SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
Project: Archiving Idle Microsoft 365 Groups via PowerShell
Feb 2024
Developed a script that takes an inactive M365 Group and archives it in place
- Microsoft does not provide archiving for groups, so a PowerShell workaround was the plan.
- Removes all members, adds dedicated SharePoint admin as owner to have access to data.
- Appends a change to the SMTP address to guarantee users no longer see the group.
Project: Project Approval via Power Automate
June 2023
Created a workflow within Power Automate to create a paper trail of project approval.
- Integrates SharePoint, Exchange, Power Automate, and Microsoft Power Apps.
- Each approval/rejection is updated in real-time within SharePoint lists.
Project: Interface and Submit Tickets via Python
June 2023
Developed a Python script that allows batch submitting of tickets/requests to avoid tedious GUI commands.
- To maintain data integrity, requests for data must be assigned to individual users for auditing.
- Utilized the ticketing system’s API to make calls and create/modify tickets/requests.
