PowerBi cmdlets for Powershell - Error Acquiring Token

Andrea_CS — Wed, 25 May 2022 14:06:12 GMT

Hi all,
I would like to execute some basic commands using PowerBi cmdlets for Powershell. I have installed these modules on PowerShell:

MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt
MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Admin
MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Capacities
MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Data
MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Profile
MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Reports
MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt.Workspaces

When using "Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount" the login screen for my organization comes up and I login correctly using my credentials.

Once the connection is established i need to execute these simple calls: "Get-PowerBIWorkspace" and "Get-PowerBIReport" but I get this error:

Message : Error Acquiring Token:
The WriteObject and WriteError methods cannot be called from outside the overrides of the BeginProcessing, ProcessRecord, and EndProcessing methods, and
they can only be called from within the same thread. Validate that the cmdlet makes these calls correctly, or contact Microsoft Customer Support Services.

I have full permissions in Azure Active Directory and PowerBi Service Account. Please any ideas how to solve this issue?

Thank you
