Context
During a Power Platform audit for a customer, I was looking for exporting all user licenses data into a single file to analyze it with Power BI. In this article, I’ll show you the easy way to export Power Apps and Power Automate user licenses with PowerShell!
Download user licenses
To do this, we are using PowerApps PowerShell and more particular, the Power Apps admin module.
To install this module, execute the following command as a local administrator:
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell
Note: if this module is already installed on your machine, you can use the Update-Module command to update it to the latest version available.
Then to export user licenses data, you just need to execute the following command and replace the target file path to use:
Get-AdminPowerAppLicenses -OutputFilePath <PATH-TO-CSV-FILE>
Note: you will be prompted for your Microsoft 365 tenant credentials, you need to sign-in as Power Platform Administrator or Global Administrator to execute this command successfully.
After this, you can easily use the generated CSV file in Power BI Desktop for further data analysis:
Happy reporting everyone!

The team is excited this week to share what we’ve been working on based on all your input. News to be covered includes Application Gateway URL Rewrite General Availability, End of Support for Ubuntu 16.04, Using Azure Migrate with Private Endpoints, Overview of HoloLens 2 deployment and security-based Microsoft Learn Module of the week.
Application Gateway URL Rewrite General Availability
Azure Application Gateway can now rewrite the host name, path and query string of the request URL. You can now also rewrite the URL of all or some of the client requests based on matching one or more conditions as required. Administrators can also now choose to route the request based on the original URL or the rewritten URL. This feature enables several important scenarios such as allowing path based routing for query string values and support for hosting friendly URLs.

Upgrade your Ubuntu server to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS by 30 April 2021
Ubuntu is ending standard support for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on 30 April 2021. Microsoft will replace the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS image with an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS image for new compute instances and clusters to ensure continued security updates and support from the Ubuntu community. If you have long running compute instances, or non-autoscaling clusters (min nodes > 0), please follow the instructions here for manual migration before 30 April 2021. After 30 April 2021, support for Ubuntu 16.04 ends and no security update will be provided. Please migrate to Ubuntu 18.04 immediately or before 30 April 2021, and please note that Microsoft will not be responsible for any kind of security breaches after the deprecation.
Azure Migrate with private endpoints
You can now use Azure Migrate: Discovery and Assessment and Azure Migrate: Server Migration tools to privately and securely connect to the Azure Migrate service over an ExpressRoute private peering or a site-to-site VPN connection via an Azure private link. The private endpoint connectivity method is recommended when there is an organizational requirement to not cross public networks to access the Azure Migrate service and other Azure resources. You can also use the private link support to use an existing ExpressRoute private peering circuits for better bandwidth or latency requirements.

I remember running my first commands and building my first automation using Windows PowerShell back in 2006. Since then, PowerShell became one of my daily tools to build, deploy, manage IT environments. With the release of PowerShell version 6 and now PowerShell 7, PowerShell became cross-platform. This means you can now use it on even more systems like Linux and macOS. With PowerShell becoming more and more powerful (you see what I did there ;)), more people are asking me how they can get started and learn PowerShell. Luckily we just released 5 new modules on Microsoft Learn for PowerShell.

Purpose of configuration is to run scripts or reports against your tenant.
