Configuration of the MS Teams was relatively simple. It allows anyone in an organization to create new Teams. It sounds like a great feature. But some organizations are against the dark IT growth.

The growth of unknown Teams in the tenant can become an IT nightmare. Due to the concern the creation of MS Teams was limited unless a member of a specific group. This is how I accomplished this requirement. One would expect a simple toggle switch in the admin site, but Microsoft has not implemented that simple option. It needs to be managed through powershell.

Here is an example of the code I used to implement the changes. https://github.com/lougerritse/lougerritse/blob/main/M365_Group_Creators.ps1

I am a technical hand-on individual. I have been fixing things as long as I can remember. I would take apart toy cars and fix them again.

I have done work on lawn mowers and rebuilt large diesel engines in a classroom setting. I enjoy spending time in my Jeeps and Motorcycles, but have a family which requires nurturing too!

My day to day work involves resolving IT based issues. I enjoy building efficiencies, migrating environments, and simply getting things to work. I know most everything in IT can be automated and done more efficiently.

I chose this domain as an acronym for the phrase Why Expect Realistic eXpectations. I am a realist and know certain tasks take time.
