Non-interactive way to authenticate to Azure AD using AADInternals?

I'm attempting to use the AADInternals toolkit to simplify the process of generating an Azure AD bulk enrollment provisioning package. However, it seems as if the provided AADInternals documentation only outlines interactive methods of authentication. Being that I'm trying to automate this process through a Powershell script, does anyone know if there is a way to authenticate the AADInternals toolset non-interactively, say through application-based authentication using Microsoft Graph? I haven't been able to determine this myself yet, but I was hoping someone here might have used AADInternals themselves and accomplished this. Thanks!

  • Non-interactive way to authenticate to Azure AD using AADInternals?

    non-interactively, say through application-based authentication using Microsoft Graph?

    You can use Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK is a more modern, reliable, and secure way to automate provisioning tasks in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory). The SDK supports non-interactive logins via service principals, making it perfect for automated workflows

    You can install PowerShell SDK through this MS-Document.

    Create an app registration in the portal and fetch the client ID, tenant ID, and client secret from the app.

    Also, assign API permission like below:

    Portal: enter image description here

    You can use the below command thar will connect non-interactively to authenticate With Azure AD.

    Command:

    $clientId = "<value>"
$SecuredPassword = "<value>"
$tenantID = "<value>"

$SecuredPasswordPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString `
-String $SecuredPassword -AsPlainText -Force

$ClientSecretCredential = New-Object `
-TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential `
-ArgumentList $clientId, $SecuredPasswordPassword

Connect-MgGraph -TenantId $tenantID -ClientSecretCredential $ClientSecretCredential

Get-Mguser

    Output:

    Welcome to Microsoft Graph!
