Hi guys. Today I’ll only have a short blog – I’ve been busy this weekend with non-tech stuff like building a table for dungeons and dragons, which is why I’ve only had time to write a somewhat shorter blog than normally.

This one is based on a blog from last week – Some users on Reddit asked if I could also create a monitoring set for blocked users. We’ve setup policies to make sure users are blocked after multiple failed logins, or when failing the second factor authentication a couple of times. Its best to monitor this to preventively to make sure you can give the users a call and check if everything is functioning as it should.

The following script helps you in this.

##############################
$ApplicationId = 'XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXX-XXX'
$ApplicationSecret = 'YourApplicationSecret' | Convertto-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
$TenantID = 'YourTenantID.Onmicrosoft.com'
$RefreshToken = 'VeryLongRefreshToken'
##############################
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($ApplicationId, $ApplicationSecret)
$aadGraphToken = New-PartnerAccessToken -ApplicationId $ApplicationId -Credential $credential -RefreshToken $refreshToken -Scopes 'https://graph.windows.net/.default' -ServicePrincipal -Tenant $tenantID 
$graphToken = New-PartnerAccessToken -ApplicationId $ApplicationId -Credential $credential -RefreshToken $refreshToken -Scopes 'https://graph.microsoft.com/.default' -ServicePrincipal -Tenant $tenantID 
Connect-MsolService -AdGraphAccessToken $aadGraphToken.AccessToken -MsGraphAccessToken $graphToken.AccessToken
$customers = Get-MsolPartnerContract -All

$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($ApplicationId, $ApplicationSecret)
$aadGraphToken = New-PartnerAccessToken -ApplicationId $ApplicationId -Credential $credential -RefreshToken $refreshToken -Scopes 'https://graph.windows.net/.default' -ServicePrincipal -Tenant $tenantID 
$graphToken = New-PartnerAccessToken -ApplicationId $ApplicationId -Credential $credential -RefreshToken $refreshToken -Scopes 'https://graph.microsoft.com/.default' -ServicePrincipal -Tenant $tenantID 
Connect-MsolService -AdGraphAccessToken $aadGraphToken.AccessToken -MsGraphAccessToken $graphToken.AccessToken
$customers = Get-MsolPartnerContract -All
$BlockedUserlist = foreach ($customer in $customers) {
    write-host "Getting Blocked users for $($Customer.name)" -ForegroundColor Green
    $BlockedUsers = Get-MsolUser -TenantId $($customer.TenantID) | Where-Object {$_.BlockCredential -eq $true}
    foreach($User in $BlockedUsers){ "$($user.UserPrincipalName) is blocked from logon." }
}
if(!$BlockedUserlist) {  $BlockedUserlist = "Healthy" } 

And that’s it! as always, Happy PowerShelling.
