Pull Request (PR) description
This PR removes the dependency that all PowerShell modules need to be installed under C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules* and massively improves the installation speed if the
Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet
module is installed. This module is installed by default if run from PowerShell 7.4 or greater.The improvement is inspired from issue #5433 and from my own experience with PowerShell 7. Microsoft365DSC seems to run fine with PowerShell 7, and now it doesn't require a hard dependency on any module except
PnP.PowerShell
to be installed under Windows PowerShell 5.1.This Pull Request (PR) fixes the following issues
None.
