PowerShell preamble to get nuget to get CSOM SDK so as to be able to authenticate to SharePoint Online from script
Raw
SharePoint_Online_preamble_nuget_CSOM_SDK.ps1
<# I have had a surprisingly hard time finding successful PowerShell interfaces to SharePoint online.
in lieu of a "pure" powershell replacement for the CSOM client (i.e., an import-module way rather than an SDK installation prerequisite)
I had pretty good luck with this "not so pure" (but still executable inside of same powershell script) preamble.
