Running this I get the an error. Could you please advise on how to best solve this? It works if I run the Export-command locally on a server towards the same Entra ID, but not through Azure Devops using your code. Thanks.

Are you sure you are using the same EntraExporter version as used in the pipeline? And account with exactly the same permissions? Anyway this seems to be related to the EntraExporter module more of the pipeline code. The problem seems to be in the called uri (filter part). But it's truncated in what you have sent. So hard to say

Ondrej Sebela The code I use in Azure Devops is copied this morning directly from your github, only alteration I have done to it is change the name of the service connection. Rest is identical. I thought first it might be the module, but I got it (the Export-module) working locally on my server towards the same Entra ID so not sure. Do you know how I can un-truncate the error message? The error is equally copied directly, only alteration I made was a few Xs.
