Recover Deleted Teams Meeting Recordings
Summary
With the new 120 day expiration policy , some customers have been caught unaware. What do you do if you need to recover across thousands of accounts. This is supposed to be run in stages , i suggest using this as a sample to build your own script/s. I suggest you copy and paste each stage at a time.
Recycle bin before restoration
Grant Access to One Drive
Looping Through One Drive's
Restoration of files
Recycle bin After Restores
Recordings Folder After Restores
