Description
Describe the bug
I created an Azure Automation PowerShell 7.2 runbook to add a file to a SharePoint site. The Microsoft.Graph.Files module (7.2) is loaded as a resource into the automation account. The runbook authenticates with a managed identity and can successfully use other SharePoint cmdlets like Get-MgSiteDrive and Get-MgSite for the target site, so we know that SDK cmdlets work for the target site. However, when the runbook attempts to run Set-MgDriveItemContent, the error is that the cmdlet cannot be found.
The same command works perfectly with an interactive Graph SDK session (delegated and app-only).
$NewFile = Set-MgDriveItemContent -DriveId $DocumentsDrive.Id -DriveItemId $TargetFile -InFile $File
The Graph API PUT request works perfectly too.
$Uri = ("https://graph.microsoft.com/V1.0/sites/{0}/drive/items/root:/General/{1}:/content" -f $Site.Id, $ExcelOutputFile)
$NewFile = Invoke-MgGraphRequest -uri $uri -Method PUT -InputFilePath $ExcelOutputFile
Expected behavior
I expect the cmdlet to be available in an Azure Automation runbook when the module is loaded into the automation account.
How to reproduce
Create an automation account.
Add the necessary Graph SDK modules, including Microsoft.Graph.Files as account resources
Create a runbook with some code to authenticate using a managed identity and then upload a file to SharePoint with Set-MgDriveFileItemContent. Here's some example code.
$SiteUri = "https://office365itpros.sharepoint.com/sites/Office365Adoption"
$SiteId = $SiteUri.Split('//')[1].split("/")[0] + ":/sites/" + $SiteUri.Split('//')[1].split("/")[2]
$Site = Get-MgSite -SiteId $SiteId
If (!$Site) {
Write-Output ("Unable to connect to site {0} with id {1}" -f $Uri, $SiteId)
Exit
}
[array]$Drives = Get-MgSiteDrive -SiteId $Site.Id
$DocumentsDrive = $Drives | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "Documents"}
$TargetFile = "root:/General/" + $ExcelOutputFile + ":"
$NewFile = Set-MgDriveItemContent -DriveId $DocumentsDrive.Id -DriveItemId $TargetFile -InFile $File
SDK Version
2.25
Latest version known to work for scenario above?
Unknown
Known Workarounds
Use the Graph API request instead.
Debug output
Runs in Azure Automation and as the cmdlet can't be found, no debug can be output

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Azure Automation PowerShell 7.2 runbook with Microsoft.Graph.Files loaded, then compare cmdlet availability with the working interactive session. Check whether Set-MgDriveItemContent is present in the automation account resource and whether the documented Set-MgDriveFileItemContent example differs. Done means the cmdlet is available in the runbook or the limitation and workaround are documented.
