Following are the limitations to obtain Office 365 groups members using native tools like Windows PowerShell:

  • Adding even minor details to the report—such as adding additional attributes—require scripts to be modified and executed again, which is time consuming.
  • Exporting a report in a specific format requires a script to be modified accordingly, which increases the complexity of the scripts.
  • Troubleshooting is not easy in case of errors.
