Thank you for your patience.<\/p>\n<p>Starting July 29, 2024, and ending August 9, 2024, we will be retiring the <code>  Remove-SPOExternalUser<\/code> PowerShell cmdlet for Microsoft SharePoint Online (SPO) users as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance security and streamline scope and permissions for external users.  <\/p>\n<p>After the retirement, requests using the&nbsp;<code>Remove-SPOExternalUser<\/code> cmdlet will be blocked with an error message similar to:    <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo streamline scope and permissions for external users, enhance access management, and strengthen our security posture, this cmdlet has been deprecated. Alternatively, please use the  <code>Remove-MgUser<\/code> cmdlet in Microsoft Graph PowerShell for user management.

If this change impacts your org, please note that the functionality will continue to be available through alternate means for the tenant admins\/users (see below for details).  <\/p>\n<p>[What you need to do to prepare:]   <\/p>\n<p>Please begin immediately transitioning from using the <code>Remove-SPOExternalUser<\/code> cmdlet. To avoid unexpected impact, also ensure none of your workflows are calling this cmdlet. Instead, please use the  <code>Remove-MgUser&nbsp;<\/code>cmdlet as described in <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/powershell\/module\/microsoft.graph.users\/remove-mguser?view=graph-powershell-1.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">  Remove-MgUser (Microsoft.Graph.Users) | Microsoft Learn<\/a>, where we will continue to invest resources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Additional Information:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/sharepoint\/remove-users\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Troubleshoot user profile removal issues in SharePoint &#8211; SharePoint in Microsoft 365 | Microsoft Learn<\/a>&nbsp;(this resource currently undergoing updates).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MC806103 | (Updated) Microsoft SharePoint: \u201cRemove-SPOExternalUser\u201d retires starting July 29, 2024 Classificat [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/m365jp.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/m365jp.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/m365jp.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/m365jp.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/m365jp.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7169"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/m365jp.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7169\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/m365jp.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/m365jp.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/m365jp.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
