**How to find your Azure AD tenant name?**
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is a cloud-based identity and access management service offered by Microsoft. When working with Azure AD, it’s crucial to know your tenant name, as it helps keep your Azure resources and user identities organized. But how exactly can you find your Azure AD tenant name? Let’s explore some methods to help you discover this essential information.
1. What is Azure AD tenant name?
Azure AD tenant name refers to the unique domain name associated with your Azure AD instance. It typically has the format “yourdomain.onmicrosoft.com,” where “yourdomain” reflects the name you chose when setting up your Azure AD.
2. Finding your Azure AD tenant name using the Azure portal
1. Log in to the Azure portal (portal.azure.com) using your Azure AD administrator account.
2. In the left-hand menu, select “Azure Active Directory.”
3. Click on “Overview” to access your Azure AD overview page.
4. On the “Overview” page, look for the “Name” property. This value represents your Azure AD tenant name.
3. Discovering your tenant name through Azure PowerShell
If you prefer using PowerShell, you can follow these steps to retrieve your Azure AD tenant name:
1. Open Azure PowerShell and connect to your Azure account using `Connect-AzureRmAccount`.
2. Once connected, run the `Get-AzureRMTenant` command.
3. Locate the “Name” property in the result, which represents your Azure AD tenant name.
4. Retrieving tenant name through Azure CLI
Azure CLI provides another command-line option to find your Azure AD tenant name:
1. Open Azure CLI or Azure Cloud Shell.
2. Run the command `az login` to authenticate with your Azure account.
3. Execute the `az account show` command.
4. Look for the “tenantId” property in the output, which corresponds to your Azure AD tenant name.
5. Accessing tenant name using Microsoft 365 admin center
To find your Azure AD tenant name through the Microsoft 365 admin center:
1. Open the Microsoft 365 admin center (admin.microsoft.com).
2. Navigate to the “Settings” section.
3. Click on “Organizational profile.”
4. Under “Organization information,” you’ll find your Azure AD tenant name.
6. Identifying tenant name programmatically
Through code, you can retrieve your Azure AD tenant name using the Microsoft Graph API. An example using C# with the Microsoft Graph SDK is:
“`csharp
GraphServiceClient graphClient = new GraphServiceClient(authProvider);
var tenant = await graphClient.Organization.Request().GetAsync();
string tenantName = tenant[0].DisplayName;
“`
7. Can the tenant name be changed?
No, once you create your Azure AD tenant, the tenant name cannot be modified.
