Thanks, this is helpful for those of us who are migrating away from the MSOnline module for managing users. Looking back, I never realized that Connect-MSOLService was sooooo easy compared to all this Graph stuff. MS definitely isn’t making it easy for those of us who are just simple O365 admins needing to add users and assign licenses, and not full-time coders.

Paul, great tutorial. thanks for putting it together. simplicity at its finest. also in the near future please let me know if you plan on posting about using MS Graph API for reporting, more specifically from MS Defender like certain reports or leveraging Power BI. Thanks for a very informative tutorial.

hi everyone
You can’t use the same id for certification installed for demonstration, every certificate have its own ID
you should use your own certificate id, for this you can use this commands :

# Get the id for local App installed certificate
$ThumbApp = (Get-ChildItem “Cert:\CurrentUser\My\” | Where-Object FriendlyName -EQ ‘GraphApi – My Automation App’).Thumbprint
$Certificate = Get-ChildItem “Cert:\CurrentUser\My\$ThumbApp”

#Connect to Graph using access token
Connect-MgGraph -TenantId $TenantId -AppId $AppId -Certificate $Certificate

Thanks for the brilliant article – I had been ripping my hair out (or would’ve been if I hadn’t gone bald years ago) trying to figure out how to authenticate for New-MgUserAuthenticationTemporaryAccessPassMethod
It shouldn’t need that much digging to get a decent outline – but yours was the outline that was decent.

I had the same problem – There was a typo in the article – a missing \
Try “Get-ChildItem Cert:\CurrentUser\My\ADDC[…]”

I’m unable to get past the following:
Get-ChildItem Cert:\CurrentUser\ADDC728B7DA662770692275D09F3XXXXXXXXXXXX
Get-ChildItem: Cannot find path ‘\CurrentUser\ADDC728B7DA662770692275D09F3XXXXXXXXXXXX’ because it does not exist.

It’s unable to find the Self signed Cert.
