Added M365 connections to shared #2090

iserrano76 · 2024-05-09T14:05:46Z

Issue:
Added two functions to Shared in case any script needs a connection to M365.
One function for Exchange Online another function for AzureAD

Reason:
Unify the way we connect to M365.

Fix:
Both functions will do the following:

Verify if the module is installed, if not, install it after request confirmation.
Verify if the module is loaded, if not, load it.
Lastly, verify if any connection is present (we verify only one connection is present); if none, we offer to connect.
Important: we do not disconnect at anytime we just verify if we have an active session

We should also look into adding pester testing here as well.

Almost ready to go, after we get the next commit, let's also rebase this down to a single commit.

dpaulson45 · 2024-12-19T16:32:03Z

Shared/ModuleHandle.ps1

+        [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
+        [System.Version]$MinModuleVersion = $null


I guess we did address this by being in a loop, but the chances of you having a module that you are requesting be at the same min version is pretty low.

dpaulson45 · 2024-12-19T16:35:30Z

Shared/ModuleHandle.ps1

+        }
+        $installed = Get-InstalledModule @getParams
+
+        if ($null -eq $installed -or $installed.Name -notcontains $module) {


If we did find the module with the version that we are looking for, we should do Write-Verbose here that states at least the version to know if it is something newer and possibly something changed with the cmdlets that broke something.

@iserrano76 let's do this and rebase and then we should be good for one last review before merge.

Pending review from Lukas as well.

Shared/ModuleHandle.ps1

+        [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
+        [System.Version]$MinModuleVersion = $null


We could also think about removing the MinModuleVersion parameter and instead passing a key-value pair via Module parameter. This could be a dictionary (because they are strongly typed):

$modules = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[String, Version]" $modules.Add("ModuleToLoad", "3.0.0.0")

We could then progress them one by one

@lusassl-msft to review the final result, then we will squash this back down a commit and then merge.

lusassl-msft · 2025-02-05T17:05:30Z

Shared/ModuleHandle.ps1

+        Write-Verbose "Checking $m PowerShell Module"
+        $getParams = @{
+            Name        = $m
+            ErrorAction = 'SilentlyContinue'


@iserrano76 should we change this to ErrorAction = Stop and put the Get-InstalledModule into a try/catch? If we fail to query the modules for whatever reason, we treat it the same as if the module was not found. I think we should change this behavior.

If we are handling it properly, does it matter if we do the try/catch version?

No, it shouldn't matter then. If I understand the code correctly, we're trying to install the module if $installed is $null or does not contain $m (module x). Installed would be $null in case that Get-InstalledModule fail for whatever reason. This would mean we're trying installing a module which might be already there. That's my understanding here. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Shared/ModuleHandle.ps1

+        [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
+        [System.Version]$MinModuleVersion = $null


I'm okay with both approaches. If you want to keep the current approach I'm okay with it.

Shared/ModuleHandle.ps1

lusassl-msft · 2025-02-11T16:41:49Z

Shared/ModuleHandle.ps1

+
+    $noFoundError = $true
+
+    foreach ($m in $Module) {


@iserrano76 Sorry to be so petty. Wouldn't it be better to return a final statement for each module that was passed when calling the Request-Module function? We support processing multiple modules in here but return just one state. If one of the modules fail and the remaining ones are processed successfully, we just return $false because one of them has failed. I think it would be better to put the module and final state to a hashtable and finally return it. What do you think?

Hi @lusassl-msft do not worry, it is a healthy discussion looking for the best solution, no problem at all 😉
Maybe it is easier to simplify and just allow one module each time instead of an array and return true or false for each one.
I think we are not going to request several modules.
What do you think?

That could make it more complicated for the caller to use. If that is the case, I would just adjust to only accept a single module and you have to test against each one.

Yep, let’s move to the one module approach then 👍

@iserrano76 are you able to make this change?

Yes, I am trying to find some time for testing.
