<# ============================================================================================= Name: Audit Account Status Changes in M365 Using PowerShell Version: 1.0 website: o365reports.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Script Highlights: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. The script automatically verifies and installs the Exchange Online PowerShell module (if not installed already) upon your confirmation.  2. Tracks all Microsoft 365 user account status change events for the past 180 days.  3. Allows you to retrieve enabled and disabled account activities for a custom date range.  4. Generates a report of successfully completed account enable or disable actions.  5. Exports only the failed account enable/disable events.  6. Captures account status change events specific to guest users.  7. Audits account status change events specific to internal users.  8. The script can be executed with MFA-enabled account too.  9. It exports the report result to CSV format.  10. It can be executed with Certificate-based Authentication (CBA) too.  11. The script is scheduler-friendly.  For detailed Script execution: https://o365reports.com/2025/08/19/audit-account-status-changes-in-m365-using-powershell/ ============================================================================================ #> Param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [Nullable[DateTime]]$StartDate, [Nullable[DateTime]]$EndDate, [switch]$EnabledEventsOnly, [switch]$DisabledEventsOnly, [switch]$SucceedOnly, [switch]$FailedOnly, [switch]$GuestUserOnly, [switch]$InternalUserOnly, [string[]]$PerformedBy, [string[]]$TargetUser, [string]$ClientId, [string]$Organization, [string]$CertificateThumbprint, [string]$UserName, [string]$Password ) $MaxStartDate=((Get-Date).AddDays(-180)).Date #Retrive audit log for the past 180 days if(($null -eq $StartDate) -and ($null -eq $EndDate)) { $EndDate=(Get-Date).Date $StartDate=$MaxStartDate } #Getting start date to audit export report While($true) { if ($null -eq $StartDate) { $StartDate=Read-Host Enter start time for report generation '(Eg:03/21/2025)' } try { $Date=[DateTime]$StartDate if($Date -ge $MaxStartDate) { break } else { Write-Host `nAudit can be retrieved only for the past 180 days.
