POWERSHELL

1/19/2023

 
icrosoft PowerShell is a powerful tool that can be used to automate various tasks in Azure, including the creation of users. One way to create multiple users in an Azure tenant is by using a .csv file that contains the necessary information for each user. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps of using PowerShell to create users in an Azure tenant from a .csv file.
  1. First, open the PowerShell ISE and connect to your Azure tenant by running the command Connect-AzAccount. You will be prompted to enter your Azure credentials.
  2. Next, create a new .csv file that contains the necessary information for the users you want to create. The .csv file should have the following headers: "UserName", "Password", "DisplayName", and "MailNickname". Each row should contain the information for a single user.
  3. Import the .csv file into PowerShell by running the command $users = Import-Csv -Path "path\to\file.csv". Replace "path\to\file.csv" with the actual path to your .csv file.
  4. Loop through each user in the .csv file using the command foreach ($user in $users).
  5. Within the loop, create a new Azure AD user by running the command New-AzADUser -UserPrincipalName $user.UserName -DisplayName $user.DisplayName -MailNickName $user.MailNickname -AccountEnabled $true -Password (ConvertTo-SecureString -String $user.Password -AsPlainText -Force)
  6. End the loop by running }
  7. Run the script and it will create users in your azure tenant.
Note: Make sure that you are running these commands in Azure AD PowerShell module and also that you have the necessary permissions to create users in your Azure tenant.
By following these steps, you can use PowerShell to automate the creation of multiple users in an Azure tenant from a .csv file. This can save a lot of time and effort compared to manually creating each user, especially if you need to create a large number of users.
