v1.24.417.1+ Causes error "The WMI service or the WMI provider returned an unknown error: HRESULT 0x80041033" on Exchange workload

[jadamones]

Description of the issue

Getting this error when testing Exchange workloads on all ADO agents using the testcompliance.ps1 script or running Test-DSCConfiguration on any machine after updating to version '1.24.424.1'.

Switching back to version 1.24.403.1 and swapping resources affected by breaking changes back seems to resolve the issue. I attempted to debug but it's cumbersome and it seems to fail randomly and not on a specific resource.

I'm getting these errors in the event log when it happens.

I'm facing the same issue here (Microsoft365DSC 1.24.515.2). When running Start-DSCConfiguration -Path ... -Wait -Verbose -Force for the resource ExchangeOnline and I'm having more than two EXO components configured, it stops after around 10 minutes with the error message:
