Install it to your computer: Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Graph.Authentication -RequiredVersion 2.8.0 then zip the module folder: [image: image.png] torsdag 9. november 2023 skrev Terry Duckett ***@***.***>:

Same issues here. May I ask, how can you download and upload an older version? I downloaded the nupkg of 2.8 and renamed it to a .zip for an upload, but the system did not like that. — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#2424 (comment)>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AUQ3ITFDUTY5IEFAWHDDH5TYDUUKXAVCNFSM6AAAAAA7ETHIN2VHI2DSMVQWIX3LMV43OSLTON2WKQ3PNVWWK3TUHMYTQMBUGQ3DOMZVHE> .

Hi @AlexanderHolmeset thank you for identifying and logging this issue. As a work around please use the script below to preload the missing DLL from AZ.Accounts module:

# Preload missing System.Memory.Data.dll dependency from Az.Accounts module.
$azAccountsLibPath = Join-Path (Split-Path ((Get-Module Az.Accounts -ListAvailable)[0]).Path -Parent) "lib"
Write-Host "$azAccountsLibPath"
Add-Type -AssemblyName (Join-Path $azAccountsLibPath "netstandard2.0" "System.Memory.Data.dll")

# Connect to Microsoft Graph.
Connect-MgGraph -ManagedIdentity

@timayabi2020, thanks for the workaround.

I just added the script block to my script like you did:

But I still get an error:

I am using Powershell Runtime version 5.1. Does your workaround only work with Powershell Runtime 7.2?

Thanks for the clarification! 😊

I think this issue is also breaking the M365 DSC connection cmdlets that I am using with an Azure Automation system managed identity, see my post here: microsoft/Microsoft365DSC#3867
