New-Object : Cannot find type [Microsoft.Open.AzureAD.Model.DomainFederationSettings]: verify that the assembly

I am following documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/b2b/direct-federation on Powershell and running below command:

Import-Module AzureAD
Connect-AzureAD
$federationSettings = New-Object Microsoft.Open.AzureAD.Model.DomainFederationSettings

I am getting following error:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> $federationSettings = New-Object Microsoft.Open.AzureAD.Model.DomainFederationSettings


New-Object : Cannot find type [Microsoft.Open.AzureAD.Model.DomainFederationSettings]: verify that the assembly 
containing this type is loaded.
At line:1 char:23
+ ... nSettings = New-Object Microsoft.Open.AzureAD.Model.DomainFederationS ...
+                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidType: (:) [New-Object], PSArgumentException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : TypeNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewObjectCommand

DomainFederationSettings class seems to be missing

How can I have Microsoft.Open.AzureAD.Model.DomainFederationSettings loaded and execute command $federationSettings = New-Object Microsoft.Open.AzureAD.Model.DomainFederationSettings

at the time of writing this answer, you need to use AzureADPreview module and not AzureAd

I highly suspect you are trying this statement with the latter rather than the former.

To install

Install-Module -Name AzureADPreview -AllowClobber

(-AllowClobber is to allow the installation side-to-side with AzureAD module, if you have it installed)

To configure direct federation in Azure AD using PowerShell

Install the latest version of the Azure AD PowerShell for Graph module (AzureADPreview). (If you need detailed steps, the quickstart for adding a guest user includes the section Install the latest AzureADPreview module.)
