Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount fails on assembly 'Microsoft.Identity.Client, Version=4.25.0.0

[gmeronek]

I have confirmed that I have the latest update of the MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt library per the breaking change post here.

However, when I try to run Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount it fails with the error "Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount: One or more errors occurred. (Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Identity.Client, Version=4.25.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0a613f4dd989e8ae'. The system cannot find the file specified.)"

Running on Windows Datacenter 2016 Server, PowerShell Version 7.1.3
Here is a Get-InstalledModule list for the full picture.

Note that Login-PowerBIServiceAccount fails with same error as well.

Apparently you have version 4.32.1 and we require version 4.25.0. I'll look into making our module take dependency 4.25.0 or above.

As a workaround, try run your powershell with -NoProfile option if you can to see if it works

Works on
PSVersion 5.1.19041.1023
PSEdition Desktop

Broken on
PSVersion 7.0.3
PSEdition Core

Works well on my powershell 7.1.3 before and after I manually installed corresponding MSAL.PS and Microsoft.Identity.Client.
But on Win10 as I don't have machine on Windows Datacenter 2016 Server

I suggest to try 1) upgrade MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt to version as shown, 2) uninstall MSAL.PS and Microsoft.Identity.Client.

I have the same error message. The only modules listed with Get-InstalledModule is MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt* all version 1.2.1026 and the powershell version is 7.1.3.

[CattieCat]

Have you guys tried to update dependency to be 4.32.1 to see if it works for you? I don't have a repro on my side to verify.

@CattieCat , I have tested with these versions, and I am still getting the same error. My PS version is 7.1.4.

Any update on this? I am having same issue

We had the same issue yesterday. After deeper investigation it appeared that reinstallation of the module helps:

Uninstall-Module MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt
Install-Module MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt 
Import-Module MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt

Just installed on pwsh 7.2.4 and it is still throwing this error.

EDIT: It works with pwsh -noprofile -Command connect-powerbiserviceaccount . No idea what is happening in my profile. :-(

EDIT 2: My #Requires -Modules 'dbatools' is breaking me here.

EDIT 3. So my issue is that the dbatools module is on 4.14 while this module requires 4.25. I'll add an issue there.

I am facing a similar problem

My corporate workstation has Powershell core with PSVerson as 7.2.9

I managed to get past this problem by this work around:

• Launch PowerShell core using pwsh.exe -noprofile
• Install the module Az.Accounts and MicrosoftPowerBIMgmnt
• Before you do a Login-PowerBI , always do a Get-AzContext

Not a desirable work around. I would like a more robust experience.

Thanks,

I have the same issue with PowerShell version 7.5.2, with the following modules imported. The suggestion from @sdg002 to run Get-AzContext command before doing Connect-PowerBiServiceAccount worked around.

The error I get trying to run the connect command without the Get-AzContext:
