When to migrate aad graph to microsoft graph api?


Asked by Kingsley McGuire on Dec 07, 2021 FAQ



For existing apps calling the AAD Graph 0.5-0.9 versions you have until July 1, 2019 to migrate your app to Microsoft Graph API as these versions will be deprecated. NOTE: As we start removing support for non-GA versions of Azure AD Graph (versions 0.5-0.9) we will deprecate additional GA versions in the future.
Moreover,
Last year, we announced end of support plans for Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Graph API in favor of Microsoft Graph. Microsoft Graph offers a single endpoint to access Microsoft 365 data. The Microsoft Graph includes all the previous Azure AD APIs and APIs from several other Microsoft services like Teams, Exchange, Intune, and more.
Besides, Going forward, the Microsoft Graph API (graph.microsoft.com) is the supported way to gain access to Azure Active Directory programmatically. What will happen? Let’s look at the timeline shared by Microsoft: For the next two years, applications and tools communicating to the Azure Active Directory Graph API will continue to work.
In addition,
Starting, June 30th, 2020, we will no longer add any new features to ADAL and Azure AD Graph. We will continue to provide technical support and security updates but will no longer provide feature updates.
In this manner,
Their stated roadmap is to migrate to the Microsoft Graph SDK, there will not be an equivalent "AzureAD" module that will be rewritten to use MS Graph SDK Some commandlets in Az are expected to be the "friendly" cmdlets, however today as far as I can tell these still use the legacy AzureAD Graph API, will these be updated to use MS Graph SDK?
