@ibutbul1 could you please provide the debug information. i.e. Connect-MgGraph -ClientId $AppIdForGraph -TenantId $TenantId -CertificateThumbprint $CertificateThumbprint.Thumbprint -Debug.

@ibutbul1 I was asking if it's possible to add -Debug parameter so that we can be able to see the verbose information concerning the error.

@timayabi2020 it's happening to me the same on my local machine: even adding the debug parameter, the error is the same, no extra details....I also tried to downgrade to 2.9.1, no effects.

solved it for me, doing Disconnect-PnPOnline before the connect-mggraph.

I had this error come up with in my script, where both PnP.Powershell and MS Graph API modules are being called. Unfortunately the fix of "Disconnect-PnPOnline" did not work for me. But the workaround fix created by @TobiasAT on PnP Bug #3637 (linked below) resolved the problem for me.

Hi @ibutbul1 apologies for the late response on this issue. I wasn't able to reproduce the issue using the latest SDK version (2.25.0). See attached images of the successful execution and how my run book looks like.

Meanwhile I'll close this since the issue is targeting an old SDK version. Therefore, upgrade to the latest version and open a new issue in case you are still experiencing the same with the new SDK version.
