Microsoft Entra PowerShell

Microsoft Entra PowerShell, is a command-line tool that allows administrators and developers to manage and automate Microsoft Entra resources programmatically. This module is developed based on customer feedback to meet usability needs. Microsoft Entra PowerShell is meticulously designed to deliver a delightful, usable, and high-quality collection of PowerShell cmdlets for Entra administrators.

The module offers human-readable parameters, deliberate parameter set specification, inline documentation, and core PowerShell fundamentals like pipelining. The module builds upon the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK. It’s fully interoperable with all cmdlets in the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK.

The module also offers a backward compatibility option to streamline migration from the retiring AzureAD PowerShell module. Microsoft Entra PowerShell works with Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7+. For the best experience on Windows, Linux, and macOS, we recommend using PowerShell 7 or later.

Known Issues

Some properties names change between the Azure AD PowerShell module and Microsoft Graph endpoints:
- Parameter -Filter might not work correctly
