Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Graph -Scope CurrentUser\r\nImport-Module Microsoft.Graph<\/pre>\n2. Now move to authenticate the Graph through the below command<\/p>\n
Connect-MgGraph<\/pre>\n3. Let\u2019s Create a user and password using below command<\/p>\n
New-MgUser -DisplayName "James Parkar" ` -UserPrincipalName "james@office365solutions.com" ` -MailNickName "james" ` -GivenName "james" ` -Surname "parkar" ` -UsageLocation "IN" ` -PasswordProfile @{ Password = "Password@123"; ForceChangePasswordNextSignIn = $true } ` -AccountEnabled<\/pre>\nNote: In the above command, if you do not provide the password for the user, then the computer autogenerate the password to the user.
