Powershell 6.2.3 unable to import AzureAd module

Question

I am getting the below error when importing the "AzureAD" powershell module. I have installed the module, unable to import it. I have checked to see if there are any prerequisites required, nothing mentioned in GitHub.

Earlier, I was able to install and import "AZ" module.

UPDATE : Resolved one dependency by copying the system.windows.forms.dll, but more runtime errors...

Answer 1

Which .NET version are you using? You may need to update it as this was an issue with older versions. If that doesn't work you can remove the dependency on System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation to get rid of the error in your screenshot.

Answer 2

It seems that the AzureAD Module is not compatible with PowerShell Core due to the WinForms dependency. I have tried both 7.0.0 and 6.2.4 which did not work

However you can install it using the Desktop version of PowerShell. This version works for me.

PS C:\Windows\system32> $PSVersionTable

Name                           Value

Run elevated

Install-Module AzureAD

And then move on...

Import-Module -Name AzureAD

$creds = Get-Credential -Message "Credentials to connect to Azure AD"
Connect-AzureAD -Credential $creds

Get-AzureADCurrentSessionInfo
