    I found the PowerShell Command:
    $app = Get-AzureADServicePrincipal -objectID ""
    #Get the Current Expiry Date
    $CurrentExpiryDate = (Get-AzureADServicePrincipalPasswordCredential -ObjectId $App.ObjectId).EndDate

    #Extend the validity of the App by 1 years
    $StartDate = Get-Date
    $EndDate = $StartDate.AddYears(1)
    New-AzureADServicePrincipalPasswordCredential -ObjectId $App.ObjectId -StartDate $StartDate -EndDate $EndDate

If the app secret key has expired, and you can’t find the application under "App Registration" in Azure AD, you might have to take an indirect approach to update the secret key. Here’s what you can do:

  1. Check Enterprise Applications: In Azure AD, under "Enterprise Applications", locate the application representing your SharePoint Online access. If you find it there, note down the Application ID.

  2. Use PowerShell to Regenerate Secret:

    • Ensure you have the AzureAD PowerShell module installed. If not, install it with:
      powershell
       
      Install-Module -Name AzureAD
    • Connect to Azure AD with appropriate permissions:
      powershell
      Connect-AzureAD
    • Use the Application ID to create a new secret key for the Service Principal:
      powershell
      New-AzureADServicePrincipalPasswordCredential -ObjectId <Application ID> -StartDate <Start Date> -EndDate <End Date>
    • This command will generate a new secret key. Make sure to note it down, as it will not be displayed again.

  3. Update Client with New Secret Key:

    • Once you've generated the new secret key, update the client application with the new key so that it n access SharePoint Online.

  4. Revise Application Setup:

    • If possible, locate the original application in "App Registrations" in Azure AD for future management. If you can’t find it, consider re-registering the app to have better control over its configurations and secret keys.  https://draincleaningmasters.com/
