Name:           Export Office 365 User Activity Report to CSV using PowerShell 
Version:        2.0
website:        o365reports.com

Script Highlights:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.The script uses modern authentication to connect to Exchange Online.  
2.The script can be executed with MFA enabled account too.  
3.Exports report results to CSV file.  
4.Allows you to generate a user activity report for a custom period.  
5.Automatically installs the EXO V2 module (if not installed already) upon your confirmation. 
6.The script is scheduler friendly. I.e., Credential can be passed as a parameter instead of saving inside the script. 

Change Log:
~~~~~~~~~~~
  V1.0 (Jan 07, 2021)  - File created
  V1.1 (Dec 17, 2021)  - Minor usabilities
  V2.0 (May 14, 2025)  - Removed MS Online module dependency, added support for certificate-based authentication, and extended audit log retrieval from 90 to 180 days.
