Are you in search of a quick and easy way to access Microsoft Teams data from PowerShell? This article demonstrates how to utilize the Microsoft Teams Cmdlets for tasks like connecting to Microsoft Teams data, automating operations, downloading data, and more.

The CData ADO.NET Provider for Microsoft Teams is a standard ADO.NET Provider that make it easy to accomplish data cleansing, normalization, backup, and other integration tasks by enabling real-time and bidirectional access to Microsoft Teams.

ADO.NET Provider

The ADO.NET Provider provides a SQL interface for Microsoft Teams; this tutorial shows how to use the Provider to create, retrieve, update, and delete Microsoft Teams data.

Once you have acquired the necessary connection properties, accessing Microsoft Teams data in PowerShell can be enabled in three steps.

You can connect to MS Teams using the embedded OAuth connectivity. When you connect, the MS Teams OAuth endpoint opens in your browser. Log in and grant permissions to complete the OAuth process. See the OAuth section in the online Help documentation for more information on other OAuth authentication flows.

  1. Load the provider's assembly:

    
    [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("C:\Program Files\CData\CData ADO.NET Provider for Microsoft Teams\lib\System.Data.CData.MSTeams.dll")
        
  2. Connect to Microsoft Teams:

     
    $conn= New-Object System.Data.CData.MSTeams.MSTeamsConnection("OAuthClientId=MyApplicationId;OAuthClientSecret=MySecretKey;CallbackURL=http://localhost:33333;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;")
    $conn.Open()
    
  3. Instantiate the MSTeamsDataAdapter, execute an SQL query, and output the results:

    
    $sql="SELECT subject, location_displayName from Teams"
    
    $da= New-Object System.Data.CData.MSTeams.MSTeamsDataAdapter($sql, $conn)
    $dt= New-Object System.Data.DataTable
    $da.Fill($dt)
    
    $dt.Rows | foreach {
    	Write-Host $_.subject $_.location_displayname
    }
      

Update Microsoft Teams Data


$cmd =  New-Object System.Data.CData.MSTeams.MSTeamsCommand("UPDATE Teams SET Id='Jq74mCczmFXk1tC10GB' WHERE Id = @myId", $conn)
$cmd.Parameters.Add((New-Object System.Data.CData.MSTeams.MSTeamsParameter("@myId","10456255-0015501366")))
$cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

Insert Microsoft Teams Data


$cmd =  New-Object System.Data.CData.MSTeams.MSTeamsCommand("INSERT INTO Teams (Id) VALUES (@myId)", $conn)
$cmd.Parameters.Add((New-Object System.Data.CData.MSTeams.MSTeamsParameter("@myId","Jq74mCczmFXk1tC10GB")))
$cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

Delete Microsoft Teams Data


$cmd =  New-Object System.Data.CData.MSTeams.MSTeamsCommand("DELETE FROM Teams WHERE Id=@myId", $conn)
$cmd.Parameters.Add((New-Object System.Data.CData.MSTeams.MSTeamsParameter("@myId","001d000000YBRseAAH")))
$cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
