Microsoft First Party App Names

💡 Overview

Looking up the names of Microsoft first party applications can be quite tricky. Microsoft publishes a static list of the common app names in the Verify first-party Microsoft applications in sign-in reports doc.

There are a few problems with this.

• It is in markdown and is not easily consumable by scripts and KQL queries that need to perform lookups.
• It does not list all of the Microsoft apps that can be found through Microsoft Graph API.
