Get AzureAD Guest accounts and remove them

Cleanup Time

It’s good to know what guest users accounts are invited to your tenant. I can either check that through Users blade in AzureAD Portal or using PowerShell:

Connect-AzureAD
Get-AzureADUser -Filter "userType eq 'Guest'" -All $true 

If there are some accounts, it’s best to verify with the business whether they are still required. Most Project Managers are not goot at PowerShell, but they’re quite profficient with excel. I’ll export all necessary data to a csv file with additional columnt ToDelete:

$SelectFilter = @(
    'DisplayName',
    'UserPrincipalName',
    'Mail',
    @{
        name='ToDelete'
        expression={''}            
    }
    'Department',
    'UserType',
    'CreationType',
    'RefreshTokensValidFromDateTime',
    'AccountEnabled',
    @{
        name='Licensed'
        expression={
            if($_.AssignedLicenses){$TRUE}
            else{$False}
        }
    }
    @{
        name='Plan'
        expression={
            if($_.AssignedPlans){$TRUE}
            else{$False}
        }
    }
    'ObjectId' 
)
Get-AzureADUser -Filter "userType eq 'Guest'" -All $true |
    Select-Object $SelectFilter | 
    Export-csv -Path "C:\AdminTools\AzureADGuestUsers_$(Get-Date -f yyyyMMdd_HHmm).csv" -NoTypeInformation

Once they fill in which accounts should be deleted this will do the trick.

As I don’t trust know, what character they will use in the ToDelete column, I prefer to use Out-GridView to select only required rows :grin:

Then I can process with extermination cleaning up :smile: :

Connect-AzureAD
$ToDeleteGuestUsers = Import-Csv -Path C:\AdminTools\AzureADGuestUsers_20190207_0844.csv | Out-GridView -passThru

$ToDeleteGuestUsers | foreach {
    Get-AzureADObjectByObjectId -ObjectIds $_.ObjectID
    Remove-AzureADUser -ObjectId $_.ObjectID -Verbose    
}
