Is SerializationData dead?

Hello,

I use Powershell to connect to Exchange Online services with New-PsSession cmdlet to https://outlook.office365.com/powerShell-liveID?SerializationLevel=Full.
The connection works just fine. After that, I use the "Get-Mailbox" cmdlet.

And right now the "SerializationData" property I had access to a few days ago is missing.

So, is it a designed behavior that the "SerializationLevel=Full" doesn't work as expected? What has happened with SerializationData?

Thanks in advance!

PS: @Vasil Michev , Could you please share any information if you have one?

    No idea, sorry. I know I've previously seen it being returned with a "regular" session (without defining a serializationlevel), but they fixed that. And I'm not really sure whether it's actually supported for ExO.

    Hi,
    If you mean modifying the default command to: 

    $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid?SerializationLevel=Full -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection  
Import-PSSession $Session -DisableNameChecking

    It still works for me, I could connect to EXO with that. But it's never suggested in Microsoft official doc.
