Hi Team

When we tried to install AzureAD using powershell, we received the following error message, we have checked and no firewall or internet policies are applied, if we go directly to the URL, we are able to download the file manually:

NuGet provider is required to continue PowerShellGet requires NuGet provider version '2.8.5.201' or newer to interact with NuGet-based repositories. The NuGet provider must be available in 'C:\Program Files\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies' or 'C:\Users\Adminaa9f1bc2eb\AppData\Local\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies'.

Hello Ruben Antonio Moreno Escalona

You're encountering a known issue with PowerShell's Package Management and NuGet provider installation, especially common in older PowerShell versions (5.1 and below) and systems with TLS issues or restricted environments. Even though you can download the NuGet provider manually via browser, PowerShell may fail due to TLS protocol restrictions, Outdated PowerShellGet/PackageManagement modules, Corrupted module folders, Missing permissions on user folders https://devblogs.microsoft.com/powershell/when-powershellget-v1-fails-to-install-the-nuget-provider/

Microsoft Entra PowerShell module is not compatible with PowerShell 5.1 and below. download and install the latest version of PowerShell 7 from the official site: $PSVersionTable.PSVersion

If it’s less than 7.0, you need to download https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases

The NuGet provider download may fail due to defaulting to TLS 1.0 or 1.1 (which Microsoft no longer supports).

Net.ServicePointManager::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

Manually download the NuGet provider package from a machine with internet access:

Visit: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PackageManagement/1.4.8.1

Save the .nupkg file to a known location--->Then, on the target machine-->Create the necessary directory:

New-Item -Path "$env:ProgramFiles\PackageManagement" -ItemType Directory -Force

Copy the downloaded .nupkg file into this directory.

After placing the .nupkg file in the correct directory, import the NuGet provider:

Import-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -Force

If that succeeds, test:

Get-PackageProvider -ListAvailable

The AzureAD and MSOnline PowerShell modules are deprecated as of March 30, 2024, and will be fully retired by July 1, 2025. now recommends the Microsoft Entra PowerShell module, which is the latest and actively supported solution.

Open PowerShell as an administrator
Install-Module Microsoft.Entra -Scope CurrentUser -Force -AllowClobber
After installation, authenticate to your Entra ID tenant: Connect-MicrosoftEntra -TenantId 'your-tenant-id' or Connect-Entra -Scopes 'User.Read.All'
To confirm that the module is installed and functioning correctly, list all available cmdlets -- Get-Command -Module Microsoft.Entra
If this fails, it means the module wasn't installed correctly confirm it's installed and discover available commands:
Get-Module -ListAvailable Microsoft.Entra
Get-Command -Module Microsoft.Entra

Microsoft Entra PowerShell Module Overview
Microsoft Entra PowerShell Module Installation
Migrate from AzureAD PowerShell to Microsoft Graph PowerShell
https://github.com/AzureAD/MSIdentityTools
Microsoft Entra PowerShell module now generally available

I hope this clarifies things.

Hello Ruben Antonio Moreno Escalona

This is a TLS protocol mismatch issue, and it’s preventing your system from securely downloading packages from the PowerShell Gallery (like Microsoft.Graph.Authentication, which is a dependency of Microsoft.Entra)

if you are using PowerShell 5.1 on Windows, and although you've enabled TLS 1.2 in the session. this only affects PowerShell 5.1–based networking. The newer Install-PSResource and PowerShellGet v3 use .NET Core–based APIs, and these are not affected by that line.

When using PowerShell 7+ or even updated TLS in Windows, a "HandshakeFailure" typically means Your system does not support modern TLS versions properly, or There’s an intercepting proxy/firewall/antivirus that tampers with TLS handshakes, or your OS or .NET version doesn’t support the cipher suites required by the PowerShell Gallery/CDN (AzureEdge).

You're in an enterprise or secured environment that blocks required protocols or uses an SSL inspection proxy.

Install and run from PowerShell 7.4+, which uses .NET 6/7 with modern TLS defaults: Download: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases

Run this to find your installed .NET version
Get-ChildItem "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full" | Get-ItemPropertyValue -Name Release

You need .NET Framework 4.7.2 or later. If it returns a number less than 461808, upgrade from here.

