This says that ServiceHealth.Read and User.Read is necessary. I use ServiceHealth.Read.All and ServiceMessage.Read.All (I just checked the Azure AD app). I forget why I selected these permissions, but it might have been through trial and error. It’s over a year since I wrote this article.

Make sure that they are application permissions, not delegated permissions.

As to spam, the site is plagued by a large amount of incoming spam that insists that people want to read about various pills and other body enhancements. No one wants to see that kind of crap.

I have the exact same permission as you mentioned in this article, Please advise if more permissions are required? I am unable to share screen capture to you via this message.

Also, this spam protection on your page/article is horrendous this is 105th time I am trying to add my reply

I suspect you have a permissions issue. I tried the queries and the first two worked like a charm. The last didn’t because MC408531 doesn’t exist in my tenant.

Hi Tony,
I am expeirencing the same issue. I am using graph explorer. I only see the old message and not the new ones.
Below is my query
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/admin/serviceAnnouncement/messages

I thought I would be a paging issue hence I used the below query and still no new message
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/admin/serviceAnnouncement/messages?`$top=100

To my surprise when I search with the message ID it shows the new message
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/admin/serviceAnnouncement/messages/MC408531

Could you please guide me what am I doing wrong here and why can’t I see the new messages?

Regards,
Ashish Jaiswal

I obviously don’t have access to your code and can’t say what might be going on. What do you see in the Graph Explorer? I pasted the link into it and see recent advisories (example shown below).

I am using Graph API to extract the incidents (advisory and incidents) using a power flow.

But I have an issue with https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/admin/serviceAnnouncement/issues because is extracting only some old incidents and the new ones are not present in my output.

Do you have an idea why is not getting all the incidents?

Hi Frank,

The error means that you don’t have any data in the array ($Issues) you’re trying to use. Maybe the parameters you used for the Graph API call aren’t correct?

I tried out your code in my tenant and always get an error:

It is not possible to apply an index to a NULL array.

+ $ PostInfo = $ Issues.Posts [$ LastPostIndex] .Description.Content

Next problem I have is to post the data to a teams channel like Einar Asting did http://thingsinthe.cloud/Teams-message-cards-Office-365-Health-status/

I am relativ new to O365 and powershell and it makes me a great headache.

I subscribed Office 365 for IT Pros and it is very helpful. But it is a long learning path for me.

Thanks for your great blog.

Greetings from Germany.

Kindly regards

Frank
