How to Install Azure Active Directory PowerShell for Graph Module

You can use the Azure Active Directory PowerShell module version for Graph for Entra ID administrative tasks such as user management, domain management and for configuring single sign-on. The cmdlets listed here are different from the MSOnline cmdlets which are part of Azure Active Directory PowerShell version 1.0.

Important: Entra ID PowerShell is planned for deprecation. For more details on the deprecation plans, see the deprecation update. You can start trying Microsoft Graph PowerShell to interact with Entra ID as you would in Entra ID PowerShell. In addition, Microsoft Graph PowerShell allows you access to all Microsoft Graph APIs and is available on PowerShell 7.

Installing the Entra ID Module

Note Note: The Entra ID PowerShell module is not compatible with PowerShell 7. It is only supported in PowerShell 5.1.

To install the General Availability version of the module, run:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope LocalMachine -Force;
Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -Force;
Set-PSRepository -Name "PSGallery" -InstallationPolicy Trusted;
Install-Module -Name AzureAD;
Import-Module AzureAD;

To install the public preview release, run:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope LocalMachine -Force;
Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -Force;
Set-PSRepository -Name "PSGallery" -InstallationPolicy Trusted;
Install-module AzureADPreview;
Import-Module AzureADPreview;

Connect to Entra ID for your Microsoft 365 subscription

Before you can run any of the cmdlets discussed in this article, you must first connect to your online service. To do so, run the cmdlet Connect-AzureAD at the Windows PowerShell command prompt. You will then be prompted for your credentials.

Connect-AzureAD

After you connect, you can use the cmdlets for the Azure Active Directory PowerShell for Graph module.
