Summary:
Microsoft Purview will introduce a new PowerShell cmdlet to export adaptive scope members, enabling automated, resumable exports with granular control. Available by January 2026 worldwide, this feature complements the existing portal without affecting current workflows. No preparation is required, but admins may update scripts or inform teams.

[Introduction]
We're adding a new way for Microsoft Purview administrators to export adaptive scope members using PowerShell. Today, admins can review current and historical membership in adaptive scopes through the Purview portal. Based on customer feedback, we are introducing a PowerShell cmdlet that offers more flexibility-enabling automated exports, offline analysis, and the ability to resume exports if an operation is interrupted.
[When this will happen]
General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCCH, and DoD): Rollout began and will be completed within January 2026.
