donnuwanto use the command "Set-AzureADUser -ObjectID <sign-in name of the user account> -AccountEnabled $false"
You should first use the command "Connect-AzureAD -Credential $O365Creds"

So if you use Azure Automation you can create a new "Automation Account". In there you can go to Credentials under Shared Resources.

The name you give the credential you can use in a runbook by calling

$O365Cred = Get-AutomationPSCredential -Name "<your credentials name>"

So the complete script can be something like this

param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
[guid]
$UserObjectId
)

$O365Cred = Get-AutomationPSCredential -Name "AzureADAdminCred"

Connect-AzureAD -Credential $O365Creds

Set-AzureADUser -ObjectID $UserObjectId -AccountEnabled $false

Then you can run this runbook and then you are asked to give the ObjectId of the user to run it.

Hope this helps.
