Copy365UserGroups

A script that looks at a source user in 365 and copies all 365 related groups to the destination user.

Mainly used when setting up new users based of another users access.

Add users to source and destination variables.

$source = "user@domain.com.au"
$destination = "user@domain.com.au"

Output below will be printed in terminal for live feedback and saved in C:\Logs\365Usercopy\ddMMyyyy_hhmm.log
Note: script first checks to see if the log directory is there, if not, it creates it.
