Custom Command for Business Unit

Question

When creating custom commands you have to select the object type. What is the object type for a Business Unit?

It doesn't seem to be OU or Container as I can not select the objects to execute my script against.

I've been searching the site and can not find this detail.

I'm using a script to sync a business units members with a cloud based DL since Adaxes does not support cloud only objects yet.

What I would like to do is have a script pickup any new Business Units created in a specific container and create an Office365 group based on that new container.

Hello,

Thank you for the clarification. Do we understand correctly that you need to not only synchronize business unit membership to Microsoft 365 but also create online distribution lists (DLs) for business units located in a specific container if the groups do not exist? If we do, using rule-based groups instead of business units should meet your needs. The groups will be created in on-premises Active Directory and synchronized to Microsoft 365 by means of AAD Connect. If it does not meet your needs, it might be possible by updating your PowerShell script. With this approach, a mapping of business units to online groups is impossible due to the requirement to create new groups. Please, clarify how the corresponding DL names should be determined (e.g. from the business unit properties). If there is a necessity to synchronize a single business unit to multiple DLs, clarify whether names of the corresponding groups can be determined via a template. Live examples and any additional information will be much appreciated.
