Something weird happened to me earlier. I was working on my
O365 tenant with Powershell, and couldn’t remember the exact verbiage of a
cmdlet that I needed. So, I did what any good sys admin would do; consulted the
help! After clearing my Powershell console of many, angry looking red and
yellow words (Powershell didn’t seem to be happy about me guessing at cmdlets),
I ran “get-command *msol*”. Much to my surprise, I saw that many of the cmdlets
were duplicated in the output:
What gives? Well, if you take a look at the column furthest
to the right, you will see that there are two different Powershell modules
being called; msonline and msonlineExtended. But why are there two modules? And
what is the difference? I can’t find any explanation for this mystery module.
It seems there are other people who are just as confused as me:
Do YOU know the purpose of the MSOnlineExtended module? If
so, please leave a comment!
