Connect-MgGraph : The type initializer for 'Azure.Identity.AuthenticationRecord' threw an exception.

Question

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.

Hi @EnterpriseArchitect

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.
