PnP.Powershell – important changes to Powershell version requirement

[Important changes] PnP.Powershell – Are you using PnP.Powershell (or considering to update) to manage your Microsoft 365 environments and products such as SharePoint Online, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Planner, OneDrive, Microsoft Flow and more.

You should note the changes introduced in v.2.1.0 in the change-log
https://github.com/pnp/powershell/blob/dev/CHANGELOG.md

v2.1.0:

• Removed support for PowerShell 5, only PowerShell 7.2 and later will be supported from here onwards
• Added support for .NET 6.0 since .NET Core 3.1 support is getting deprecated. We have removed support for .NET Core 3.1, so users will have to update from PowerShell 7.0.x to PowerShell 7.2.x or later

PnP PowerShell is a cross-platform PowerShell Module providing over 650 cmdlets that work with Microsoft 365 environments and products such as SharePoint Online, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Planner, Microsoft Flow and more. It runs on Windows, Linux and MacOS

Example – how you can call PnP.Powershell cmdlets using PS 7.x PWSH from PS 5.1

# Since v2.1.0 of PnP.Powershell, Cmdlets only support PS 7.2+
# There we are calling PWSH with a script-block

pwsh -Command  {
	param($Parameter1, $Parameter2, $Parameter3, $Parameter4, $Parameter5, $Parameter6, $Parameter7)

	Write-Output "Connecting to Sharepoint Online / OneDrive using High Privilege Account using Modern method (certificate)"
	$Connection1 = Connect-PnPOnline -Url $Parameter1 -ClientId $Parameter2 -Tenant $Parameter3 -Thumbprint $Parameter4 -ReturnConnection

	Write-host "Checking OneDrive settings for $($Parameter5)"
	$OneDriveUrl = Get-PnPUserProfileProperty -Account $Parameter5 -Connection $Connection1
	If ($OneDriveUrl.PersonalUrl)
		{
			Write-host "Adding manager $($Parameter7) with full control permissions to OneDrive"
			$Connection2 = Connect-PnPOnline -Url $OneDriveUrl.PersonalUrl -ClientId $Parameter2 -Tenant $Parameter3 -Thumbprint $Parameter4 -ReturnConnection
			$AddOwner = Add-PnPSiteCollectionAdmin -Owners $Parameter6 -Connection $Connection2

			$VerifyOneDriveAdmins = Get-PnPSiteCollectionAdmin -Connection $Connection2
			If ( ($Parameter6 -in $VerifyOneDriveAdmins.Email) -or ($Parameter6 -eq $VerifyOneDriveAdmins.Email) )
				{
					Write-host "Manager added to OneDrive"
				}
			Else
				{
					Write-host "Manager WAS NOT added to OneDrive"
				}
