You mean the Graph API query, or? For any of the SDK cmdlets, you can add the -Verbose/-Debug parameters to get the URL called on the backend. So for the above (with some formatting issues fixed) we have:

Get-MgUser -Filter "userType eq 'Guest' and externalUserState eq 'PendingAcceptance'" -All -Property CreatedDateTime

which translates to:

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/users?$filter=userType eq %27Guest%27 and externalUserState eq %27PendingAcceptance%27&$select=CreatedDateTime

@Vasil Michev ,
Thank you for the guidance and assistance in this thread. Somehow the Mgraph query does not return any result:

Get-MgUser -Filter "userType eq 'Guest' and externalUserState eq 'PendingAcceptance'" -All -Property CreatedDateTime

While the below query returns the correct result:

Get-AzureADUser -All $true -Filter "userType eq 'Guest'" | Where-Object { $_.UserState -eq "PendingAcceptance" }

am I missing something here ?

That's because you've opted to select a specific property, and frankly the SDK cmdlets are crap. The output is there, it's simply not displayed in the console in a proper manner. You can either save it to a variable and reuse it, remove the -Property CreatedDateTime clause or force the raw output to be displayed:

Get-MgUser -Filter "userType eq 'Guest' and externalUserState eq 'PendingAcceptance'" -All

Get-MgUser -Filter "userType eq 'Guest' and externalUserState eq 'PendingAcceptance'" -All -Property CreatedDateTime | fl * -force
