PS /data/Downloads> install-module Microsoft.Graph.Intune
PS /data/Downloads> Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.Intune
PS /data/Downloads> Connect-MSGraph

Expected behavior

I expected to be prompted for credentials and connect to the graph API.

Actual behavior

Connect-MSGraph : Could not load type 'System.Security.Cryptography.SHA256Cng' from assembly 'System.Core, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.

This was tested with core 6 as well as the current pwsh-preview (PowerShell 7) github build from source (as of 8/6/2019) as well as current pwsh & pwsh-preview snaps on Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine). See https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/10291.

I also reported this bug in the PowerShellModuleCoverage repo, https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShellModuleCoverage/issues/9#event-2541388639, but they closed it and suggested I open it here. I’m not sure if it’s because SHA256Cng is deprecated or if there’s other reasoning.
