Service Principal login with domain name results in 'Invalid GUID' errors for subsequent cmdlets

[markcowl]

Here is an example:

PS C:\Users\markcowl> Connect-AzureRmAccount -TenantId mydomainname.onmschina.cn -Environment AzureChinaCloud -Credential $cred -ServicePrincipal


Account          : xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
SubscriptionName : Azure SDK Mooncake Powershell Test
SubscriptionId   : yyyyyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyyyyyyy
TenantId         : mydomainname.onmschina.cn
Environment      : AzureChinaCloud


PS C:\Users\markcowl> Select-AzureRmSubscription -Subscription yyyyyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyyyyyyy
Select-AzureRmSubscription : Guid should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx).
At line:1 char:1
+ Select-AzureRmSubscription -Subscription 5c9daa8a-5529-41e1-81c6-549a ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : CloseError: (:) [Set-AzureRmContext], FormatException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Profile.SetAzureRMContextCommand

PS C:\Users\markcowl>

This occurs because the cmdlet is trying to retrive a tenant id from the domain name when constructing a tenant object:

PS C:\Users\markcowl> Resolve-AzureRmError -Last


   HistoryId: 15

The proper thing in this case is to perform the extra hop to extract the tenant id, and ensure this is saved in the tenant id property in the context.

This has been fixed and will be available in version 6.7.0 of AzureRM
