EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

EXAMPLE 2

Test-MtConnection -Details

Returns a connection summary for all supported services. Default services are listed first, followed by the opt-in Active Directory and GitHub services.

EXAMPLE 3

Test-MtConnection -Service Azure

Checks if the current session is connected to Azure and returns a Boolean result.

EXAMPLE 4

Test-MtConnection -Service ActiveDirectory

Checks whether Connect-Maester -Service ActiveDirectory completed successfully in this session.

EXAMPLE 5

Test-MtConnection -Service GitHub

Checks if the current session is connected to GitHub and returns a Boolean result. Returns $false if Connect-MtGitHub has not been called in this session.

PARAMETERS

-Service

The service to check the connection for. Valid values are 'ActiveDirectory', 'All', 'Azure', 'AzureDevOps', 'ExchangeOnline', 'GitHub', 'Graph', 'SecurityCompliance' (or 'EOP'), 'SharePointOnline', and 'Teams'. The default Boolean check is for Microsoft Graph. When -Details is used without -Service, all services are checked and summarized.

Active Directory and GitHub require an explicit connection before testing; unlike other services they have no auto-detection. Active Directory is not included in -Service All. GitHub is not included in -Service All. Their current session state is included in the default -Details summary.
