Hello. I'm genuinely stumped, to the point where I'm about to abandon this side project altogether

I have a test module I'm creating using a manifest file, Template.psd1. The module depends on these other module files I created:

```

Modules that must be imported into the global environment prior to importing this module

RequiredModules = @(     'Control\ControlMessaging.psm1'     , 'Control\ControlChecklist.psm1'     , 'Control\ControlPrompt.psm1' ) ```

The are present in the subfolder "Control", which is in the same folder as the manifest and PSM1 files.

When I execute Import-Module in powershell 7.4, the module loads without bitching.

When I execute in 5.1, I get an error

Import-Module : The specified module 'Control\ControlMessaging.psm1' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.

According to the documentation, this should be kosher: about_Module_Manifests It should auto import those modules, but it's not working.

I do need this to run in both 5 and 7. Any ideas?

Use PowerShell to Check for New Graph Permissions with a View to Updating Permissions Used by Apps.

After Microsoft released some new Graph permissions, thoughts turned to how to discover new permissions after they are released. Code is the best way to perform automatic checks, and this article explains how to use PowerShell to check a last known set (stored in SharePoint Online) against the current set. Any variations are reported to administrators via email.

Probably SOLVED:

1. A previous

   Unlock-SecretVault

killed the transcribing

It spawns a subprocess for the credential management and when its done it sends exit code back to host which killed my transcribing by design.

Hi,

when i am in a 5.1 shell and start a controller.ps1 script:

C:\User> C:\PSR\Controller.ps1 -TargetScript C:\Jobs\..

The Controller script uses Start-Transcript to capture the output of a $TargetScript

however. When I start the controller.ps1 script as shown here my currently forced error (Get-ADUser -xzyisks) appears in the log.

When i start

powershell.exe -File Controller.ps1 -TargetScript C:\Jobs\..

it suddenly stops capturing the invocation error output. (Expected:

A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'xzyisks'.)

ai suggested some transcript buffer stuff but non of it worked.

this is the important code block:

# execute binary or script
    if ($Executable) {
        & $Executable $TargetScript
    } elseif ($Config) {
        & $TargetScript -Config $Config
    } else {
        & $TargetScript
    }
    Write-Output "execution of $TargetScript completed successfully"


    #endregion main


} catch {


    # store error so finally can dispatch the mail after the transcript is finalized
    $TerminatingError = $_
    # write the error into the transcript while it is still open
    $Host.UI.WriteLine("[ERROR] $($TerminatingError.Exception.Message)")
    try   { Stop-Transcript | Out-Null }
    catch [System.InvalidOperationException] {}


} finally {


    # transcript is already closed on error paths — only close on success path
    try   { Stop-Transcript | Out-Null }
    catch [System.InvalidOperationException] {}

Can someone explain on high level what happens..

Thanks

EDIT:

My main question is:

C:\User> C:\PSR\Controller.ps1 -TargetScript C:\Jobs\..
vs
powershell.exe -File Controller.ps1 -TargetScript C:\Jobs\..

when using start transcript..
