When working with Azure, knowing your Tenant ID is crucial for effectively managing your resources. Traditionally, Azure Active Directory Powershell modules made it easy to fetch this information. However, with the introduction of the new Azure Powershell module, Az, users may find it a bit challenging to retrieve their Tenant ID.

In this guide, we will explore not only how to get your Azure Tenant ID using the Az module but also the changes and improvements that come with it.

Step 2: Access the Context Property

The returned connection object isn't flat anymore; it’s more hierarchical. The essential property you need is found within the Context property of the connection object. This is how to navigate through:

The connection object contains a property called Context.

The Context holds a Tenant property.

The Tenant property is of type PSAzureTenant, which has an Id property where the Tenant ID is stored.

Step 3: Retrieve the Tenant ID

Putting it all together, here’s how you can fetch the Tenant ID:

Utilizing these commands will not only enhance your Azure management capabilities but also streamline your resource management processes. Happy coding!
