Cannot Import Microsoft Graph Modules: Import-Module : Function Invoke-MgGraphGroupDrive cannot be created because function capacity 4096 has been exceeded for this scope.

Question

Hello Everyone

I am trying to use Microsoft Graph, but Powershell completely freezes up when I try to import the module with "Import-Module Microsoft.Graph". It also freezes up when I try to use specific modules like "Microsoft.Graph.Files" or I get the error " Import-Module : Function Invoke-MgGraphGroupDrive cannot be created because function capacity 4096 has been exceeded for this scope."

I already tried the following steps:

1. Uninstalled and reinstalled Powershell
2. Removed all Modules and reinstalled them
3. Installed the newest Version of .NET
4. Tried it on a different device

Do you might know how I could further troubleshoot this?

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards,

Gabriel

Answer 1

My step by step to troubleshoot:

Required to run the powershell script

Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Graph -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser -Force

Update-Module -Name Microsoft.Graph

$maximumfunctioncount = '32768'

Import-Module -Name Microsoft.Graph

Thank you for your time in helping.

The error message indicates that the function capacity has been exceeded for the current scope. It happens if you have imported too many modules in your PowerShell session. A couple of steps to help you troubleshoot:

1. Ensure you have installed the module using Install-Module Microsoft.Graph -Scope YourPrefferedScope(CurrentUser/AllUsers) doc link here then verify if installed using Get-InstalledModule Microsoft.Graph
2. Please increase the $maximumfunctioncount to the max 32768 and try and load the Graph Modules that you need- Reference for existing modules . Including necessary modules will free up capacity.
3. You can run the Import-Module Microsoft.Graph to allow for the cmdlets to be available for the PowerShell session.
