Installing/Updating

For using as a module

Installation doesn't require administrative rights. You can install it using following:

Install-Module O365Synchronizer

But if you don't have administrative rights on your machine:

Install-Module O365Synchronizer -Scope CurrentUser

To update

Update-Module -Name O365Synchronizer

That's it. Whenever there's a new version you simply run the command and you can enjoy it. Remember, that you may need to close, reopen the PowerShell session if you have already used the module before updating it. The important thing is if something works for you on production, keep using it till you test the new version on a test computer. I do changes that may not be big, but big enough that auto-update will break your code. For example, small rename to a parameter and your code stops working! Be responsible!

For development purposes

If you want to contribute to the module, you can clone the repository and use it as a module, but you will need those to be installed:

$Modules = @(
    'PSSharedGoods'
    'PSWriteColor'
)
$ModulesGraph = @(
    'Microsoft.Graph.Identity.SignIns'
    'Microsoft.Graph.Identity.DirectoryManagement'
    'Microsoft.Graph.Users'
    'Microsoft.Graph.PersonalContacts'
    'Microsoft.Graph.Authentication'
)
foreach ($Module in $Modules) {
    Install-Module -Name $Module -Force -Scope CurrentUser -Verbose
}

# Graph modules, which can be used with prerlease versions
foreach ($Module in $ModulesGraph) {
    Install-Module -Name $Module -Force -Scope CurrentUser -AllowPrerelease -Verbose
}

Usage

Synchronize GAL to user mailbox

Permissions required

Before being able to synchronize GAL to users contact list you need to create application in O365 with following permissions:

• User.Read.All - to read users
• OrgContact.Read.All - to read contacts
• Contacts.ReadWrite - to write contacts

Example

Import-Module O365Synchronizer

$ClientID = '9e1b3'
$TenantID = 'ceb371'
$ClientSecret = 'nQF8'

$Credentials = [pscredential]::new($ClientID, (ConvertTo-SecureString $ClientSecret -AsPlainText -Force))
Connect-MgGraph -ClientSecretCredential $Credentials -TenantId $TenantID -NoWelcome

# Synchronization per user or multiple users in one
Sync-O365PersonalContact -UserId '[email protected]', '[email protected]' -Verbose -MemberTypes 'Contact', 'Member' -GuidPrefix 'O365Synchronizer' | Format-Table *

Synchronize users between tenants

Permissions required

Source tenant:

• User.Read.All - to read users

Target tenant:

• Exchange.ManageAsApp - to read/write contacts in Exchange (remember to add application to Exchange Recipient Administrator role)

Example

To synchronize users/contacts from Source tenant to Destination tenant you can do it in following way:

# Source Tenant
$ClientID = '9e1b3c36'
$TenantID = 'ceb371f6'
$ClientSecret = 'NDE'

$Credentials = [pscredential]::new($ClientID, (ConvertTo-SecureString $ClientSecret -AsPlainText -Force))
Connect-MgGraph -ClientSecretCredential $Credentials -TenantId $TenantID -NoWelcome

# do the filtering of any kind on UsersToSync to get the users you want to synchronize
$UsersToSync = Get-MgUser | Select-Object -First 10

# Destination tenant - you need to create application with permissions to read/write contacts in Exchange
$ClientID = 'edc4302e'
Connect-ExchangeOnline -AppId $ClientID -CertificateThumbprint '2E' -Organization 'xxxxx.onmicrosoft.com'
Sync-O365Contact -SourceObjects $UsersToSync -Domains 'evotec.pl','gmail.com' -Verbose -WhatIf

You can revert the order and set it up to synchronize from Destination tenant to Source tenant to have a two-way synchronization.

Filtering & Folder support

# synchronize contacts for 1 user of two types (Member, Contact) using GUID prefix and filtering by company name
# this will only synchronize contacts that have CompanyName starting with 'Evotec' or 'Ziomek'
# this will also require contacts to be in a group by 'e7772951-4b0e-4f10-8f38-eae9b8f55962'
# this will also create a folder 'O365Sync' in user's personal contacts and put synchronized contacts there
# this will also return the results in a table
Sync-O365PersonalContact -UserId '[email protected]' -MemberTypes 'Contact', 'Member' -GuidPrefix 'O365Synchronizer' -PassThru {
    Sync-O365PersonalContactFilter -Type Include -Property 'CompanyName' -Value 'Evotec*','Ziomek*' -Operator 'like'
    Sync-O365PersonalContactFilterGroup -Type Include -GroupID 'e7772951-4b0e-4f10-8f38-eae9b8f55962'
} -FolderName 'O365Sync' | Format-Table

Clearing personal contacts

# this is useful to clear current user contacts (if you have some)
# this will only delete synchronized ones (based on FileAs property that has to convert to GUID)
Clear-O365PersonalContact -Identity '[email protected]' -WhatIf

# this is useful to clear current user contacts (if you have some)
# this will only delete synchronized ones (based on FileAs property that has to convert to GUID, with GUID prefix)
Clear-O365PersonalContact -Identity '[email protected]' -GuidPrefix 'O365Synchronizer' -WhatIf

# this will delete all contacts
Clear-O365PersonalContact -Identity '[email protected]' -All -WhatIf

# this will only delete synchronized ones (based on FileAs property that has to convert to GUID, with GUID prefix) from specific folder
Clear-O365PersonalContact -Identity '[email protected]' -GuidPrefix 'O365Synchronizer' -FolderName 'O365' -WhatIf

# this will only delete synchronized ones (based on FileAs property that has to convert to GUID, with GUID prefix) from specific folder, including the folder
Clear-O365PersonalContact -Identity '[email protected]' -GuidPrefix 'O365Synchronizer' -FolderName 'O365Sync' -FolderRemove -WhatIf
