PowerShell: Get the Office 365 Endpoint Information from Microsoft

A while ago, I published the reworked script to get Office 365 URLs and IP address ranges. Microsoft has built a new fully rest full Webservice to get the same information via JSON instead of XML. The only drawback of the new service: If you like to use it for a single produce, you need to filter after you have downloaded the information. The product sets are limited.

However, there are a lot of examples in the new script, these examples show you how, where, and what to filter.

Here is the latest version of the new Script:

#requires -Version 3.0
<#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Get the Office 365 Endpoint Information from Microsoft via the new RestFull Webservice (JSON)

    .DESCRIPTION
    Microsoft updates the Office 365 IP address and FQDN entries at the end of each month and occasionally out of the cycle for operational or support requirements.

    This function uses the new JSON based Webserice instead of the old XML based one; the XML based service will be retired soon by Microsoft.

    The Function will compare the last downloaded version with the latest available online version, if there is no update available, the function does nothing. If there is an update, the function will do what you told it to. If you want to enforce the download, just delete the O365_endpoints_*_latestversion.txt in your $Env:TEMP Directory. The * is a placeholder, for the Instance name.

    .PARAMETER Instance
    The short name of the Office 365 service instance.
    Valid: Worldwide, USGovDoD, USGovGCCHigh, China, Germany
    The default is: Worldwide

    .PARAMETER Services
    Valid items are All, Common, Exchange, SharePoint, Skype.
    Because Common service area items are a prerequisite for all other service areas it is included every time - Adopted that from the Microsoft Statement; nevertheless, we disagree with the selection of Microsoft. There are way to many endpoints included here!
    The default is: All

    .PARAMETER Tenant
    Your Office 365 tenant name.
    The web service takes your provided name and inserts it in parts of URLs that include the tenant name.
    If you don't provide a tenant name, those parts of URLs have the wildcard character (*).

    .PARAMETER NoIPv6
    Query string parameter. Set this to true to exclude IPv6 addresses from the output, for example, if you don't use IPv6 in your network.
    The default is FALSE

    .PARAMETER ExpressRoute
    Only display endpoints that could be routed over ExpressRoute.
    Default is: FALSE - All endpoints will be exported

    .PARAMETER Category
    The connectivity category for the endpoint set.
    Valid values are: All, Optimize, Allow, and Default.
    Default is: 'All'

    .PARAMETER Required
    This endpoint set is required to have connectivity for Office 365 to be supported.
    Default is: FALSE

    .PARAMETER Output
    What to return?
    Values are: All, IPv4, IPv6, URLs
    Default is: All

    .EXAMPLE
    PS C:\> .\Get-Office365Endpoints.ps1

    It gets the International (Worldwide) Office 365 URLs, IPv4, and IPv6 address ranges.

    .EXAMPLE
    PS C:\> .\Get-Office365Endpoints.ps1 -Instance Germany

    It gets the Office 365 Germany URLs, IPv4 address ranges. It would also return IPv6, but IPv6 is not supported, at least not yet.

    .EXAMPLE
    PS C:\> .\Get-Office365Endpoints.ps1 -Instance Germany -Category Optimize

    It gets the Office 365 Germany URLs, IPv4 address ranges. Only in the category 'Optimize'. It would also return IPv6, but IPv6 is not supported, at least not yet.

    .EXAMPLE
    PS C:\> .\Get-Office365Endpoints.ps1 -Instance Worldwide -Services Exchange -Required

    It gets the International (Worldwide) Office 365 URLs, IPv4, and IPv6 address ranges for Exchange and everything to be supported (includes CDNs and other, even external, services).

    .EXAMPLE
    PS C:\> .\Get-Office365Endpoints.ps1 -Instance Worldwide -Services Exchange -Required -Tenant 'contoso'

    It gets the International (Worldwide) Office 365 URLs, IPv4, and IPv6 address ranges for Exchange and everything to be supported (includes CDNs and other, even external, services); this example includes URLs for the tenant with the Name 'contoso'.
    The Tenant based URLs are generated and not checked, so please make sure you use the correct name!

    .EXAMPLE
    PS C:\> ((.\Get-Office365Endpoints.ps1 -Instance Worldwide -Services Exchange -Tenant 'kreativsign' -Output URLs -Required).url | Sort-Object -Unique) -join "," | Out-String

    It gets the International (Worldwide) Office 365 URLs, IPv4, and IPv6 address ranges for Exchange and everything to be supported (includes CDNs and other, even external, services); this example includes URLs for the tenant with the Name 'contoso'.
    The Tenant based URLs are generated and not checked, so please make sure you use the correct name! !
    It just dumps the URLs in a comma separated (CSV) format. Useful for Proxy Servers.

    .EXAMPLE
    PS C:\> (((.\Get-Office365Endpoints.ps1 -Instance Worldwide -Services Exchange -Output IPv4) | Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.tcpPorts -eq '587'}).ip | Sort-Object -Unique) -join "," | Out-String

    It gets the International (Worldwide) Office 365 IPv4 addresses for Exchange Submission (SMTP) Servers who use Port 587. It dumps a comma separated (CSV) format. Useful for Firewalls.

    .EXAMPLE
    PS C:\> (((.\Get-Office365Endpoints.ps1 -Instance Worldwide -Services Exchange -Output IPv6) | Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.tcpPorts -eq '25'}).ip | Sort-Object -Unique) -join "," | Out-String

    It gets the International (Worldwide) Office 365 IPv4 addresses for Exchange SMTP Servers who use Port 25. It dumps a comma separated (CSV) format. Useful for Firewalls.

    .EXAMPLE
    PS C:\> (((.\Get-Office365Endpoints.ps1 -Instance Worldwide -Services Exchange -Output URLs) | Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.notes -like '*Exchange Hybrid Configuration Wizard*' }).url | Sort-Object -Unique) -join "," | Out-String

    Get a List of Exchange Online URLs that you might need if you want to run the Exchange Hybrid Configuration Wizard.

    .EXAMPLE
    PS C:\> ((.\Get-Office365Endpoints.ps1 -Instance Worldwide -Output 'IPv4' -ExpressRoute).ip | Sort-Object -Unique) -join "," | Out-String

    Get a List of IPv4 addresses for ExpressRoute configuration.

    .EXAMPLE
    PS C:\> ((.\Get-Office365Endpoints.ps1 -Instance Worldwide -Output 'IPv6' -ExpressRoute).ip | Sort-Object -Unique) -join "," | Out-String

    Get a List of IPv6 addresses for ExpressRoute configuration. Please note: IPv6 is not supported with ExpressRoute in every Instance, (example: Germany)

    .EXAMPLE
    PS C:\> ((.\Get-Office365Endpoints.ps1 -Instance Worldwide -NoIPv6).ip | Sort-Object -Unique) -join "," | Out-String

    Get a list of IP addreses and exclude IPv6. The benefit of this parameter is the NoIPv6 parameter: The call will exclude the IPv6 Data from the response, and that might be smarter than filter it. It might be handy if you do NOT use IPv6 within your network - If this is the case, you might miss the future of networking! Think about that, before ignoring IPv6.

    .NOTES
    Initial Version that uses the new Microsoft Service. A few things are still missing or not rock solid.
    However, we needed a solution to configure ExpressRoute now, so we started with some rework to use the new Webservice.

    This function is part of the commercial en.Office365 PowerShell Module - Distributed separately as OpenSouce with a very flexible license (See below)

    Some parts of the script are based upon the example that Microsoft published on the info page of the new Webservice!
