What is in this Pull Request ?
I used this parameter in a project, and wondered why it didn't work.
I discoverd that the parameter "-RemoveExisting" i.e. in function "Add-Microsoft365GroupMember" (and others) was implemented, but completely out of function.
I want to give this PR into a little discussion, because i don't know if i really covered all scenarios in a good way.
Explanation:
While using Add-AzureADGroupe[Member|Owner] as i can see, the code split the input users into guid-users and none guid-users, and add them separately, so i am clearing the group before the both functions are called.
-> Clearing the Owners is not really possible, because there has to be one Owner left on the given group. So my PR could lead into having 2 owners on the group in the end, instead of the only one i want.
With M365Groups it was a bit easier, there i am using the "Update-[Members|Owners]" functions, which first adds not existing Users to the group and delete users, who should not be member of the group.
It is my first work on this project, and therefor i only want to make small changes and give you the possibility to dicuss. I don't want to really get deeper into huge changes, like combining addmembers and adddirectorymembers into one function (if it is even possible)
Guidance
i was using version 3.1.0 of this module and you can reproduce it with any group
