PS Script to Import users from Azure SQL Table to AAD - sql

Question

I need help with a baseline script (if possible at all) to extract users from Azure SQL to Azure AD with the fields in the SQL tables. Is there such a way to get this into AAD, not On Premise AD? The fields are phone, department..etc However does such a way even exist? I know for On Premise yes, but I cannot seem to locate anything for Azure.
Thank you all in Advance!

Answer 1

to extract users from Azure SQL to Azure AD with the fields in the SQL tables
Achieving this you have to follow the below steps.
Get the user table data from the SQL table
Export the user data into csv file.
create the users in Azure AD using the csv file.
You can use the below script to export Azure SQL Table data. Then exported data can be saved in a csv file.
Import-Module sqlps
$SQLServer = "<Your Azure SQL server>"
$DatabaseName = "<Database Name>"
$ExportLocation = "<Path to Export>"
$ResourceGroupName ="<Your resource group name>"
#Select Database
Get-AzureRmSqlDatabase -ServerName $SQLServer -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName | select $DatabaseName
# Get Server Instance
$ServerInstance = Get-AzureRmSqlServer -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName | where {$_.ServerName -eq $SQLServer}
$params = #{
'Database' = $DatabaseName
'ServerInstance' = $ServerInstance
'Username' = '<userName>'
'Password' = '<Password>'
'Query' = 'SELECT * FROM UsersTable'
}
$userResult = Invoke-Sqlcmd #params
$result |export-csv "$ExportLocation$userinfo.csv" -notypeinformation
Fetching all information from table
# Get user information from table
$Tables = (Get-SqlDatabase -ServerInstance $ServerInstance -Name $DatabaseName).tables
foreach($table in $Tables) {
$SQLquery="select * from $($table)"
$result=invoke-sqlcmd -query $SQLquery -serverinstance $SQLServer -database $DatabaseName
Write-Host "Now Exporting Table $table"
$result |export-csv "$ExportLocation$($table.Name).csv" -notypeinformation
}
Or in an Azure portal -> Azure SQL Database -> Query Editor also you can export the csv file.
After exported the CSV file import the user information into Azure AD.
