Must connect to ExchangeOnlineManagement 3.8.0-preview before graph SDK

[gwgaston]

Just updated to ExchangeOnlineManagement 3.8.0-Preview1 and Graph SDK 2.26.1 and now find that if I connect to Exchange first, then Graph SDK it works fine, but if I reverse that and connect to Graph first then on my connection attempt to Exchange I get an .NET related error:

Method not found: 'Microsoft.Identity.Client.PublicClientApplicationBuilder
Microsoft.Identity.Client.Broker.BrokerExtension.WithBroker(Microsoft.Identity.Client.PublicClientApplicationBuilder, Microsoft.Identity.Client.BrokerOptions)'.

I have the same issue with v3.8.0 (GA release).

I'm required to load ExchangeOnlineManagement before loading MS Graph Authentication.

This is becoming a real issue... I've noticed this with MSGraph, SQLServer, and now ExchangeOnlineManagement.
Some sort of compatibility testing should really be part of the process.

Using:

• Microsoft.Graph 2.28.0
• ExchangeOnlineManagement 3.8.0

I am having the same issue with the GA release using PowerShell 7.5.1. I rolled back to a few versions previous and it is working fine.

I am getting the same issue with 3.7.2 and 3.8.0. Downgrading to 3.7.1 solves the issue but is not an option as as Microsoft365DSC has a dependency on 3.7.2.

The workaround that works for me is:

$dummyCred = [pscredential]::new('dummy', (New-Object System.Security.SecureString))
Import-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement
try
{
    Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName dummy@contoso.com -Credential $dummyCred | Out-Null
}
catch
{
    # Exception is expected
}

Important

Connect-ExchangeOnline must be called with the UserPrincipalName parameter, otherwise the workaround does not work.

There seems to be an interference with some other modules, in my case very likely with Az.Accounts and / or Az.Resources. Loading the ExchangeOnlineManagement first AND calling Connect-ExchangeOnline makes PowerShell loading the needed types and then the cnnecting to Exchange works. However, I am not sure if this breaks something else in the Az.* modules.

I will create an issue for that.

HOW did you figure out that a fake credential would work?! 🤯 I’ve been using a real UPN to get through this but that’s not always a desirable option so I’m excited to try this workaround.