Then try - Install-Module Microsoft.Entra -Scope CurrentUser -Force -AllowClobber

-If you're in a secure environment where TLS issues persist then On another machine with working internet access (or one without proxy/TLS restrictions):

Save-Module -Name Microsoft.Entra -Path "C:\Temp\Modules"

Copy the entire Microsoft.Entra folder to your target system:

Destination: C:\Users<User>\Documents\PowerShell\Modules

Then on the target system, import it manually:

Import-Module Microsoft.Entra

Get-Command -Module Microsoft.Entra

-If you're behind a corporate proxy that does SSL inspection, it may block the handshake.

Try accessing the failing URL in a browser:

https://psg-prod-eastus.azureedge.net/packages/microsoft.graph.authentication.2.25.0.nupkg

If you see a certificate mismatch or a browser warning, that confirms it’s a TLS inspection or certificate pinning issue common in enterprise environments.

If nothing else works, you can manually download and install the .nupkg file.

Go here:https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Microsoft.Graph.Authentication/2.28.0

Download the .nupkg manually.

Unzip it to your $env:USERPROFILE\Documents\PowerShell\Modules\Microsoft.Graph.Authentication\2.28.0\

Re-attempt the Install-Module Microsoft.Entra.

Hello Ruben Antonio Moreno Escalona,

The error might be due to PowerShell attempting to download modules from an outdated v2 NuGet API endpoint, which is no longer supported by the PowerShell Gallery.

To resolve the issue, try the below:

Ensure TLS 1.2 is enforced:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

Update NuGet provider:

Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -Force -Scope CurrentUser

Update PowerShellGet and PackageManagement:

Install-Module PowerShellGet -Force -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser Install-Module PackageManagement -Force -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser

Restart PowerShell, then install the module:

Install-Module Microsoft.Entra -Scope CurrentUser -Force -AllowClobber

Let me know if it works - feel free to reach out if any further queries!

Hello Ruben Antonio Moreno Escalona,

To resolve the issue, Use Windows PowerShell (5.1) for module installation.

Open Windows PowerShell as Administrator.

Set TLS 1.2 protocol:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

Manually install or update NuGet provider:

Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -Force -Scope CurrentUser

Now Update PowerShellGet and PackageManagement modules:

Install-Module PowerShellGet -Force -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser Install-Module PackageManagement -Force -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser

Restart Windows PowerShell.

Now install the module Microsoft.Entra and try.

Run Windows PowerShell as Administrator for installing or updating providers and modules

'Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force'. Do you want PowerShellGet to install and import the NuGet provider now?

Hello Ruben Antonio Moreno Escalona,

The error might be due to PowerShell attempting to download modules from an outdated v2 NuGet API endpoint, which is no longer supported by the PowerShell Gallery.

To resolve the issue, try the below:

Ensure TLS 1.2 is enforced:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

Update NuGet provider:

Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -Force -Scope CurrentUser

Update PowerShellGet and PackageManagement:

Install-Module PowerShellGet -Force -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser Install-Module PackageManagement -Force -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser

Restart PowerShell, then install the module:

Install-Module Microsoft.Entra -Scope CurrentUser -Force -AllowClobber

Let me know if it works - feel free to reach out if any further queries!

Hello Ruben Antonio Moreno Escalona,

To resolve the issue, Use Windows PowerShell (5.1) for module installation.

Open Windows PowerShell as Administrator.

Set TLS 1.2 protocol:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

Manually install or update NuGet provider:

Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -Force -Scope CurrentUser

Now Update PowerShellGet and PackageManagement modules:

Install-Module PowerShellGet -Force -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser Install-Module PackageManagement -Force -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser

Restart Windows PowerShell.

Now install the module Microsoft.Entra and try.

Run Windows PowerShell as Administrator for installing or updating providers and modules

Answer 1

Hi

The issue was caused by outdated PowerShellGet and PackageManagement modules, which blocked the NuGet provider installation.

Update the required modules

Install-Module -Name PowerShellGet -Force -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser
Install-Module -Name PackageManagement -Force -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser

Restart PowerShell to apply the changes.

After that, install the Microsoft Entra module using the following command

Install-Module Microsoft.Entra -Scope CurrentUser -Force -AllowClobber

Import the module (if needed):

Import-Module Microsoft.Entra

Then, connect to Microsoft Entra ID using the following command:

Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "Directory.Read.All"

Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/gallery/powershellget/install-powershellget?view=powershellget-3.x&viewFallbackFrom=powershell-7.4

Hope I was able to clear your query here. It would be great if you could kindly mark the answer as accepted so that anyone having similar query on MS Q&A forum can refer to it. Thanks.
