Description of the issue

Workload SPO backup seems to progress versus SPO component fail to backup and shutdown the backup process when exception occurs
I just want the process to keep going even if it encounters an error

I tried Export-M365DSCConfiguration -ErrorAction Continue and even -ErrorActionPreference Continue at the beginning of the script but nothing works

Microsoft 365 DSC Version

1.24.403.1

Which workloads are affected

SharePoint Online

The DSC configuration

$Components += @("SPOAccessControlSettings", "SPOApp", "SPOBrowserIdleSignout", "SPOHomeSite", "SPOHubSite", "SPOOrgAssetsLibrary", "SPOPropertyBag", "SPOSearchManagedProperty", "SPOSearchResultSource", "SPOSharingSettings", "SPOSite", "SPOSiteAuditSettings", "SPOSiteDesign", "SPOSiteDesignRights", "SPOSiteGroup", "SPOSiteScript", "SPOStorageEntity", "SPOTenantCdnEnabled", "SPOTenantCdnPolicy", "SPOTenantSettings", "SPOTheme", "SPOUserProfileProperty")

Foreach($Component in $(($AllComponents | ?{$_.Service -eq $Service}).Components)) {
Export-M365DSCConfiguration -CertificateThumbprint $cert.Thumbprint -TenantId $TenantId -ApplicationId $ApplicationId -Path "$DSCExport\$Service`_$FormattedDateForDirectoryFormat" -FileName "$Component.ps1" -Components @("$Component")
}

Having the exact same issue with DSC version 1.24.403.1. In my case, I'm working to extract entire SPO workload with Default mode. The issue started a couple of weeks ago, the last successful export we had for SPO workload was April 1st then we start noticing this issue.

I updated all dependencies and removed the old ones too to no avail. Surprisingly, its only failing when extracting SPO workload and still works fine with other workloads such as EXO and Teams.

Main issues we noticed before the script fail prematurely are:

1. Failure to extract some of the SPOApp component
2. Failure to extract some of the SPOHubSite component with error (Get-MgGroup .... objects are not present (Not found)
3. a Join-Path error after extract complete due to missing an app path then script ends prematurely and fail to export the results

Error logs from today's export attempt:

@andikrueger is this something you can help with?

Workaround Solution: I had to disable the error handling CmdLets under the "M365DSCReverse.psm1" file to allow the script to continue to run without interruption!

Still have to deal with why I'm getting access denied when exporting the "Get-MgAdminSharepointSetting" despite having the API permission "Organization.Read.All" in my service principal!
