I have created an Azure function under consumption plan, that uses PowerShell, then inside the run.ps1, i added this code, to remove a user from all the groups assigned to the user:-


param($Timer)
Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement
Import-Module Microsoft.Graph
# Connect to Microsoft Graph with required delegated scopes
 Write-Host "Start"
Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "User.Read.All", "Group.Read.All", "GroupMember.ReadWrite.All", "Directory.Read.All", "Group.ReadWrite.All" -Identity
 Write-Host "Connect to Graph"
# Connect to Exchange Online
Connect-ExchangeOnline -Identity

# Target user email
$userEmail = "test@***.onmicrosoft.com" 

# --- PART 1: Azure AD + Office 365 Groups ---
$userList = Get-MgUser -Filter "mail eq '$userEmail' or userPrincipalName eq '$userEmail'"  -ConsistencyLevel eventual -All -Property Id, DisplayName, UserPrincipalName, Mail

$userObj = $userList | Select-Object -First 1

if (-not $userObj) {
    Write-Host "User $userEmail not found in Microsoft Graph. Skipping AAD removal."
} elseif (-not $userObj.Id) {
    Write-Host "User objectId missing even after lookup. Skipping AAD removal."
} else {
    Write-Host "Found user: $($userObj.DisplayName) ($($userObj.UserPrincipalName))"

    $groups = Get-MgUserMemberOf -UserId $userObj.Id -All
    $groupsAsOwner = Get-MgUserOwnedObject -UserId $userObj.Id -All


    foreach ($group in $groups) {
        if ($group.AdditionalProperties.'@odata.type' -ne '#microsoft.graph.group') {
            continue
        }

        $groupId = $group.Id
        $groupName = $group.AdditionalProperties.DisplayName

        if (-not $groupId) {
            Write-Host "Skipping group with empty ID"
            continue
        }

        $fullGroup = Get-MgGroup -GroupId $groupId

        if ($fullGroup.GroupTypes -contains "DynamicMembership") {
            Write-Host "Skipping dynamic group: ${groupName}"
            continue
        }

        # Remove as MEMBER
        try {
            Remove-MgGroupMemberByRef -GroupId $groupId -DirectoryObjectId $userObj.Id -ErrorAction Stop
            Write-Host "Removed as MEMBER from ${groupName}"
        }
        catch {
            Write-Host "Failed MEMBER removal from ${groupName}: $($_.Exception.Message)"
        }}
foreach ($group2 in $groupsAsOwner) {
$groupId2 = $group2.Id
$groupName2 = $group2.AdditionalProperties.DisplayName
        # Remove as OWNER
        try {
            Remove-MgGroupOwnerByRef -GroupId $groupId2 -DirectoryObjectId $userObj.Id -ErrorAction Stop
            Write-Host "Removed as OWNER from ${groupName2}"
        }
        catch {
            Write-Host "Failed OWNER removal from ${groupName2}: $($_.Exception.Message)"
        }
    }
    }

# --- PART 2: Exchange Distribution Groups + Mail-enabled Security Groups ---
$dlGroups = Get-DistributionGroup -ResultSize Unlimited

foreach ($dl in $dlGroups) {
    try {
        # Remove as MEMBER
        $members = Get-DistributionGroupMember -Identity $dl.Identity -ResultSize Unlimited
        $memberMatch = $members | Where-Object { $_.PrimarySmtpAddress -ieq $userEmail }

        if ($memberMatch) {
            Remove-DistributionGroupMember -Identity $dl.Identity -Member $userEmail -BypassSecurityGroupManagerCheck -Confirm:$false
            Write-Host "Removed as MEMBER from Exchange group: $($dl.DisplayName)"
        }

        # Remove as OWNER
        # $owners = (Get-DistributionGroup -Identity $dl.Identity).ManagedBy
        $owners = (Get-DistributionGroup -Identity $dl.Identity).ManagedBy | Foreach-Object { Get-Mailbox $_ }
        $ownerMatch = $owners | Where-Object { $_.PrimarySmtpAddress -ieq $userEmail }

        if ($ownerMatch) {
            Set-DistributionGroup -Identity $dl.Identity -ManagedBy @{ Remove = "$userEmail" }
            Write-Host "Removed as OWNER from Exchange group: $($dl.DisplayName)"
        }
    }
    catch {
        Write-Host "Failed Exchange removal for group: $($dl.DisplayName) - $($_.Exception.Message)"
    }
}

Write-Host "Cleanup script completed."

and we have the following inside the function.json:-


{
  "bindings": [
    {
      "name": "Timer",
      "type": "timerTrigger",
      "direction": "in",
      "schedule": "0 */5 * * * *"
    }
  ]
}

and the following inside the requirments.psd1 to load the external libraries:-

    
@{
    'ExchangeOnlineManagement' = '3.*'
    'Microsoft.Graph' = '2.*'
}

as follow:-

but when i run the script, i got those errors:-

Hello @john john Pter ,
It seems like you are encountering an error related to the term 'Disable-AzContextAutosave' not being recognized when running your script. This error indicates that the cmdlet 'Disable-AzContextAutosave' is not available or loaded in your PowerShell session.

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

Check Module Loading: Ensure that the 'ExchangeOnlineManagement' and 'Microsoft.Graph' modules are being imported correctly in your script. You can explicitly import these modules at the beginning of your script using the Import-Module cmdlet.

Check Module Versions: Verify that the versions specified in your requirements.psd1 file for 'ExchangeOnlineManagement' and 'Microsoft.Graph' are compatible with the cmdlets you are using in your script. Make sure that the versions specified are correct and compatible with the cmdlets being called.

Azure Context: The error message mentions 'Disable-AzContextAutosave', which is related to Azure PowerShell. If you are using Azure cmdlets in your script, ensure that the Azure PowerShell module is installed and imported correctly. You may need to install the Azure PowerShell module and import it before running your script.

Azure PowerShell Installation: If you haven't already, you can install the Azure PowerShell module by running the following command in a PowerShell session: Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser

Import Azure PowerShell Module: After installing the Azure PowerShell module, you can import it in your script using: Import-Module Az

By following these steps, you can ensure that the required modules are loaded correctly, and any Azure-related cmdlets are available for use in your script. If you continue to face issues, please check the compatibility of the modules and ensure that the necessary modules are installed and imported before running your script.

@Ranashekar Guda how i need to do those steps and checks? can you provide some code or scripts? also when you say i need to install power shell azure... are you saying to install those inside my azure function ?

2025-05-09T18:53:41.46+00:00

Hello @john john Pter,
To fix this, first, go into your function's code and at the very top of your run.ps1 file, add commands that specifically tell it to load these tools. This helps make sure they are definitely being requested. Next, open the requirements.psd1 file and double-check that the versions listed for those tools are correct and not too new. Sometimes being a bit less specific with the version can help.

Finally, the errors you're seeing about Disable-AzContextAutosave and Connect-AzAccount suggest your function might be trying to use Azure tools that you don't actually need for removing users from groups. Look for a file named profile.ps1 in your function's files and if you find those commands, try removing them or putting a # in front of them to turn them off. Remember that after making changes to the requirements.psd1 file, it might take a little while for the function to update and load the tools.

@Ranashekar Guda I am not sure if i am missing your reply, but i am already defining those 2 lines:-

Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement
Import-Module Microsoft.Graph

to explicitly import the modules i need? am i correct?

Also i commented our those commands as per you suggestion inside the profile.ps1:-

if ($env:MSI_SECRET) {
   # Disable-AzContextAutosave -Scope Process | Out-Null
    # Connect-AzAccount -Identity
}

also my requirments.psd1, contain those referecnes:-

@{
    'ExchangeOnlineManagement' = '3.*'
    'Microsoft.Graph' = '2.*'
}

but i still got those errors:-

Hello @john john Pter,
It seems you're still having trouble loading the required PowerShell modules in your Azure Function. Please start by confirming that both the ExchangeOnlineManagement and Microsoft.Graph modules are available by running Find-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement and Find-Module -Name Microsoft.Graph in your local PowerShell.

Check your requirements.psd1 file to ensure it includes the correct module versions, 'ExchangeOnlineManagement' = '3.' and 'Microsoft.Graph' = '2.'. In your run.ps1 file, make sure to include Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement and Import-Module Microsoft.Graph at the top to explicitly load the modules.

Also, review your profile.ps1 to ensure there are no conflicting Azure-related commands. After applying these changes, redeploy your function, keep in mind it might take a few minutes for updates to apply. If you can, test your script locally using PowerShell 7 to identify any issues before deploying. Lastly, check the function logs after redeployment for any new errors or warnings.

@Ranashekar Guda thanks for the reply. but if you read my question carefully and my latest reply, you will find that i already did all the steps you mentioned.. so not sure what is missing? but i am still getting this error:-

The specified module 'ExchangeOnlineManagement' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.

Hello @john john Pter,

Aologies for the delay,

Ensure that the version of PowerShell you are using is compatible with the 'ExchangeOnlineManagement' module. The module may not be compatible with PowerShell Core (6.x or 7.x). It is recommended to use Windows PowerShell (5.1) for this module until a compatible version is released.

Please go through below similar thread as well.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1287748/unable-to-connect-to-exchange-online-powershell-mo

Please confirm on the power shell version then we can work accordingly.

@Praveen Kumar Gudipudi Thaks for your reply. but the question is can i use power-shell version 5.0 for azure function ? as seems we do not have this version:-

i posted this question about 1 week ago.. and i did not receive a single valid solution, all the solutions suggest what i already did which did not work, or invalid replies about versions... so not sure what else we need to do , to get this fixed (if it is possible to fix this!!)..

Thanks

john john Pter,
Apologies for the inconvenience caused to you.

Currently, Azure Functions no longer supports PowerShell version 5.0 for new development.

The Azure Functions runtime has moved to PowerShell 7.

please refer Azure Functions runtime versions overview document.

@Praveen Kumar Gudipudi I think i am already following the same approach , here is the requirements.psd1:-

@``{

``# For latest supported version, go to 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Az'.

``# To use the Az module in your function app, please uncomment the line below.

``#'Az' = '12.*'

``'Microsoft.Graph' = '1.29.0'

``'Az.ManagedServiceIdentity' = '1.*'

``'ExchangeOnlineManagement' = '3.*'

``'PowerShellGet' = '2.*'

``'PackageManagement' = '1.*'

}

and i am using this command which is failing:-

# Connect to Exchange Online

Connect-ExchangeOnline -Identity

here are the final set of errors:-

ERROR: The term 'Connect-ExchangeOnline' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.

Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again

@Ranashekar Guda how i need to do those steps and checks? can you provide some code or scripts? also when you say i need to install power shell azure... are you saying to install those inside my azure function ?

Hello @john john Pter,
To fix this, first, go into your function's code and at the very top of your run.ps1 file, add commands that specifically tell it to load these tools. This helps make sure they are definitely being requested. Next, open the requirements.psd1 file and double-check that the versions listed for those tools are correct and not too new. Sometimes being a bit less specific with the version can help.

Finally, the errors you're seeing about Disable-AzContextAutosave and Connect-AzAccount suggest your function might be trying to use Azure tools that you don't actually need for removing users from groups. Look for a file named profile.ps1 in your function's files and if you find those commands, try removing them or putting a # in front of them to turn them off. Remember that after making changes to the requirements.psd1 file, it might take a little while for the function to update and load the tools.

Hello @john john Pter,
It seems you're still having trouble loading the required PowerShell modules in your Azure Function. Please start by confirming that both the ExchangeOnlineManagement and Microsoft.Graph modules are available by running Find-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement and Find-Module -Name Microsoft.Graph in your local PowerShell.

Check your requirements.psd1 file to ensure it includes the correct module versions, 'ExchangeOnlineManagement' = '3.' and 'Microsoft.Graph' = '2.'. In your run.ps1 file, make sure to include Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement and Import-Module Microsoft.Graph at the top to explicitly load the modules.

Also, review your profile.ps1 to ensure there are no conflicting Azure-related commands. After applying these changes, redeploy your function, keep in mind it might take a few minutes for updates to apply. If you can, test your script locally using PowerShell 7 to identify any issues before deploying. Lastly, check the function logs after redeployment for any new errors or warnings.

@Ranashekar Guda thanks for the reply. but if you read my question carefully and my latest reply, you will find that i already did all the steps you mentioned.. so not sure what is missing? but i am still getting this error:-

The specified module 'ExchangeOnlineManagement' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.

Hello @john john Pter,

Aologies for the delay,

Ensure that the version of PowerShell you are using is compatible with the 'ExchangeOnlineManagement' module. The module may not be compatible with PowerShell Core (6.x or 7.x). It is recommended to use Windows PowerShell (5.1) for this module until a compatible version is released.

Please go through below similar thread as well.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1287748/unable-to-connect-to-exchange-online-powershell-mo

Please confirm on the power shell version then we can work accordingly.

@Praveen Kumar Gudipudi Thaks for your reply. but the question is can i use power-shell version 5.0 for azure function ? as seems we do not have this version:-

i posted this question about 1 week ago.. and i did not receive a single valid solution, all the solutions suggest what i already did which did not work, or invalid replies about versions... so not sure what else we need to do , to get this fixed (if it is possible to fix this!!)..

Thanks

john john Pter,
Apologies for the inconvenience caused to you.

Currently, Azure Functions no longer supports PowerShell version 5.0 for new development.

The Azure Functions runtime has moved to PowerShell 7.

please refer Azure Functions runtime versions overview document.

@Praveen Kumar Gudipudi I think i am already following the same approach , here is the requirements.psd1:-

@``{

``# For latest supported version, go to 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Az'.

``# To use the Az module in your function app, please uncomment the line below.

``#'Az' = '12.*'

``'Microsoft.Graph' = '1.29.0'

``'Az.ManagedServiceIdentity' = '1.*'

``'ExchangeOnlineManagement' = '3.*'

``'PowerShellGet' = '2.*'

``'PackageManagement' = '1.*'

}

and i am using this command which is failing:-

# Connect to Exchange Online

Connect-ExchangeOnline -Identity

here are the final set of errors:-

ERROR: The term 'Connect-ExchangeOnline' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.

Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again

Answer 1

Hi john john Pter,

The specified module 'ExchangeOnlineManagement' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.

The error shows that Azure Functions is not loading the required modules ExchangeOnlineManagement, Microsoft.Graph , despite adding them in requirements.psd1.

Follow below steps to resolve the Module errors:

Create a folder inside the function project and save the required modules in that folder and deploy the function to Azure.

Open Terminal, navigate to the root directory of the project and run below commands:


mkdir Modules //Creating Modules folder in the root directory of the function project

cd Modules //cd to Modules folder to save the installed modules

Save-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement -Path Modules

Save-Module -Name Microsoft.Graph -Path Modules

This creates a folder named modules and saves the installed modules in that folder.

Add Modules folder in .gitignore.

Remove Import-Module statements in run.ps1.
Comment everything in Profile.ps1 or remove below lines from Profile.ps1 :


Disable-AzContextAutosave -Scope Process | Out-Null

Connect-AzAccount -Identity

Connect-ExchangeOnline doesn't support -Identity parameter, use the below command instead:


Connect-ExchangeOnline -ManagedIdentity -Organization <yourdomain>.onmicrosoft.com

Use below modified code:


param($Timer)

# Connect to Microsoft Graph with required delegated scopes

 Write-Host "Start"

Connect-MgGraph -Identity

 Write-Host "Connected to Graph"

# Connect to Exchange Online

Connect-ExchangeOnline -ManagedIdentity -Organization <yourdomain>.onmicrosoft.com

