Get-AzADGroupMember not working

Question

Get-AzADGroupMember not working

Apurva Pathak 890

Hi folks, I am using Azure AD PowerShell to query group members of an Azure AD group using its object Id. But weirdly enough the command says the object does not exist, but it does. I ruled out any spaces etc. in the input file but of no joy. I was using the same script and same input file until last Wednesday and it was all working, but suddenly it stopped. Could anyone please help here: Error: User's image I tried running Get-AzADGroup but same error:

Group in AD: User's image

Thanks in advance!

To add on, just tried querying the on Cloud shell and the same command works, I checked the version of Az.Resources (module which is used by this command) module installed on my machine and that is same as Cloud Shell.

Have you tried Running get-AzContext to check whether you are connected to the Correct Tenant?

Thanks a lot @dashanan13 and @Julian Sperling Issue was with 'Subscription' context but the point I am unable to understand is that I was using Connect-AzureAD command to connect to Entra Id and it was authenticating to right the Tenant then why and how my subscription context was causing this issue. Snip below for reference:

Thanks a lot again for suggesting!

@Apurva Pathak

The script takes up its own context and your case its a random pick. Ideally the script should start with connect-azaccount to make sure that correct context is set. It also does not help that you are authenticating with Azure module and using AZ module commands there after to query for information. These 2 modules don't mix. Either both should be AZ module commands or both should be Azure module commands, i prefer AZ as its new.

@dashanan13 Thanks for advising but TBH I really got some error related to Azure AD which is why I added Connect-AzureAD to my script but never mind, now I know it was silly me :). Thanks again for your help! Please share your comment as answer so that I can accept it. Cheers!

Hei @Apurva Pathak , Thank for contacting Microsoft Q&A. This seems like a context issue and as suggested by @Julian Sperling above, you may want to check context and set correct context before executing the command. It should go about such:

Login with correct credentials: Connect-AzAccount
(this will make sure you are logged in with correct credentials on correct tenant etc)
Check Azure Context: Get-Azcontext
Set Azure Context: Set-AzContext -Subscription "xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx"
(output should be name etc of the subscription set)
Execute the command and check if it still fails

If this helped, do mark this as answer
