How to use Graph Explorer to confirm if an account is disabled in Azure AD

Scenario

You are using Exclaimer Cloud and want to check if a user account is disabled in Azure AD. 

Resolution

Follow the steps below to use the Graph Explorer tool to verify if an account is disabled in Azure AD:

1. Browse to the Azure AD Graph Explorer (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/graph-explorer)
   
   
2. Click Login and sign in with your Office 365 Global Administrator account.
   
   
3. If prompted, accept the permissions request:
   
   
   
   
4. In the query box, enter the following:
   
   https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/users/<UPN of user required>?$select=displayname,accountenabled

5. Click Run Query. 

   The results page displays an output similar to this:

   {
   "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/$metadata#users(displayName,accountEnabled)/$entity",
   "displayName": "David Milward",
   "accountEnabled": true
   }

   
   If the accountEnabled value is returned as false, then the Exclaimer Cloud service will not aggregate the user to the database.
