Why I am not able to export tenant configuration via M365DSC PowerShell cmdlets?

I have run all required cmdlets but still its not exporting completely and showing partially exported.

Import-module Microsoft365DSC

Export-M365DSCConfiguration

I am getting below message on PowerShell

PS C:\Users\username> Export-M365DSCConfiguration

cmdlet Get-Credential at command pipeline position 1

Supply values for the following parameters:

Exporting Microsoft 365 configuration for Mode: Default

Authentication methods specified:

The term 'Save-Credentials' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was includ

ed, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Hi Vinod,

I suggest to browse to https://export.microsoft365dsc.com There you can select which workloads you would like to export and select the authentication method you would like to use.

Make sure you read through the prerequisites section of the documentation: https://microsoft365dsc.com/user-guide/get-started/prerequisites/

Let me know if you have some additional questions.

Regards,

Ruud

Hi Vinod,

Once I updated the module and dependencies, it ran successfully.

I used the commands below:

Update-Module Microsoft365DSC

Update-M365DSCDependencies