Write-Host "Connected to Graph"

# Target user email

$userEmail = "usermail" 

# --- PART 1: Azure AD + Office 365 Groups ---

$userList = Get-MgUser -Filter "mail eq '$userEmail' or userPrincipalName eq '$userEmail'"  -ConsistencyLevel eventual -All -Property Id, DisplayName, UserPrincipalName, Mail

$userObj = $userList | Select-Object -First 1

if (-not $userObj) {

    Write-Host "User $userEmail not found in Microsoft Graph. Skipping AAD removal."

} elseif (-not $userObj.Id) {

    Write-Host "User objectId missing even after lookup. Skipping AAD removal."

} else {

    Write-Host "Found user: $($userObj.DisplayName) ($($userObj.UserPrincipalName))"

    $groups = Get-MgUserMemberOf -UserId $userObj.Id -All

    $groupsAsOwner = Get-MgUserOwnedObject -UserId $userObj.Id -All

    foreach ($group in $groups) {

        if ($group.AdditionalProperties.'@odata.type' -ne '#microsoft.graph.group') {

            continue

        }

        $groupId = $group.Id

        $groupName = $group.AdditionalProperties.DisplayName

        if (-not $groupId) {

            Write-Host "Skipping group with empty ID"

            continue

        }

        $fullGroup = Get-MgGroup -GroupId $groupId

        if ($fullGroup.GroupTypes -contains "DynamicMembership") {

            Write-Host "Skipping dynamic group: ${groupName}"

            continue

        }

        # Remove as MEMBER

        try {

            Remove-MgGroupMemberByRef -GroupId $groupId -DirectoryObjectId $userObj.Id -ErrorAction Stop

            Write-Host "Removed as MEMBER from ${groupName}"

        }

        catch {

            Write-Host "Removed as OWNER from ${groupName2}"

        }

        catch {

            Write-Host "Failed OWNER removal from ${groupName2}: $($_.Exception.Message)"

        }

    }

    }

# --- PART 2: Exchange Distribution Groups + Mail-enabled Security Groups ---

$dlGroups = Get-DistributionGroup -ResultSize Unlimited

        $ownerMatch = $owners | Where-Object { $_.PrimarySmtpAddress -ieq $userEmail }

        if ($ownerMatch) {

            Set-DistributionGroup -Identity $dl.Identity -ManagedBy @{ Remove = "$userEmail" }

            Write-Host "Removed as OWNER from Exchange group: $($dl.DisplayName)"

        }

    }

    catch {

        Write-Host "Failed Exchange removal for group: $($dl.DisplayName) - $($_.Exception.Message)"

    }

}

Write-Host "Cleanup script completed."

requirements.ps1:


@{

    'Az'  =  '13.*'

    'ExchangeOnlineManagement'  =  '3.*'

    'Microsoft.Graph'  =  '2.*'

}

Deploy the function to Azure (Build the function before deploying):


PS func azure functionapp publish kpsfn

Getting site publishing info...

You should be able to see the Modules folder(contains the installed modules) in KUDU site https://functionappname.scm.azurewebsites.net/DebugConsole=>site/wwwroot.

I have deployed the code to Azure function App with consumption plan (Powershell 7.4).

Please wait for a few minutes (min 5 minutes) while the function imports the required modules from PowerShell Gallery or the deployed Modules folder.

Able to run the commands successfully:

If the function App still doesn't recognize the commands, check if you have the Modules folder under Site/wwwroot in Kudu site of your function app. If yes, import the module using the full path.

Code Snippet:


# Specify the full path to the module

$modulePath = $env:HOME\site\wwwroot\<YourFunctionAppName>\modules\Microsoft.Graph\<ModuleVersion>

# Import the module

Import-Module $modulePath

# Use Connect-MgGraph

Connect-MgGraph

To connect to Exchange Online, you need to assign Administrative Role to the Managed Identity and grant Admin Consent to the Service Principal.
