New Blog | Important update: Deprecation of Azure AD PowerShell and MSOnline PowerShell modules

[DavidFernandes]

By Kristopher Bash

In 2021, we described our plans to invest in Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK as the PowerShell provider for Microsoft Entra and transition away from Azure AD and MSOnline PowerShell modules. In 2023, we announced that the deprecation of Azure AD and MSOnline PowerShell modules would occur on March 30, 2024. We’ve since made substantial progress closing remaining parity gaps in Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK, and as of March 30, 2024, these PowerShell modules are now deprecated:

• Azure AD PowerShell (AzureAD) 
• Azure AD PowerShell Preview (AzureADPreview) 
• MS Online (MSOnline) 

You should migrate your scripts to Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK as soon as possible. Information about the retirement of these modules can be found below.

What happens to MSOnline and Azure AD Modules after March 30, 2024?

As of March 30, 2024, Azure AD, Azure AD Preview, and MS Online PowerShell modules are deprecated. Support will only be offered for critical security fixes. They will continue to function through March 30, 2025. Note: Only MSOnline versions 1.1.166.0 (2017) and later are assured to function through March 30, 2025. Use of versions earlier than 1.1.166.0 may experience disruptions after June 30, 2024.

HI @DavidFernandes,

Can you please share the specific date when the Azure AD, Azure AD Preview, and MSOnline PowerShell modules are scheduled for deprecation?

Will it stop working after the 6months(October 2024)?

What is the scope of the existing scripts if the deprecation started?

Thank you.

I'd highly recommend cross-posting this into the PowerShell channel, too.
