Linux compatibility for AzureAD Powershell Module
As mentioned in https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/5274, the AzureAD module is not compatible with Linux.
210 votesThis is in the works, hoping to be able to release a new version in the next couple of weeks that supports running on Linux (and Mac)

Find all users with app passwords
We think that it's necessary to have a command for PowerShell to show app passwords per user. It would also need to show what app the password is being used for. MFA is pointless with thousands of app passwords. Not every user we've enforced has set up app passwords. this is what me and many other admins would like to know.

Add a friendly name attribute when getting MSOL license/SKU (Get-MsolAccountSku)
Please add a "FriendlyName" attribute when doing a license search via Powershell (Get-MsolAccountSku).
If I give you an example. The command "Get-MsolAccountSku" retrieve the following information for an SKU :ExtensionData : System.Runtime.Serialization.ExtensionDataObject
AccountName : xxxxx
AccountObjectId : xxxxxxxxx
AccountSkuId : xxxxx:FLOWFREE
ActiveUnits : xxxxx
ConsumedUnits : 0
LockedOutUnits : 0
ServiceStatus : {Microsoft.Online.Administration.ServiceStatus, Microsoft.Online.Administration.ServiceStatus, Microsoft.Online.Administration.ServiceStatus}
SkuId : f30db892-07e9-47e9-837c-80727f46fd3d
SkuPartNumber : FLOWFREE
SubscriptionIds : {xxxxxxxxxx}
SuspendedUnits : 0
TargetClass : User
WarningUnits : 0Please add the friendly name for the license in the result. For the moment, we only have this document https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/licensing-service-plan-reference

Set-AzureADUser - setting null value for attribute Mobile or TelephoneNumber
See also at https://github.com/Azure/azure-docs-powershell-azuread/issues/166
Set-AzureADUser -objectid -Mobile "$null" will generate an error.
set-AzureADUser : Error occurred while executing SetUser
Code: Request_BadRequest
Message: Invalid value specified for property 'mobile' of resource 'User'.Expected behaviour: properties Mobile and TelephoneNumber should be able to set to $Null or "" (empty string). It works via the Graph API and the Office 365 Admin Portal, but not with PS AzureAD module.

Powershell SAML App Automation
With having to register SAML based applications very frequently, it gets very time consuming to have to add/update/delete these manually. We already have automation in place for JWT based applications using AzureAD module. I don't see why the same can't exist for SAML (non-gallery/gallery) applications.
Module should handle:
- Gallery/Non-Gallery/On-Premise (I believe tags are used to distinguish this)
- Type of SSO (SAML, pass-based. and linked)
- - - At least for SAML, the module should handle steps 1-4
- Handle the provisioning aspectsFrom my understanding some of this can be done using AzureADServicePrincipal cmdlets of AzureAD, but not…

Use Powershell standards for Powershell cmdlets
The AzureADcmdlets do not obey standard Powershell coding guidelines/rules/practices that make them weird and harder than necessary to use. Three examples:
-All (For instance in Get-AzureADUser Get-AzureAD...) should be a switch, not a boolean.
-WhatIf should be supported by all Set-* commandlets, and should ideally be able to display the object being changed (like Set-ADUser does). If it doesn't, then at least it will be possible to validate the parameterset.
-Set-AzureADUser -ExtensionProperty wants a 'system.collections.generic.dictionary[string,string]'. However, you only need a hashmap, and Generics is not straight forward in Powershell. Hashmaps are.

Provide PowerShell access to user extension attributes used in Azure App SAML claims
We need access to get and set the values using PowerShell for user.extensionattribute1 to user.extensionattribute15. On-prem users have these values synchronized via Azure AD Connect, but I'd like to set the values manually for our cloud-only users.

Password-based SSO - change credentials using powershell
We want the ability to be able to update user credentials for password-based SSO apps using powershell so we can script it, as we set credentials for each user individually. To set up for hundreds or thousands of users this will take a very long time using the UI.
I have googled this for hours, and came close to finding a script that could do it but unfortunately couldn't get it to work in our scenario.
Can we please get this functionality?

Possibility to set attribute LastPasswordChangeTimestamp
Following to the article
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4025960/federated-users-in-azure-ad-are-forced-to-sign-in-frequently we're trying to set the attribute LastPasswordChangeTimestamp with powershell.By using the CMDlet "Set-MsolUser" with the parameter "LastPasswordChangeTimestamp" nothing happens. The value stays empty / does not change. No error message from the CMDlet. Seems to be a bug!
The new CMDlet "Set-AzureADUser" does not like to support this action, at least there is no parameter like “LastPasswordChangeTimestamp”: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/azuread/set-azureaduser?view=azureadps-2.0
Please give us a way to programmatically set the attribute LastPasswordChangeTimestamp for an azure ad user.

Add support for creating native AD applications via PowerShell cmdlets
The current version of the New-AzureRMADApplication cmdlet only supports creating web applications in Azure AD. Please add support for creating Native Applications as well.
16 votesThe new Azure AD PowerShell module that is under development will include support for applications. (Note: These will be following the -AzureAD pattern, not -AzureRm, convention, which is specific to Azure Resource Manager.)

Edit Office 365 Group ProxyAddresses
There is an issue with Office 365 group and email aliases. If a user creates a group named "All amazing people" it will create Office 365 email alias allamazingpeople@contoso.com. But in certain instances there are customers (like us) that use Azure AD Sync. So when I create distribution group in our AD, with same email name I get a sync issue.
If I rename Office 365 group and change email address, for some reason all aliases are kept, so the only solution is to remove Office 365 group. I have worked with support when it was mentioned "remove group,…

Provide an Azure Active Directory module for PowerShell 7
PowerShell 7 is cross-platform.
Currently there are Azure modules for PowerShell 7, there is no Azure AD module.It would be beneficial to provide PowerShell 7 support for Azure AD.
In my environment, we have some tasks that need to be performed on Linux and currently we have to split a job that could be handled by a single script in half as part of it must run on Windows due to a lack of PowerShell 7 support.Please provide an Azure Active Directory module for Powershell 7

There is currently no way to specify a manager of a user using PowerShell
Currently, using the MSOnline PowerShell module, we can specify many properties of an Azure AD User, including the title, city and name, things like that. However, there is no ability to specify the user's manager, among other fields.
The only method to achieve this is through the REST API, which requires using oAuth2.0, something which is very difficult to accomplish using PowerShell.
I'd recommend these missing management areas be covered with an update to the PowerShell module.

Update AzureAD PowerShell Module to use Microsoft Graph
As per Microsoft's own recommendations (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/active-directory-graph-api), the PowerShell Module for AzureAD should be updated to use Microsoft Graph, instead of the Azure AD Graph API.
This would allow much more granular permissions to be granted to Registered Applications, helping to increase the security of applications used to perform automation tasks.

Add a parameter for Set-MsolUserLicense for enabling individual features.
Currently, the Set-MsolUserLicense cmdlet uses reverse logic for what features should be enabled for a user's license.
You need to define what features should not be enabled rather than what features should be enabled.
This causes challenges when it comes to rolling out a new feature if there is not complete autonomy in how an organization's features are configured.
It is not as easy to for example go through and indicate to turn on a particular feature for all users and leave their existing features intact.
It would be very helpful to have an option to enable a particular feature…
