Issue connecting to AzureAD

PowerShell Universal
1

Hi All,

I have a dashboard that I believe was working in the past, connecting to both AzureAD and Exchange Online. Now it doesn’t seem to be connecting, and I’m not getting any output.

I’ve made a basic dashboard for troubleshooting, with POSHUD: Connect-AzureAD -Credential $AdminCredential it fails to connect, but connecting with Connect-ExchangeOnline -Credential $AdminCredential it succeeds. Both work when using standard powershell.

If it is working, it should log:
ExchangeOnline Connected
AzureAD Connected

To C:\temp\log$date.txt

I’m using Powershell Universal 2.1.2, and my environment is listed as:
5.1.14393.3866 C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe

New-UDDashboard -Title "Testing Primary Offboarding" -Content {

    $global:date = Get-Date -Format MM-yy

    New-UDForm  -Content {

        New-UDTextbox -Id 'Execute' -Label 'Execute'

    } -OnSubmit {

        # Hard-coded credentials

        $username = "<username>"

        $password = "<password>"

        $secureStringPwd = $password | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force 

        $AdminCredential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $username, $secureStringPwd

        Start-Transcript -path "C:\temp\log$date.txt"  

        # Authenticating to services

        Connect-ExchangeOnline -Credential $AdminCredential

        Connect-AzureAD -Credential $AdminCredential

        #Test ExchangeOnline Connection
        #Provided that you have rules on your mailbox
        $test = Get-InboxRule -Mailbox $username

        if($test -eq $null){

         write-host "ExchangeOnline not connected"

        }

        if($test -ne $null){

         write-host "ExchangeOnline Connected"

        }

        #Check AzureAD Connection

        if($azureConnection.Account -eq $null){

          write-host "AzureAD not connected"

        }

        if($azureConnection.Account -ne $null){

          write-host "AzureAD Connected"

        }

        Stop-Transcript

        Get-PSSession | Remove-PSSession

    }

}

Cheers

For testing, have you tried running your “-OnSubmit” section of code outside of PowerShell Universal? If you open a shell directly on the host where PowerShell Universal is running and execute your code, does it connect or not? Basically remove PowerShell Universal from the equation first and validate your code is still working:

        # Hard-coded credentials
        $username = "<username>"
        $password = "<password>"
        $secureStringPwd = $password | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force 
        $AdminCredential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $username, $secureStringPwd
        Start-Transcript -path "C:\temp\log$date.txt"  

        # Authenticating to services
        Connect-ExchangeOnline -Credential $AdminCredential
        Connect-AzureAD -Credential $AdminCredential

        #Test ExchangeOnline Connection
        #Provided that you have rules on your mailbox
        $test = Get-InboxRule -Mailbox $username
        if($test -eq $null){
         write-host "ExchangeOnline not connected"
        }
        if($test -ne $null){
         write-host "ExchangeOnline Connected"
        }

        #Check AzureAD Connection
        if($azureConnection.Account -eq $null){
          write-host "AzureAD not connected"
        }
        if($azureConnection.Account -ne $null){
          write-host "AzureAD Connected"
        }
        Stop-Transcript
        Get-PSSession | Remove-PSSession

If it still fails outside of PowerShell Universal, then you likely have to look at your Azure policies around login/Conditional Access, which is outside the scope of what we can help you with here.
