Hello,
Microsoft removed Graph permission "Directory.Write.Restricted" without any preannouncement.
We cannot use Update-MgDevice for devices in administrative units any more.
Directory.Write.Restricted available: Microsoft Graph permissions reference - Microsoft Graph | Microsoft Learn (June 2024)
Directory.Write.Restricted not available: Microsoft Graph permissions reference - Microsoft Graph | Microsoft Learn (current)
What is the substitute permission?
Best
Felix
