I need your help to update the user's birthday and emplyeeHireDate in azure ad using microsoft graph by powershell.
I read the articles:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-update?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=powershell
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.resources/update-azaduser?view=azps-7.5.0
But I didn't quite understand how to do it.
I used this code:
Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.Users
$params = @{
Birthday = "1980-09-22"
}
Update-MgUser -UserId $userId -BodyParameter $params
Hi @EduardoGentaMatias-0078 ,
You try using the below power shell SDK code to update Birthday or "employeeHireDate".
Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.Users
$params = @{
Birthday = [System.DateTime]::Parse("1982-12-26")
}
Update-MgUser -UserId $userId -BodyParameter $params
Note : Please replace "BirthDay" with "EmployeeHireDate" in the above powershell SDK code to update emplyeeHireDate user property as well.
Example :
Successful update response in Graph Explorer
Get "BirthDay" with "EmployeeHireDate" user properties data after the update :
Hope this helps.

Execute same commands, but received
Not Found - 404 - 222ms
and use Get-MgUser -UserId egmatias@xxx.yyyanini.com | fl
no
Hi @EduardoGentaMatias ,
Thanks for your response. Not Found - 404 error because the signed user account is from differnt tenant and hence the user seems not identified or not found . Please try to login to graph explorer app from the same tenant using admin account who have permissions to update user properties in the same tenant. Example : as per the screenshot you are shared, you are trying to update user : egmatias@latam.stefanini.com and hence plese try login from tenant with admin account (i.e., example: user@latam.stefanini.com ).
Hope this helps.

the same error:
Hi @EduardoGentaMatias ,
Thanks for your response. I belive that you may be using incorrect userPrinicipalName(UPN) in the API and hence you might be getting 404 - not found error. To know userPrinicipalName(UPN), you can use /me end point to get self user profile and /users end point for all users in your M365 tenant.
You can use /me endpoint to know your userPrinicipalName(UPN) and user ID as shown :
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me
To know userPrinicipalName(UPN), you can use /users end point in your M365 tenant.
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users
Once you identified userPrinicipalName(UPN) , you can use below end points to update the required user properties as explained in above answers. and please make sure to consent required permissions under "Modify permissions" sections in Graph Explorer app and also note that you should have required admin permissions to update other user's properties.
PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me
PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{userPrinicipalName} or {User-ID}
Hope this helps.

Hi @EduardoGentaMatias ,
I have also try replicating it at my end. As you can see below, we typically get this error if user not found in our M365 tenant. As you can see in the below example , jvedham1@O365XXXX.onmicrosoft.com does not exit or belongs to my M365 tenant and hence I am getting this 404 - not found error.
Example:
I would advise you to the below steps :
You can use /me endpoint to know your userPrinicipalName(UPN) and user ID as shown below and Make sure to consent required permissions under "Modify permissions" sections in Graph Explorer app.
2.Once you know the UPN from the above step, you can simply execute to update "Birthday" or "employeeHireDate" of your own user profile using /me endpoint. Change the HTTP method to "PATCH" as shown below. Make sure to consent required permissions under "Modify permissions" sections in Graph Explorer app.
PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me
3.You can get all the users of your M365 tenant using the below endpoint and know the userPrinicipalName(UPN) or user IDs of your tenant users. Make sure to consent required permissions under "Modify permissions" sections in Graph Explorer app.
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users
4.If you are admin user with required permissions in your tenant then you should be able to update other user properties using the below end point. Make sure to consent required permissions under "Modify permissions" sections in Graph Explorer app.
PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{userPrinicipalName} or {User-ID}
Example :
PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/jvedham@0365XXXX.onmicrosoft.com (OR)
PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/4abcd677-051a-4c61-8e09-3a05c12345a8
Note: You can always check the API reponse or any corresponding error message in "Response peview" section (as shown below) :
