Limitations of using PowerShell:
- Executing PowerShell scripts is time-consuming since IT admins spend a lot of time researching syntax and debugging errors.
- Delegation can pose a risk since technicians require elevated permissions in native Azure AD.
- The productivity of IT admins is hampered and more crucial tasks are pushed down the queue.
- There can be a shortage of technical expertise.
