Microsoft DSC Pipeline module error "Multiple versions of the module 'M365Config'"

Question

When setting up the CI/CD pipeline from the pdf "Managing Microsoft 365 in true DevOps style with Microsoft365DSC and Azure DevOps" from Yorick Kuijs I get a pipeline error in the compile step at AzurePowerShell:

"Multiple versions of the module 'M365Config' were found. You can run 'Get-Module -ListAvailable -FullyQualifiedName M365Config' to see available versions on the system, and then use the fully qualified name '@{ModuleName="M365Config"; RequiredVersion="Version"}".

Tried different OS with no succes.

Solved;

I added these lines to the pipeline yaml config file:

Update-Module Microsoft365DSC

Update-M365DSCDependencies

Uninstall-M365DSCOutdatedDependencies

as a Inline script
