New Groups / Refreshed Tenant export

[CuzBot]

Hi all, and a massive thank you to Micke-K!

Does anyone know how I can get a fresh pull (export) of our golden tenant that includes new groups that we created since the first export?

We're using the tool like so:

• Create a golden(A) tenant
• export golden(A) tenant using Intune Manager
• Import golden(A) tenant to new tenant(B,C,D,etc)
• (also exporting backups/snapshots of all tenants prior to import of golden tenant)

Simple enough, so I thought. But I'm really struggling to find how to pull all the new Groups made in our golden tenant.

While testing we discovered we needed to have a few extra default Groups that would remain for all our child tenants, but have not been able to use the tool to refresh the new list of groups.

Hoping this is an easy solve and that I have just missed something basic here :/

Have tried to sieve through the collection of .psm1 and C:\Users******\AppData\Local\CloudAPIPowerShellManagement, and attempted to remove completely from azure.

Hello,

This is the same as Issue 306.

It caches the groups and then doesn't clear the cache. So it thinks it has all the group.

Bad design. I need to add a clear cache option at some point.

Cheers!

Sorry for not responding sooner. I found the fix for my issue. Added a similar comment to Issue 306 too :)

To grab all the groups for an export, I needed to assign a member to it (another Security group or user). It appears unless the Security Group is being used (assigned with or to) it will not export. Good for unused groups not to be pushed to other tenants, but not so for creating a template tenant as I am.

It took a bit of trial an error, but got there in the end. It also let me learn more about IntuneManager and Intune/m365 in the process, so win/win!

Thanks again.
