Microsoft 365: PowerShell – How to retrieve tenant settings

Hi All,

Greetings for the day!!!

Today, I’m sharing a short PowerShell script that retrieves all tenant settings.

Details

• Background / Usecase / Scenario
  • I need to update one of the my tenant setting – “LegacyAuthProtocolsEnabled“
  • Before updating the respective tenant setting, I want to see the current value for the setting – “LegacyAuthProtocolsEnabled“
• We have SharePoint Online PowerShell module CMDLET – “Get-SPOTenant” which returns all the tenant settings.
• To use “Get-SPOTenant” CMDLET we need to connect to Microsoft 365 tenant
• We will connect to our Microsoft 365 tenant using “Connect-SPOService” PowerShell CMDLET
• Import the SharePoint Online PowerShell module – Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell using Import-Module PowerShell CMDLET
• Using Get-Module we will get the path of – SharePoint Online PowerShell module – Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell

PS C:\> Get-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell -ListAvailable
Directory: C:\Users\Documents\PowerShell\Modules
ModuleType Version    PreRelease Name                                PSEdition ExportedCommands

Binary     16.0.2612…            Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerS… Desk

• As we get the path for SharePoint Online PowerShell module – Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell, we are ready to import the module

PS C:\> Import-Module -Name  C:\Users\Documents\PowerShell\Modules\Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell -UseWindowsPowerShell
