Azure AD PowerShell module was earlier installed by a standard .msi package. Now you can install it using one PowerShell command. However, installation requires PowerShell 5 or newer.

Before you begin

Module installation requires PowerShell 5 or later which is included in Windows 10 & Server 2016. If you have previous version of Windows, you need to install Windows Management Framework 5.1 here.

Installing the Azure AD PowerShell module

To install the latest Azure AD PowerShell module, enter the following commands as an administrator.

Azure AD PowerShell v1 (MsOnline)

# Install the MsOnline module

Install-Module MSOnline

If you haven’t used the Install-Module command earlier, you might not have NuGet provider. Just click the Yes to continue.

You might also get the following error message stating that PSGallery is untrusted. This is okay so you may safely click the yes button.
