使用#Requires -Modules时遭遇SharePoint PowerShell模块动词警告的技术问询

The warning you're seeing is super common with the SharePoint Online PowerShell module—some of its cmdlets use unapproved verbs (per PowerShell's naming guidelines), which triggers that discoverability note. Since you want to keep relying on #Requires to ensure the module is available, here are a few straightforward fixes to quiet that warning:

1. Combine #Requires with Explicit Import-Module Using -DisableNameChecking #

The #Requires directive makes sure the module is installed, but it doesn’t let you pass parameters to suppress warnings. You can follow it up with an explicit Import-Module call that includes the -DisableNameChecking flag—this specifically squashes the unapproved verb warning:

#Requires -Modules Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell
Import-Module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell -DisableNameChecking

Even if the module was already loaded by #Requires, re-importing it with this flag won’t reload the module unnecessarily—it just silences the annoying warning.

2. Temporarily Suppress All Warnings During Import #

If you don’t mind muting all warnings from the module import (not just the verb one), you can temporarily tweak the $WarningPreference variable and then restore it afterward:

#Requires -Modules Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell
$originalWarningPref = $WarningPreference
$WarningPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
Import-Module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell
$WarningPreference = $originalWarningPref

This way, you won’t miss other important warnings later in your script—you’re only suppressing them for the module import step.

3. Advanced: Create a Wrapper Module Manifest (Long-Term Fix) #

For a more permanent solution, you could build a custom module manifest that re-exports SharePoint cmdlets with approved verbs. This takes a bit more work but eliminates the warning entirely without suppressing it:

• Use New-ModuleManifest to create a manifest file.
• In the manifest, use the CmdletsToExport field to map unapproved verb cmdlets to approved alternatives (e.g., adjusting names to fit PowerShell’s standard verb list).
• Import your wrapper module instead of the SharePoint module directly in your scripts.

This is ideal if you use the SharePoint module across multiple scripts and want to stick strictly to PowerShell’s best practices.

Quick Note #

The unapproved verb warning is just a best practice reminder—using those cmdlets is still safe and fully functional. The fixes above just help clean up your script output so you can focus on what matters.
