![]() The following example shows how to connect with this method. One advantage of the Microsoft Graph PowerShell method is to use a predefined Azure Active Directory app registration and certificate with the corresponding Graph API permissions as a connection method, which gives you a way to create different connection types. ![]() Lastly, this example shows how to connect with the Microsoft Graph PowerShell module with a browser authentication request: Connect-MgGraph -Scopes ` The following commands show how to connect using the MSOnline PowerShell module: $credentials = Get-CredentialĬonnect-MsolService -Credential $credentials ![]() The following commands show how to connect using the AzureAD PowerShell module: $credentials = Get-Credential The scopes determine which commands can execute within Microsoft Graph. However, the Microsoft Graph commands support browser, token access, certificate authentication and a requirement to pass the permissions, referred to as scopes, as part of the connection. The commands in the AzureAD and MSOnline modules support browser, credential object and token access authentication. For example, the AzureAD module uses Connect-AzureAD and the MSOnline online module uses Connect-MsolService while the Microsoft Graph module uses Connect-MgGraph. You install and import the required module in the current model, then call the service-specific Connect command. For the Microsoft Graph, the module name is Microsoft.Graph.Īnother difference is the connection method to the specific service. The Azure Active Directory module is called AzureAD and the Microsoft Online module is named MSOnline. What is the difference between the current and the Microsoft Graph commands?Ī core difference between Azure Active Directory and Microsoft Online commands, and the Microsoft Graph is the required PowerShell modules. Microsoft's goal is to ensure that every current Azure Active Directory feature has a matching Microsoft Graph command. There are software development kits (SDKs) available for several languages, including a new Microsoft Graph PowerShell module. Microsoft links all services within the Microsoft Graph to make it the best option to query and update Microsoft 365 services. Microsoft's future investments for identity management will focus on enhancing Microsoft Graph PowerShell commands. ![]() ![]() For example, organizations could build applications that access data across multiple Microsoft 365 services instead of manually accessing various applications such as Exchange Online email, SharePoint Online files, Planner tasks and user information. Microsoft Graph is a single endpoint that gives API access that returns many objects for Microsoft 365. Microsoft Graph connects to the Azure Active Directory, which is the technology used to manage identities of users on Office 365/Microsoft 365. Microsoft Graph connects the data from users with the Microsoft 365 services that admins can then use to pull information or to make configuration changes. Without support or security updates, organizations that use custom applications, existing code and even PowerShell modules developed by Microsoft that use ADAL should begin to make the transition to the newer technologies.Įditor’s note: On March 1, Microsoft released a blog that stated it would postpone the retirement of the Azure Active Directory Graph API from June 30 until "at least the end of this year" due to customer concerns related to the "challenges of migrating such a critical dependency." Why the Microsoft Graph?įor last several years, Microsoft has developed the Microsoft Graph, which is a unified programmability model used to work with the data from Microsoft 365, Windows 10 and the Enterprise Mobility and Security services. The Azure Active Directory Graph API will not get a response from the Azure AD Graph endpoint. At that point, the company will not provide security updates however, it said apps using ADAL will still function. Microsoft said it will end support for ADAL and the Azure Active Directory Graph API on June 30, 2022. ![]()
