Microsoft to Retire the Search-UnifiedAuditLog Cmdlet in 2027
MC1505599 covers two big announcements. First, the AuditLogQuery Graph API is GA. Second, Microsoft will retire the heavily used Search-UnifiedAuditLog cmdlet in October 2027. Microsoft hasn’t said why they want to retire Search-UnifiedAuditLog and have tenants convert their PowerShell scripts to use the AuditLogQuery API but reducing engineering cost and complexity are probably at the heart of the matter. In any case, the conversion will cost Microsoft 365 development effort and money between now and October 2027, and that’s a bad thing.
