Hi, Leon.

I'd expect - given its age - that the AAD Connect modules were not authored with PowerShell in mind (as distinct from Windows PowerShell, which is what they would have been targeting).

There's many first-party modules which fit this profile.

Try running your Import-Module like this instead.

Import-Module -UseWindowsPowerShell -Name ADSync;

This will allow it to leverage the .NET Framework rather than only what's available in .NET Core.

Cheers,
Lain
