Planner Admin PowerShell Pre-requisite Error

[SimonRear]

Hi, I'm new to PowerShell and hope somebody can help out. I'm trying to meet the prerequisites before running scripts to configure M365 Planner as per this Microsoft Link.

At step 2 when I run the command;

Import-module "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\PlannerTenantAdmin\plannertenantadmin.psm1"

PowerShell displays the error;

Exception calling "LoadFrom" with "1" argument(s): "Could not load file or assembly
'file:///C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\PlannerTenantAdmin\Microsoft.Identity.Client.dll' or one
of its dependencies. Operation is not supported. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131515)"

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Modules_ModuleNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ImportModuleCommand

On the surface it looks like files can't be found however all files are in the correct place;

Can anybody please point me in the right direction on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Simon

Did you unblock the files? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/planner/prerequisites-for-powershell#unblock-your-files Tested the procedure and works fine on my Windows 11 PowerShell 7 session

Hi @Harm_Veenstra I need to pay more attention I read the check box as blocked not unblock. All working now. Thank your for your help!
