Get Tenant Id with new Azure Powershell commands (Az)

In the Azure Active Directory Powershell module (AzureAD) you could use

$conn = Connect-AzureAd

and then get the Azure tenant ID using

$conn.tenantId

Straightforward enough.

With the new Azure Powershell module (Az) you can also capture the connection response

$conn = Connect-AzAccount

But there's no TenantId property. How do you get the TenantId ? Get-AzTenant brings back all potential tenants, and no flag for which one the current Azure connection is pointing to.

For what I've found you can use the "onmicrosoft" domain name of the tenant as a replacement for the tenantId in almost all case where you need the tenantId – bluuf

The new Azure Powershell has shifted this information from top-level connection info to a more hierarchical representation using custom object types.

The PSAzureProfile type instance returned by Connect-AzAccount has a property called Context which is a PSAzureContext type. This object in turn has a Tenant property which is a PSAzureTenant type.

And there in that object is an Id property which has our currently selected Azure tenant ID for the current session.

Sample code:

$conn = Connect-AzAccount
$tenantId = $conn.Context.Tenant.Id

Hopefully documentation will improve on all of these types and how they're structured.
