Get-AzADUser -Mail option does not work, is there another way to do it. Same issue by using AAD client directly when filter set to mail

From additional debugging, filter applied is UPN, should be mail.

I tried using AAD client directly by setting filter in it to mail, still same issue.

Also, type is always null, I thought it will be guest

Get-AzADUser -Mail "mireks.pm@xxxxxx.com" -Debug
DEBUG: 4:46:20 PM - GetAzureADUserCommand begin processing with ParameterSet 'MailParameterSet'.

}

When I give my full UPN it works.

Get-AzADUser -Mail "mireks.pm_xxxxxx.com#EXT#@xxxxxxx.onmicrosoft.com"
UserPrincipalName : mireks.pm_xxxxxxx.com#EXT#@xxxxx.onmicrosoft.com

-mail parameter equals to user principal name in AAD. Current logic in Azure PowerShell is to search user by UPN or Display name via AAD rest API.

Type should be guest, member, or others. We will fix it soon.

Thanks @dingmeng-xue for confirming for Type property.

For -mail switch, according to MS Graph User object documentation UPN and mail are different properties. Get-AzADUser powershell also have two different switch UserPrincipalName & Mail separately for user properties UPN and mail accordingly.

Azure PowerShell is still using Azure AD lib. I didn't investigate further. I guess MS Graph is a little different.

Thanks for the feedback! We are routing this to the appropriate team for follow-up. cc @adamedx.
