Connect-AzureAD command does not work inside CloudShell if it is in a .ps1 script

[Srijith-Seetharaman]

Whenever I run a powershell script with this in the first lines ( Refer [(a)] for code I am trying to save and run ), I keep seeing the following error:

PS /home/srijith> ./azureRapidOnboarding.ps1
InvalidOperation: /opt/microsoft/powershell/7/profile.ps1:60

This is the code I am trying to run: [(a)]

Connect-AzureAD

How do I proceed? This command works from Azure powershell command prompt, and the issue is when executing the command from a file. Here is a video recording of the same:

The issue is that within Cloud Shell we provide a function which overrides the default Connect-AzureAD so that it uses the custom authentication mechanism Cloud Shell uses to avoid you having to re-enter credentials.

Changing the script to

import-module AzureAD.Standard.Preview
AzureAD.Standard.Preview\Connect-AzureAD -Identity -TenantID $env:ACC_TID

Should work as a workaround. I'll have to look into how we can make this more seamless.

PS try code azure.ps1 as an alternative to editing the file locally and uploading it...

[edyoung]

I believe this workaround works, leaving the issue open so other people who encounter this can see it

i got it to work with the preview import but when i try get-azureaduser i this error

Get-AzureADUser: Error occurred while executing GetUsers
Code: Request_BadRequest
Message: Invalid domain name in the request url.

@judedaryl sounds like your issue is a different one. Could you create a separate bug and include the output from

$DebugPreference="Continue"
Get-AzureADUser -Verbose -Debug

Trying to execute powershell command New-AzureADGroup -DisplayName "mrunamigroup" -MailEnabled $false -SecurityEnabled $true -MailNickName "NotSet" by adding in Bicep file through Deployment script .

Please Note:The workaround which is mentioned in this above was also added Import-module AzureAD.Standard.Preview AzureAD.Standard.Preview\Connect-AzureAD -Identity -TenantID $env:ACC_TID

This Powershell script executes successfully when manually executed on cloud shell also on local Powershell.

Powershell Script $moduleStatus = Get-Module -Name AzureAD if (!$moduleStatus){ Write-Output "AzureAD has not installed, trying to install" Install-Module -Name AzureAD -Force Import-Module -Name AzureAD } if(!$moduleStatus) { Write-Output "AzureAD module is installed" Import-module AzureAD.Standard.Preview AzureAD.Standard.Preview\Connect-AzureAD -Identity -TenantID $env:ACC_TID Get-AzureADGroup New-AzureADGroup -DisplayName "mrunamigroup" -MailEnabled $false -SecurityEnabled $true -MailNickName "NotSet" } else { Write-Output "Unable to install Azure AD module" }
