Script to Backup and Restore Azure AD Group Members and Owners by ImmutableId

This script facilitates the backup and restoration of Azure AD group members and owners based on their ImmutableId. It connects to a source tenant to back up group details, members, and owners, storing them in XML files. For restoration, it connects to a destination tenant, creates missing groups, and syncs members and owners by matching their ImmutableId. Additionally, the script includes functions to handle keyword replacements in the XML files, useful when migrating between different tenants.

Here is the script:
