Choosing Between Graph API Requests or Graph SDK Cmdlets
The decision to choose between Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK cmdlets and Graph API requests can be a challenging one. While some experts recommend the use of Graph API requests for all scenarios to avoid usage of buggy Graph PowerShell SDK cmdlets, others tend to differ.
If you find yourself in such a predicament, it is advisable to start with the Graph PowerShell SDK cmdlets, and only resort to Graph API requests when necessary to simplify the process. Adopting such an approach can help you avoid the complications of working with a potentially bugged Graph PowerShell SDK cmdlet while maintaining simplicity in your usage of Graph API requests.
Deciding between Graph API requests and Graph PowerShell SDK cmdlets generally depends on the specific scenario or task you intend to execute. By taking the time to evaluate what you need to achieve, you can determine which method works best for you, balancing the pros and cons of both sets of tools.
So if you're wondering which to choose between Graph API requests and Graph PowerShell SDK cmdlets, take a cue from this post and start with PowerShell. And as the saying goes, if it works, don't fix it!
