Summary

Completed

In this module, you learned about the Azure PowerShell environment and the Az module for Windows PowerShell. Also, you learned about ways to manage Microsoft Entra ID by using PowerShell modules. The following are the key takeaways:

• Azure PowerShell is a module that you add to Windows PowerShell or PowerShell Core to let you connect to your Azure subscription and manage resources. It provides a set of cmdlets that you can use to manage and administer Azure resources directly from the PowerShell command line.

• The Az PowerShell module is a set of cmdlets for managing Azure resources directly from PowerShell.

• The Azure Az PowerShell module is a rollup module. Installing it downloads the available Az PowerShell modules and makes their cmdlets available for use. The Azure Az PowerShell module works with PowerShell 7.x and newer versions on all platforms.

• The Microsoft Graph module for Windows PowerShell provides cmdlets that you can use for Microsoft Entra ID administrative tasks such as user management, domain management, and configuring single sign-on.
