Introduction​

Microsoft is retiring the -Credential parameter used when connecting to Exchange Online PowerShell. Starting with module versions released in December 2026 and later, the parameter will be removed from both Connect-ExchangeOnline and Connect-IppsSession.

The change moves administrators and automation away from the Resource Owner Password Credentials (ROPC) flow, which cannot satisfy modern protections such as multifactor authentication and Conditional Access.

I have re-enabled the internal Docusaurus blog and, starting today, this space will be one of the reference points for Nebula project updates (the main one is and will remain my personal blog, but this is where English translations of those same articles can live, along with micro-updates that may have an impact on end users).

IntuneWinAppUtil GUI 1.0.7 warns you about paths that are too long before packaging, and tells you when a new version is available.

IntuneWinAppUtil GUI 1.0.6 fixes the package name proposed for PSAppDeployToolkit packages: the final file name is now proposed even when Invoke-AppDeployToolkit.ps1 does not set AppVersion.

IntuneWinAppUtil GUI 1.0.5 is an emergency fix for 1.0.4, which shipped without the Show-IntuneWinAppUtilGui command. 1.0.4 has been removed from the PowerShell Gallery.

Update-Module IntuneWinAppUtilGUI

IntuneWinAppUtil GUI 1.0.4 brought a round of input checks and a code cleanup. It was withdrawn from the PowerShell Gallery the same day: the package did not export Show-IntuneWinAppUtilGui, so the GUI could not be started. 1.0.5 replaced it about twenty minutes later with the same changes.

IntuneWinAppUtil GUI 1.0.3 recognises PSAppDeployToolkit packages and shows which version of IntuneWinAppUtil.exe you are using.

IntuneWinAppUtil GUI 1.0.2 fixes the rename of the generated package when a file with the same name is already in the output folder.

IntuneWinAppUtil GUI 1.0.1 fixes the first bug reported after 1.0.0: once installed from the PowerShell Gallery, the module could fail to load with:

Get-ChildItem: Cannot find path '...\IntuneWinAppUtilGUI\1.0.0\Private' because it does not exist.

IntuneWinAppUtil GUI is a PowerShell module with a WPF window around Microsoft's IntuneWinAppUtil.exe, the Win32 Content Prep Tool that turns an installer and its files into the .intunewin package Intune needs. Version 1.0.0 is the first one on the PowerShell Gallery.
