    Hi @Hitesh Pattanayak ,

    Based on my search results, this error message is usually caused by a server-side issue. It could be due to a temporary glitch or a more serious problem. Here are some possible reasons for this error:

    Server-side issue: The error message indicates that the operation failed due to an internal server error. This could be caused by a temporary glitch or a more serious problem with the server.

    Authentication issue: If the authentication token is invalid or expired, it could cause this error. Please ensure that you have a valid authentication token and try again.

    Insufficient permissions: If the user or application does not have sufficient permissions to access the requested resource, it could cause this error. Please ensure that the user or application has the necessary permissions to access the resource.

    Incorrect URL: If the URL is incorrect or malformed, it could cause this error. Please ensure that the URL is correct and properly formatted.

    If you’re still encountering this error, I would recommend checking the Microsoft Graph API documentation for more information on how to troubleshoot this error.
