Examples

Output is provided by Microsoft.Online.Administration.ServicePrincipal. The output provided will retrieve a service principal or a list of service principals from . Each service principal contains the following information:

  • ObjectId - The unique identifier of the service principal

  • AppPrincipalId - The application identifier of the service principal

  • DisplayName - The friendly name of the service principal

  • ServicePrincipalName - The list of service principal names (SPNs) associated with the service principal

  • AccountEnabled - The value indicating if the account is enabled

Example 1

The following command will list all of the existing service principals in the organization's tenant.

Get-MsolServicePrincipal

Example 2

This command lists all of the existing service principals that have a ServicePrincipalName that start with "MyApp". Note: This is an exact match of the appClass portion of the ServicePrincipalName up to the forward slash. In many cases this is equivalent to the DisplayName.

Get-MsolServicePrincipal -ServicePrincipalName "Microsoft.Azure.ActiveDirectoryUX"

Example 3

This command gets a service principal with a specific AppPrincipalId. In this example, the value of "00000012-0000-0000-c000-000000000000" returns a service principal with display name "Microsoft.Azure.RMS".

Get-MsolServicePrincipal -AppPrincipalId 00000012-0000-0000-c000-000000000000
