Hi All,

I don't check daily if there are any new PowerShell modules in PSGallery.

So i wrote me a Script of my most used Modules to Inform me if there are any new Modules available.

With the following Code i check for the current Version of the Modules and put them into a PSCustomObject with the Attributes Release, Module, Version (for GA and Prerelease Versions).

###############################################################################
# Check PSGallery Modules
###############################################################################
#Create Empty Array
$MyArray = @()

$Modules = @("AZ","MSOnline", "AzureADPreview", "ExchangeOnlineManagement", "Icewolf.EXO.SpamAnalyze", "MicrosoftTeams", "Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell","PnP.PowerShell" , "ORCA", "O365CentralizedAddInDeployment", "MSCommerce", "WhiteboardAdmin", "Microsoft.Graph", "MSAL.PS", "MSIdentityTools" )
foreach ($Module in $Modules)
{
   #Check GA Version
   $Result = Find-Module -Name $Module
   $Version = $Result.Version
   Write-Output "GA: $Module $Version"

   #Create Custom Object to Store Information
   $myObject = [PSCustomObject]@{
        Release     = 'GA'
        Module = $Module
        Version    = $Version
   }
   #Add to Array
   $MyArray += $myObject

   #Check PreRelease Version
   $Result = Find-Module -Name $Module -AllowPrerelease
   $Version = $Result.Version
   Write-Output "PreRelease: $Module $Version"

   #Create Custom Object to Store Information
   $myObject = [PSCustomObject]@{
        Release     = 'PreRelease'
        Module = $Module
        Version    = $Version
   }
   #Add to Array
   $MyArray += $myObject
}
