Tag: Assembly clash

A new version of the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK (V2.38) is available, as is a new version of the Exchange Online Management module. They don’t work well together. It’s annoying and beyond frustrating that two critical PowerShell modules in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem cannot work together. If anything, the situation is getting worse. On the upside, I found out about two cmdlets that I might never use – but who knows!

An assembly clash happens when a PowerShell module attempts to load a .NET assembly only to find that a different version is already loaded in the session. Unhappily, this kind of thing happens far too often with Microsoft 365 modules, which implies that there isn’t a great deal of coordination between different development groups. All you can do is to load modules in the right order.
