I am following this link to connect to Microsoft Teams using Access Tokens:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/teams-powershell-application-authentication
Here is the code:
$ClientSecret = 'xxxxx~xx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
$ApplicationID = 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'
$TenantID = 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'
$graphtokenBody = @{
Grant_Type = "client_credentials"
Scope = "https://graph.microsoft.com/.default"
Client_Id = $ApplicationID
Client_Secret = $ClientSecret
}
$graphToken = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://login.microsoftonline.com/$TenantID/oauth2/v2.0/token" -Method POST -Body $graphtokenBody | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Access_Token
$teamstokenBody = @{
Grant_Type = "client_credentials"
Scope = "48ac35b8-9aa8-4d74-927d-1f4a14a0b239/.default"
Client_Id = $ApplicationID
Client_Secret = $ClientSecret
}
$teamsToken = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://login.microsoftonline.com/$TenantID/oauth2/v2.0/token" -Method POST -Body $teamstokenBody | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Access_Token
Connect-MicrosoftTeams -AccessTokens @("$graphToken", "$teamsToken")
The application is registered in Azure AD and has been assigned the API permissions as mentioned in the article. I have assigned Teams administrator role to the application as well. Tokens get populated correctly.
Running the code produces the following error:
Connect-MicrosoftTeams : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

If someone had this issue and have successfully resolved it or have some tips on how to resolve it, please help.
CodePudding user response：
I tried to reproduce the same in my environment and got the same error as below:
The error usually occurs if the version of Microsoft teams you are trying to connect is older than 4.7.1-preview version.
To resolve the error, try updating the Microsoft teams PowerShell version to 4.7.1-preview or later and this type of authentication is supported only in commercial environments.
Get-InstalledModule -Name MicrosoftTeams
Update-Module -Name MicrosoftTeams
After updating the PowerShell Module, I am able to connect to Microsoft Teams successfully like below:
$ClientSecret = "ClientSecret"
$ApplicationID = "AppID"
$TenantID = "TenantID"
$graphtokenBody = @{
Grant_Type = "client_credentials"
Scope = "https://graph.microsoft.com/.default"
Client_Id = $ApplicationID
Client_Secret = $ClientSecret
}
$graphToken = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://login.microsoftonline.com/$TenantID/oauth2/v2.0/token" -Method POST -Body $graphtokenBody | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Access_Token
$teamstokenBody = @{
Grant_Type = "client_credentials"
Scope = "48ac35b8-9aa8-4d74-927d-1f4a14a0b239/.default"
Client_Id = $ApplicationID
Client_Secret = $ClientSecret
}
$teamsToken = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://login.microsoftonline.com/$TenantID/oauth2/v2.0/token" -Method POST -Body $teamstokenBody | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Access_Token
Connect-MicrosoftTeams -AccessTokens @("$graphToken", "$teamsToken")
