This pull request introduces a new workflow for generating tenant configuration delta reports, allowing for comparison of Microsoft365DSC exports between a source and one or more destination tenants. The workflow is implemented as a post-export step, keeping it separate from the main export pipeline. Key changes span task definitions, pipeline configuration, and supporting documentation.

Delta report workflow implementation:

  • Added the NewM365DscDeltaReport task in .build/Export/DeltaReport.ps1, which merges exported tenant configurations, validates inputs, and generates HTML drift reports comparing the source tenant to all others using Join-M365DSCConfiguration and New-M365DSCDeltaReport.
  • Introduced the InitializeModuleFolderForDeltaReport task in .build/DscConfigurationTasks.ps1 to prepare required modules for the delta report process; also improved module folder cleanup with a safer PowerShell cmdlet. [1] [2]

Build and pipeline integration:

  • Updated build.yaml to add a new deltaReport Invoke-Build workflow, enabling the delta report task to run independently.
  • Added pipelines/deltaReport.yml, a dedicated Azure DevOps pipeline that downloads exported configuration artifacts, initializes modules, runs the delta report, and publishes the resulting reports as a pipeline artifact.
  • Modified lab/20 Configure AzDo Project.ps1 to register the new deltaReport pipeline in the Azure DevOps project.

Documentation and project tracking:

  • Updated .memory-bank files and CHANGELOG.md to document the new workflow, its rationale, and its integration points, ensuring project context and recent milestones reflect the addition. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

These changes collectively enable automated, artifact-based drift analysis across tenants, improving post-export validation and reporting.

Walkthrough

The change adds a post-export workflow that merges tenant configuration artifacts, generates HTML drift reports, and publishes them through a dedicated Azure DevOps pipeline. It also adds module initialization support and updates project documentation and records.

Changes

Tenant delta-report workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Delta report generation
.build/Export/DeltaReport.ps1
Adds NewM365DscDeltaReport. The task validates inputs, discovers tenant exports, merges configurations with Join-M365DSCConfiguration, validates tenants, and generates HTML reports with New-M365DSCDeltaReport.
Build and pipeline orchestration
.build/DscConfigurationTasks.ps1, build.yaml, lab/20 Configure AzDo Project.ps1, pipelines/deltaReport.yml
Adds module initialization for the report workflow, registers the deltaReport build and Azure DevOps pipelines, downloads export artifacts, runs the report task, and publishes DeltaReport.
Workflow records and documentation
.memory-bank/*, CHANGELOG.md
Records the delta-report workflow, its post-export design, verification state, and published artifact. Corrects the documented build script path.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 66dd6

The workflow may publish inaccurate reports when module installation fails, and crafted tenant values may execute as markup when a report is opened. These issues should be resolved before merge.

In @.build/DscConfigurationTasks.ps1:
- Line 118: Update the Copy-Item invocation in the module-copy pipeline to use
terminating error handling instead of SilentlyContinue, and include the source
item’s BaseName in the resulting error message. Preserve the existing
destination, recursion, force, and error-variable behavior.

In @.build/Export/DeltaReport.ps1:
- Line 124: Update the New-M365DSCDeltaReport value-rendering flow to
HTML-encode each source and destination delta value before joining or inserting
them into HTML li elements. Preserve the existing report structure while
ensuring exported tenant values cannot be interpreted as active markup.

In `@pipelines/deltaReport.yml`:
- Line 31: Replace the full environment dump in the pipeline step with an
explicit allowlist of known non-sensitive variables, and log only those selected
values instead of enumerating env:. Preserve the existing formatted output
behavior for the allowlisted variables.
