<# ============================================================================================= Name: Audit Group Membership Changes in Microsoft 365 Using PowerShell Version: 1.0 Website: o365reports.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Script Highlights: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. The script exports 10+ group membership changes reports. 2. The script can be executed with MFA-enabled accounts too. 3. It exports audit results to CSV file format in the working directory. 4. The script retrieves group membership changes log for 180 days, by default. 5. It allows you to obtain the audit reports for a custom period. 6. It provides details on group members and owners added or removed. 7. The script can retrieve external users' membership changes across groups. 8. It audits membership modifications done by a specific user. 9. The script tracks membership changes in sensitive groups. 10.It automatically installs the EXO module upon your confirmation. 11.The script is scheduler-friendly i.e., Credentials can be passed as a parameter. 12.The script supports Certificate-based Authentication (CBA) too.
