Great job with this script. Works like a champ.
One question, some groups are skipped as it displays "insufficient privileges". Do you know why that is?
Thanks in advance.
This solved the problem in my script which had been running fine for months but broke within the past week unexpectedly. Thanks a bunch!
I believe each app have it's own auth token which gets issued after login with MFA in this case. Each app you configure with conditional access with MFA will ask upon access! I think there are some services that share this token though..
You can lower the MFA requests though by configure MFA for trusted devices in the policy to bypass reauthentication for a chosen period, but this doesn't affect that you still have separate MFA prompts for different apps..
Guess this no longer works. Microsoft forced all Partners to use MFA. I am getting prompted when executing (Connect-msolService -Credential $managedCred). The following code no longer works.
$managedCred = Get-StoredCredential -Target o365
Connect-msolService -Credential $managedCred
What's a good admin PowerShell solution using MFA to authenticate to multiple services?
