Hi pck7101

I've tested this with a CloudOnly account

Connect-AzAccount
$HireDate = (Get-Date).AddDays(-10)
Update-AzADUser -UPN email address removed for privacy reasons -EmployeeHireDate $HireDate
Get-AzADUser -UPN email address removed for privacy reasons -Select EmployeeHireDate | fl *hire*

With the Microsoft.Graph PowerShell you can also set the employeeLeaveDateTime

Connect-MgGraph -Scopes user.readwrite.all
$HireDate = (Get-Date).AddDays(-30)
$LeaveDate = Get-Date
Update-MgUser -UserId email address removed for privacy reasons -EmployeeHireDate $HireDate -employeeLeaveDateTime $LeaveDate
Get-MgUser -UserId email address removed for privacy reasons -Property EmployeeHireDate, employeeLeaveDateTime | fl *emp*

Regards

Andres
