Why any test are not run or skipped

[DirSch1985]

Hello,
i need help. I have Maester deployed via AzureDevOps but many test example :
MT.1033: User should be blocked from using legacy authentication ()
CISA.MS.EXO.9.4: Alternatively chosen filtering solutions
and all ORCA Tests are not run or skipped.

have anyone an idea why ?

Some tests are disabled by default based on tags, others have requirements.

• MT.1033 and MT.1034 relies on an API in public preview and needs to be explicitly enabled. This is mentioned in the docs: https://maester.dev/docs/tests/MT.1033

• CISA.MS.EXO.* will be skipped unless you've selected to connect to Exchange Online. CISA.MS.EXO.9.4 in particular says "Note: This test will always result in a skip result." in the test details (click on it on the HTML-report).

Hi fflaten,
okay understood.
But I can't get the connection to Exchange Online to work.
Have you tried it exactly as in the GitLab instructions?

Haven't tried it (not a maintainer, just a visitor 🙂), but I don't believe that works no.

The Gitlab-docs includes a permission section for ExchangeOnline, because it's part of a reusable section, but the remaining docs does not cover connection to ExchangeOnline before calling Invoke-Maester.

You need similar code as this, only adjusted for Gitlab. This relies on an existing Azure PS module login in Azure DevOps:
