This is small guide shows how you can switch or change Azure Active Directory tenant using Powershell and Azure CLI. Before The first step I will show from portal how to switch or change to another domain in Azure active directory. Once you login into portal.azure.com either go into menu and select Azure Active Direcory from list or search for the same in search bar and click on it.
There are 2 ways from the portal to switch to another tenant, As per the screenshot my Starting position is on the Azure Active Directory Overview page.
1st way: Click Switch tenant option.
2nd way: Click on the user id on the top right side, and choose Switch directory.
In the switch tenant Select the Azure AD tenant and click switch, when you select it from Directory + subscription wizard double click the directory to choose it.
You can view the connected Tenant information under Azure Active directory on the Overview page.
PowerShell az module
The above steps are for GUI version. I was automating few stuff and I wanted to switch to another domain. For the task I chose Powershell az module. Below Powershell cmdlets help to switch to another Azure AD.
Powershell Azure Az module Install-Package cannot convert value 2.0.0-preview to type system.version
#Below two commands import module az and connects to Azure subscription. Import-Module az Connect-AzAccount #Fetch the list of available Tenant Ids. Get-AzTenant #Grab the tenant Id Switch to another active directory tenant. Set-AzContext -TenantId XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX #Test and list the users in the directory to verify. Get-AzADUser
Azure CLI
Next steps are for Azure CLI, Login and get the list of added domain tenants with below commands.
#Azure CLI Login az login The default web browser has been opened at https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize. Please continue the login in the web browser. If no web browser is available or if the web browser fails to open, use device code flow with `az login --use-device-code`. You have logged in. Now let us find all the subscriptions to which you have access... The following tenants don't contain accessible subscriptions. Use 'az login --allow-no-subscriptions' to have tenant level access. a59fb284-02ec-4a72-a79a-4a6b6105ab9d 'vcloud-lab.com' #List of the tenants az account tenant list The command requires the extension account. Do you want to install it now? The command will continue to run after the extension is installed. (Y/n): Y Run 'az config set extension.use_dynamic_install=yes_without_prompt' to allow installing extensions without prompt. The installed extension 'account' is experimental and not covered by customer support. Please use with discretion. Command group 'account tenant' is experimental and under development. Reference and support levels: https://aka.ms/CLI_refstatus
Although you can skip above two commands and directly login into required tenant, You can find Primary domain tenant name on the portal.azure.com on the Azure active directory. Just to note, I don't have subscription so I am using the parameter --allow-no-subscriptions.
az login --tenant vcloud-lab.com.onmicrosoft.com --allow-no-subscriptions
Once login is successful on to required subscription, I can test the users list in the given Azure AD tenant.
#list of users list in selected tenant
az ad user list
