And then after PIM says its done, it's not ;) Security portals are notorious for taking a long time to actually load things properly post PIM elevation haha. Recently started having similar delays with SharePoint Online even :(

My guess is it's probably just how the logic worked out for some commands in the auto rest process for the procedurally generated code, but I'm curious, nonetheless.

Probably not a new thing I'm bringing up, and often something I don't ponder about - but talking with a colleague today he made a good point about it being New versus Add, and I'm willing to bet this 'issue' exists in other commands.

compared to my previous auth flow where I just provided the UPN and auth'd via my edge profile, no additional clicks required. Seems like 3.7+ it's probably best to leave off the -UserPrincipalName and let the account picker pop up do the work?

learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/... found a bit of general information here, and it mentions the AAD broker plugin which I did see get called during the authentication process in 3.7.

The 'Account Picker' this references works - if you don't pass it the UPN, but still requires an extra click...

I guess i'm confused. The old auth flow worked well for me. I had a profile setup in edge and i literally just ran `Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName 'x'` and I was in. it opened a tab in edge. I've lost that functionality in 3.7. Using UPN forces a auth prompt in its own dialogue window.

Yeah - We use this a lot in modules. It's super handy for an assortment of situations.

Attempted to add those two modules to the session configuration (PSSC) file that I have, so I saved it, ran Set-PSSessionConfiguration,restarted winrm, but no dice.

The error for what it's worth is : New-PSSession : Unable to find type [Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.PowerShellGet.Telemetry].

By work around it - I think adding PowerShellGet and PackageManagement to the session configuration for 'ModulesToImport' may do the trick (still need to test), but I'd prefer not changing that if at all possible.

I could probably work around it, by changing the session itself, but ideally I don't need to change anything on my end. I think this is potentially how they are adding the 'you need to update' message on the 'banner' when you run Connect-ExchangeOnline now. Anyone else run into this?

For me - I was working in IT Support and was tasked with building out an Asset Management solution with no budget, just my own time. I found an open source solution (Snipe IT), and since it was not agent-based, I did what I could and created a powershell script to onboard assets into the system.
