Editor's note
As more organizations make the move from an on-premises messaging or collaboration platform to Office 365, the admin center may not be robust enough to manage dozens -- or thousands -- of end users.
Microsoft gives administrators a familiar tool to manage these cloud-based services -- the PowerShell command-line shell and its related scripting language. While IT staff can use the GUI within the admin center, Office 365 PowerShell cmdlets give admins better control over cloud assets.
