For Conditional Access that uses TermsofUse PowerShell asked for the required roles: Agreement.Read.All, Agreement.ReadWrite.All

I had to run the following order to get it working.

Run Powershell as administrator
Install-Module Microsoft.Graph
Install-Module Microsoft365Dsc
Update-M365DSCDependencies -Force
Update-M365DSCAllowedGraphScopes -ResourceNameList @(“AADConditionalAccessPolicy”) -Type ‘Read’

Nice article, but it’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. The Help documentation on the M365DSC website is pretty poor as well, as it’s all over the place and not in the order it should be following considering I’ve just attempted to do a tenant to tenant config change – unsuccessfully so far. I’m stuck at the import stage, which you didn’t mention here. Any clues?

In reply to Chris Blackburn. Interested, wish there was a recording of the event and not just a powerpoint

Microsoft DSC is nice but there are gaps and areas to be desired. I copresented on this in session at MMS MIA 2021 and the deck that’s freely available goes into some detail around why!
