Hi Folks,
I am unable to get and retrieve the Unified groups using the Microsoft Graph powershell simple command like the below:
Connect-MgGraph -Scopes Group.Read.All, GroupMember.Read.All, User.Read.All, Files.Read.All
Get-MgGroup -Filter "groupTypes/any(c:c eq 'Unified')" -All
I got this error despite I am the Global Administrator of the company.
Connect-MgGraph : The type initializer for 'Azure.Identity.AuthenticationRecord' threw an exception.

Make sure that you have installed the latest version of the Microsoft.Graph PowerShell module and its dependencies. You can use the Update-Module cmdlet to update the module and its dependencies.
Also, use the -debug parameter to output the error details.
Connect-MgGraph -Scopes Group.Read.All, GroupMember.Read.All, User.Read.All, Files.Read.All -Debug
Hi @carl zhao ,
The issue remains the same with the -debug mode.
Update-Module Microsoft.Graph -Force
Make sure your context meets the following prerequisites:
To get the current PowerShell version, run the following cmdlet:
$PSVersionTable.PSVersion
@CarlZhao-MSFT ,
this is the result:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> $PSVersionTable.PSVersion

Can you try Update-Module Az then try Connect-MgGraph?
OK, after updating the modules and then followed by a reboot, it works now.
Thank you @CarlZhao-MSFT & @Carolyne-3676
Good to know it's working now. As we discussed in the comments, you need to use the Update-Module cmdlet to update the module and its dependencies to the latest version.
Hope this helps.

It is a total mess; every command gives such a problem, do you even test anything?
