Audit Microsoft Entra ID Dynamic Groups using Microsoft Graph API and PowerShell

Audits an Entra dynamic group by reviewing its membership rule and processing status, along with the current member count.

Summary

Audit Microsoft Entra ID Dynamic Groups using Microsoft Graph PowerShell. Retrieve membership processing status, last evaluation details, and current member count for Intune and Autopilot troubleshooting. The account running the script must have Group.Read.All and GroupMember.Read.All

Example Screenshot

By default, the script has only registered Microsoft Graph and SharePoint Online Microsoft AAD apps (with their respective appId property). Feel free to add any other API listed here in the AadApis class!
