Connect-AzAccount

Generate Password Profile

$PasswordProfile = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.Open.AzureAD.Model.PasswordProfile
$PasswordProfile.Password = "IT0psT@lk"

New ADUser Parameters

$params = @{
AccountEnabled = $true
DisplayName = "Test User"
PasswordProfile = $PasswordProfile
UserPrincipalName = "******@onmicrosoft.com"
MailNickName = "TestUser"
}

New-AzADUser @params

and getting this error after running the command

New-AzADUser : Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'PasswordProfile'. Cannot convert the "class PasswordProfile {

" value of type "Microsoft.Open.AzureAD.Model.PasswordProfile" to type

At C:\Users\Vert\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Scripts\Create New User.ps1:16 char:14

• New-AzADUser @params
• ~~~~~~~
• CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (:) [New-AzADUser], ParameterBindingArgumentTransformationException

Hope you could help me figure this out. Thank you

Hello @Gilbert Justin Hernandez , the error is caused by passing an argument of type Microsoft.Open.AzureAD.Model.PasswordProfile. You need to pass one of type IMicrosoftGraphPasswordProfile. Try doing so as a hashtable:

   $params = @{  
   AccountEnabled = $true  
   DisplayName = "Test User"  
   PasswordProfile = @{  
       Password = "string"  
   }  
   UserPrincipalName = "******@onmicrosoft.com"  
   MailNickName = "TestUser"  
   }
