Managing Microsoft Teams can be a challenging task, especially in large organizations with numerous teams. Knowing which teams are the most active based on member count can help administrators prioritize resources and support. In this article, we’ll explore how to use Microsoft Graph PowerShell to list Microsoft Teams in your tenant sorted by their member count. The script provided will help you identify the most populous teams, making it easier to manage and support them.
# Ensure the Microsoft Graph PowerShell module is installed
# Install-Module Microsoft.Graph -Scope CurrentUser -Force
# Connect to Microsoft Graph
Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "Group.Read.All"
# Get all Microsoft Teams
$teams = Get-MgGroup -Filter "resourceProvisioningOptions/Any(x:x eq 'Team')" -All -Property Id, DisplayName
# Initialize an array to store team and member count
$teamMemberCounts = @()
# Loop through each team and get the member count
foreach ($team in $teams) {
$members = Get-MgGroupMember -GroupId $team.Id -All
$teamMemberCounts += [PSCustomObject]@{
"Team Name" = $team.DisplayName
"Member Count" = $members.Count
}
}
# Sort the teams by MemberCount in descending order
$sortedTeams = $teamMemberCounts | Sort-Object "Member Count" -Descending
# Output the sorted teams with their member counts
$sortedTeams | Format-Table -AutoSize
# Disconnect from Microsoft Graph
Disconnect-MgGraph
This script leverages the Microsoft Graph PowerShell module to retrieve and sort Microsoft Teams based on the number of members in each team. Below is a step-by-step breakdown of how the script works:
This script provides a solid foundation for listing teams based on member count, but there are several enhancements you could consider:
Error: Insufficient privileges to complete the operation.
Cause: The account used to run the script lacks the required permissions.
Solution: Ensure that the account has the Group.Read.All permission. If not, assign the necessary permissions.
Error: Rate limit exceeded.
Cause: Too many requests made to the Microsoft Graph API in a short period.
Solution: Introduce a delay between requests or handle rate limit errors with a retry logic in the script.
Error: Member count returns as zero.
Cause: The Get-MgGroupMember cmdlet might not be returning results due to API issues.
Solution: Verify that the teams actually have members and ensure there are no connectivity issues. If the problem persists, try re-running the script after a few minutes.
The script provided in this article offers a simple yet powerful way to list and sort Microsoft Teams in your tenant based on member count. By using Microsoft Graph PowerShell, you can easily gather and analyze this data, helping you make informed decisions about team management. With the additional enhancements and error handling, you can further tailor the script to meet your specific needs. This is just one of the many ways Microsoft Graph can streamline administrative tasks in your organization.
If you find this script useful, consider incorporating it into your regular management tasks or enhancing it to provide even more valuable insights.
