Authenticate to Connect-MSGraph with PowerShell

Copper Contributor

Let me preface this question by stating I may be misunderstanding how this is supposed to work. I'm writing a PowerShell script and need to be able to connect to MS Graph to use Intune Graph. I'm running the following: 

 

$authparams = @{
    ClientId     = 'appID'
    TenantId     = 'tenantID'
    ClientSecret = ('appSecret' | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force)
}

$token = Get-MsalToken @authparams

$authorizationHeader = @{
    Authorization = $token.CreateAuthorizationHeader()
}

$requestURL = "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/deviceManagement/managedDevices"
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $requestURL -Headers $authorizationHeader

 

Which comes back successful, but when I run a cmd, for example Get-IntuneMangedDevice , it returns

 

Get-IntuneManagedDevice : Not authenticated.  Please use the "Connect-MSGraph" command to authenticate.
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-IntuneManagedDevice
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : AuthenticationError: (:) [Get-DeviceManagement_ManagedDevices], InvalidOperationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PowerShellGraphSDK_NotAuthenticated,Microsoft.Intune.PowerShellGraphSDK.PowerShellCmdlets.Get_DeviceManagement_ManagedDevices

 

I thought the first bit of code was authenticating? Am I misunderstanding how this works?

It's authenticating, but that doesn't mean the token you're getting is being procured for the purposes of the MSGraph module. Instead, you can use the token directly when submitting a HTTPS request against the Graph.
Use the Connect-MSGraph cmdlet as suggested in the error message.
