Issue connecting to AZ module

[jesslaure]

I am new to using Powershell, and I am using it to set up an off-boarding process at my company. I initially used the AzureAd module, but that will be deprecated soon. I am using "

Connect-AzAccount -Credential $credential" to connect. After that, I am using

“$userId = Get-AzAdUser -UserPrincipalName $LeaverEmail” to pull the user id or the Azure user. When I used this method, the $userid variable returned “Microsoft.Azure.Commands.ActiveDirectory.PSADUser.” I will attach a screenshot of the code.

Write-Output "The userId is $($userId.SamAccountName)"

$userId is the entire object, you want just a single property. In this case SamAccountName.

Welcome to the forum! When posting code, it’s a lot easier to read if you post it vs. screenshots. You can use the </> button on the toolbar to paste in. Be sure to select PowerShell from the drop down as well.

Final point, to future proof your script, MS Graph API is the way to go. I see a few references to it in your code. Here’s a few links to get you started:

Thank you so much! I will apply these tips to my runbook.
