The Collective Insights
Time is up! Identify MSOL and AzureAD usage in your organization.
In previous change announcements and prior blog updates, Microsoft announced MSOnline and Microsoft AzureAD PowerShell modules are deprecated since March 30 2024. Recently, Microsoft announced the retirement for MSOnline PowerShell starting early April 2025 and ending in late May 2025. Because of this, organizations need to make sure they migrate to Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK or Microsoft Entra PowerShell, since MSOL commands will stop working very soon.
To allow organizations some time to finish the MSOnline PowerShell migration first, AzureAD PowerShell will no longer be supported after March 30 2025 but will continue to work until at least July 1 2025. To ensure customer readiness for MSOnline PowerShell retirement, a series of temporary outage tests will occur for all tenants between January and March 2025.
