If you're in a GCCH cloud, be aware of this very important gotcha before your CMMC auditors come in and start running scripts:
Settings displayed from PowerShell output using Exchange Online Management, Teams PowerShell, and SPOService are OFTEN DIFFERENT from what is displayed in the UI

Why can't I just keep a Microsoft 365 Developer subscription. I would like to keep this for my homelab. Why does Microsoft make it so difficult to keep a 365 developer subscription.
Looks like after 2 years they are finally shutting down my developer subscription.
