[Bug]: VerbosePreference property not found on this object

[silverhack]

What happened?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently using Monkey365 (v0.95.1) to run a Microsoft 365 security assessment. I'm executing a collection that includes AdminPortal, ExchangeOnline, MicrosoftTeams, and SharePointOnline (Purview was excluded due to connection issues).

However, when I run the following:

$options = @{ Instance = 'Microsoft365'; Collect = @('AdminPortal','ExchangeOnline','MicrosoftTeams','SharePointOnline'); PromptBehavior = 'SelectAccount'; IncludeEntraID = $true; ExportTo = @('CSV', 'HTML'); WriteLog = $true; } Invoke-Monkey365 @options

I get this error:

Write-Error : [Invoke-M365Scanner] - Unable to create var object: The property 'VerbosePreference' was not found on this object. Verify that the property exists. At C:\Monkey365\core\tasks\Initialize-MonkeyScan.ps1:99 char:13

throw ("{0}: {1}" -f "Unable to create var object",$_.Exception.Message) Has anyone run into this issue?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can share insights or confirm the best approach.

Hey all I can confirm that it's a bug and only appears when the -Verbose option is not set. I'll add this as a new issue.

In the meantime you can use the following:

$options = @{
    Instance = 'Microsoft365';
    Collect = @('AdminPortal','ExchangeOnline','MicrosoftTeams','SharePointOnline');
    PromptBehavior = 'SelectAccount';
    IncludeEntraID = $true;
    ExportTo = @('CSV', 'HTML');
    WriteLog = $true;
    Verbose = $true;
    Debug = $true;
}
Invoke-Monkey365 @options

Could you please let me know if the above works for you?

Thanks for catching this @roohfelix! It's really appreciated.

Cheers,

Hey @roohfelix could you please check the dev branch and do let me know?

@silverhack I also encountered the problem and can confirm it is fixed in the dev branch (0.95.2).

Thanks mate! I'll then update the main branch shortly.
