - MailNickName 'security-testgroup' - SecurityEnabled
# Mail Enabled security group - seems to not be an option
# Bug in how this command is expected to work - MailEnabled and SecurityEnabled are bools that should be switches
# https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-powershell/issues/748
$prob["mailEnabled"] = $true
New-MgGroup -DisplayName 'SecurityMail - Test Group' -MailNickName 'securitymail-testgroup' -AdditionalProperties $prop -SecurityEnabled
  • Remove-MgGroup
    • Deletes a group
$delGroup = Get-MgGroup -Filter "DisplayName eq 'SecMail - MadeGroup'"
Remove-MgGroup -GroupId $delGroup.Id
