Add possibility to manage Loop settings
Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring
Recently, the opportunity to manage Loop settings via PowerShell has been added. These settings need to get added to M365DSC as well.
Announcement (look for "New Admin PowerShell control for Loop components"): https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-sharepoint-blog/sharepoint-roadmap-pitstop-may-2022/ba-p/3468499 Manage Loop components in SharePoint: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/manage-loop-components
Suggested solution to the issue
A new resource might be a good idea, but since the settings are added to the Get-SPOTenant cmdlet, maybe the SPOTenantSettings resource is also a good idea. In this last case: Maybe we have to connect with the PnP team to see if they plan to add these settings to Get-PnPTenant as well.
This is currently not supported as part of PnP (Get-PnpTenant). Let's revisit once this property is added. https://github.com/pnp/powershell/issues/2189
~This is already part of the PnP PowerShell since Sept. 2022. We should be good to go.~
Update: there is a difference between the PnP PowerShell and the SPO PowerShell
| Settingname | PnP PowerShell | SPO PowerShell |
|---|---|---|
| isLoopEnabled | x | - |
| OneDriveLoopSharingCapability | - | x |
| OneDriveLoopDefaultSharingLinkScope | - | x |
| OneDriveLoopDefaultSharingLinkRole | - | x |
| CoreLoopSharingCapability | - | x |
| CoreLoopDefaultSharingLinkScope | - | x |
| CoreLoopDefaultSharingLinkRole | - | x |
Looks like this may be a catch 21. We made a decision a few years back to adopt PnP.PowerShell over SPO PowerShell. On top of this, the latest PnP.PowerShell module v2.1.* only works for PowerShell 7 and we need to ensure support for both 5 and 7.
This is something I feared... Basically, we are not able to introduce these changes, as this would break our support for PS 5.1 and we would have to wait for the October release. The other issue at hand is that DSC works best on PS 5.1....
Is there any chance to provide a custom M365DSCPnPPower(S)Hell Version or are these settings somehow exposed by MSGraph?
The recommendation here would be for us to wait for these SPO Admin APIs to be available on Graph.
