Automating with PowerShell: setting OneDrive ownership

So I’ve been hard at work on CIPP the last couple of weeks and because of that haven’t had time to blog really. The great thing is that all of the stuff I normally blog about is pretty easy to integrate into CIPP. One of them being the subject today; sometimes you have leavers in a company you manage and you’d like to transfer the OneDrive ownership to another user, so they can check if there are no important files in there before the user is permanently deleted.

The portal makes this pretty easy, but as we do most of our offboarding using scripting we had to figure out how to do this; turns out that it’s a pretty straight forward process using the M365 hidden APIs that are used for the partner portal.

The script

For this script, you’ll need to use the Secure Application Model. If you want an easy web interface for this instead, check out our open source project named CIPP.

$ApplicationId = 'AppID'
$ApplicationSecret = 'AppSecret'
$RefreshToken = 'RefreshTokens'
$ExchangeRefreshToken = 'YourExchangeRefreshToken'
#### User info
$OneDriveCurrentOwner = "CurrentOwner@mail.com"
$OneDriveAddOwner = "AddedOwner@mail.com"
$Tenant = "MyClient.onmicrosoft.com"
###

$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($ApplicationId, ($ApplicationSecret | Convertto-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force))
$graphToken = New-PartnerAccessToken -ApplicationId $ApplicationId -Credential $credential -RefreshToken $refreshToken -Scopes 'https://graph.microsoft.com/.default' -ServicePrincipal -Tenant $TenantID
$GraphHeader = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $($graphToken.accesstoken)" }

$UserSharepoint = (Invoke-RestMethod -uri "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/users/$($OneDriveCurrentOwner)/drive" -Headers $GraphHeader).weburl -replace "/Documents"
$GainAccessJson = '{"SecondaryContact":"' + $OneDriveAddOwner + '","IsCurrentUserPersonalSiteAdmin":false,"IsDelegatedAdmin":true,"UserPersonalSiteUrl":"' + $UserSharepoint + '"}'
$uri = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/$($Tenant)/oauth2/token"
$body = "resource=https://admin.microsoft.com&grant_type=refresh_token&refresh_token=$($ENV:ExchangeRefreshToken)"
$token = Invoke-RestMethod $uri -Body $body -ContentType "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Method post
$OwnershipOnedrive = Invoke-RestMethod -ContentType "application/json;charset=UTF-8" -Uri 'https://admin.microsoft.com/admin/api/users/setSecondaryOwner' -Body $GainAccessJson -Method POST -Headers @{
    Authorization            = "Bearer $($token.access_token)";
"x-ms-client-request-id" = [guid]::NewGuid().ToString();
"x-ms-client-session-id" = [guid]::NewGuid().ToString()
'x-ms-correlation-id' = [guid]::NewGuid()
'X-Requested-With' = 'XMLHttpRequest'
}
$OwnershipOnedrive

And that’s it. This’ll help you offboard those users just a little bit easier, as always, Happy PowerShelling! 🙂

Automating with PowerShell: making stolen tokens useless with Global Secure Access

Last week I watched Merill Fernando talk to Alex Pavlovsky and Marilee Tuscak from the Entra team about something I’d kinda put under the “needs a GSA licence” branch and i’d check it out later, turns out that like most people, I half-assed the documentation and it turns out it doesn’t. There’s two features that come with any P1 license; Compliant network check and Source IP Restoration. So BP, P1, or even frontline worker licenses already have this.

CIPP ❤️ #IntuneForMSPs

We’re Joining #IntuneForMSPs 🎉

Being invited by Microsoft to join a global initiative is a big moment for us, and we want to be clear about why it matters. #IntuneForMSPs is Microsoft’s program to help MSPs deliver Microsoft 365, Intune, and Copilot services at scale, and CIPP is now part of it, bringing the largest MSP community in the channel directly to Microsoft.

The return of CyberDrain CTF

CyberDrain CTF returns! (and so do I!)

It’s been since september that I actually picked up a digital pen equivalent and wrote anything down. This was due to me being busy with life but also my side projects like CIPP. I’m trying to get back into the game of scripting and blogging about these scripts. There’s still so much to automate and so little time, right? ;)
