@risetostar Did you run Update-M365DSCModule in an elevated Windows PowerShell session? This command installs / updates all the necessary modules to run Microsoft365DSC.

Hi FabienTschanz,
Thank you for reviewing this issue.I have attempted the following troubleshooting steps:

Uninstalled and reinstalled the M365DSCModule.
Ran Update-M365DSCModule in an elevated PowerShell session.
Updated PowerShell 7 to the latest version.
Additionally, I ensured the installation of the following modules:

Install-Module -Name ReverseDSC
Install-Module -Name MSCloudLoginAssistant
Install-Module Microsoft.Graph -Scope CurrentUser
Install-Module -Name PSDesiredStateConfiguration -Repository PSGallery -MaximumVersion 2.99
Despite these steps, I am still encountering the error related to "Add-ConfigurationDataEntry not being recognized as a cmdlet."
Please let me know if you require any further details.

I'll spin up a test machine and check.

@bsj17 @risetostar I was able to successfully export a configuration using the following lines of code in an elevated Windows PowerShell (not PowerShell 7 / Core):

Install-Module Microsoft365DSC -Force
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass
Update-M365DSCModule
# Import certificate - No PowerShell command
Export-M365DSCConfiguration -Components "IntuneFirewallPolicyWindows10" -Path "C:\testbed" -ApplicationId <applicationId> -TenantId abc.onmicrosoft.com -CertificateThumbprint <thumbprint>

And that's it. Fresh from a Windows sandbox environment, no additional things.

Add-ConfigurationDataEntry is part of the ReverseDSC module. Please provide the following output from a Windows PowerShell session: Get-Module ReverseDSC -ListAvailable.

@risetostar Also, Install-Module Microsoft.Graph -Scope CurrentUser is wrong. That doesn't do any good, installing it in the user scope. Please only use either Update-M365DSCModule or Update-M365DSCDependencies to update / install the dependencies on that machine.
