ah, ok, if not syncing then you wont be able to get that value from on-prem, short of maybe populating it yourself manually with a script or something and using a custom attribute in Azure perhaps.

Hi Team,
We are on Microsoft 365 and using AzureAD for authentication in our Windows 10 / 11 machines. We are in need of getting the AzureAD/Username either from Azure Active Directory using Powershell or C# for all the members in the AzureAD environment.
We are searching for this for quite sometime but in vain.
Any help on this would be of greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
With Warm Regards,
Sujan

2023-02-22T14:11:38.0566667+00:00 Hi @Andy David - MVP ,
Did a quick try of Get-MgUser - UserID ******@xyz.com using Powershell and in the output, I could not get the AzureAD user name, azuread/sujanc which I am getting when running the script whoami at Windows Command Prompt.
Please note that in AzureAD Portal, my Profile Properties too, could not find the Username azuread/sujanc listed anywhere.
Am I looking for something which is unusual?
Kindly leave your thoughts when you get a chance!
Will keep trying things and will let you posted on the same.
Many thanks,
WIth Warm Regards,
Sujan

2023-03-01T08:05:30.9333333+00:00 Hi @Andy David - MVP , Did a quick try with both PowerShell and GraphExplorer (https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{userObjectId}?$select=onPremisesSamAccountName) and the value returned is null.
Please note that we are NOT using On-premises Active Directory and Azure AD Connect for Syncing. The machines are directly authenticated with Azure Active Directory.
Sorry, missed to let you know this scenario earlier :)
Under this current setup, will we be able to get the onPremisesSamAccountName from AzureAD?
Kindly share your thoughts on this.
Thanks a bunch for your time.
WIth Warm Regards,
Sujan

Fabian Geurts | Olileo 56 Reputation points2023-06-13T12:54:12.43+00:00 Hello
Did you manage to get this ?
I have the same issue where a AzureAD only customer wants to get the Windows Username (used in Azure Virtual Desktop) even before the user is logged on for the first time.
Thank you
Fab
