Creating function in powershell to edit user via MgGraph SDK

Question

Hi, I'm writing a function in powershell which edits the given parameters.
The function parameters look like this:

function EditUser {
    param (
        [string]$UserId,

        # Generic Information
        [string]$DisplayName = $null,
        [string]$GivenName = $null,
        [string]$Surname = $null,
        [string]$AccountEnabled = $null,
        [string]$JobTitle = $null,
        [string]$Department = $null,
        [string]$OfficeLocation = $null,
        [string]$UserType = $null,

        # Contacts
        [string]$Mail = $null,
        [string[]]$BusinessPhones = @(),
        [string]$MobilePhone = $null,
        [string]$FaxNumber = $null,
        [string]$MailNickname = $null,
        [string[]]$OtherMails = @(),

        # Place
        [string]$Country = $null,
        [string]$City = $null,
        [string]$State = $null,
        [string]$StreetAddress = $null,
        [string]$PostalCode = $null,

        # Other
        [int]$DeviceEnrollmentLimit = $null,
        [string]$Birthday = $null,
        [string]$PreferredLanguage = $null,
        [string]$PreferredName = $null,
        [string]$UsageLocation = $null
    )

But when it executes the following command...

$userToUpdate = Get-MgUser -Filter "id eq '$UserId'" -Select `
        displayName, givenName, surname, accountEnabled, jobTitle, department, `
        officeLocation, userType, mail, businessPhones, mobilePhone, faxNumber, `
        mailNickname, otherMails, country, city, state, streetAddress, postalCode, `
        deviceEnrollmentLimit, birthday, preferredLanguage, preferredName, usageLocation

...I get the following error:

Get-MgUser : This operation target is not yet supported.

I don't get which parameter(s) is giving me the error.

Hi @Alessandro Pellitteri ,

I'm glad that you were able to resolve your issue and thank you for posting your solution so that others experiencing the same thing can easily reference this! Since the Microsoft Q&A community has a policy that "The question author cannot accept their own answer. They can only accept answers by others ", I'll repost your solution in case you'd like to "Accept " the answer.

Issue:

You received the error, "This operation target is not yet supported" when trying to create a function in Powershell to edit a set of parameters. When updating the parameters, you were unable to isolate which parameters were triggering the error.

Solution:

You figured out that the issue was caused by these parameters: deviceEnrollmentLimit, birthday, preferredLanguage, preferredName

Certain properties can only be retrieved for individual users and not for a collection of users. https://github.com/microsoftgraph/microsoft-graph-docs/issues/381
