@nvtag Could you include the PSVersion table according to the issue template.

Is it possible that this problem is oucourring for the lack of Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant?
In the download link
it shows only windows supported systems.

[MaximoTrinidad]

This has been an issue for some time now.
It only works for Windows PowerShell!
:(

[Script-Nomad]

Just pointing out that this is still an issue and has not been acknowledged. 🙁

Not sure the MSOL cmdlets were ever slated to be supported in PS Core? Part of the Connect-MsolService cmdlet involves popping a GUI window for the login; this is not particularly practical or possible at the moment in PS Core -- you'll note that in Core, even credential prompts are in the shell rather than being the WinPS-style credential popups. The MSOL module hasn't accounted for this...

This has probably already been reported, but searching on the UserVoice channels for this module/service is probably a good idea just in case. I'm not sure the MSOL module is still being maintained / updated.

[iSazonov]

All MSOL cmdlets are not compatible with PowerShell Core. It is documented.

I have this problem on macos. How can I solve it? This link is only for Windows.

[vexx32]

Not much you can do without them redesigning how the authentication is handled for the module, I think.

Thank you very much. So I work with Windows.
