Connect-IPPSSession with CertificateThumbPrint cmdlet showing sign in popup

I've set an application to be used by a script, to login on exchange online on an unattended way, following this tutorial.

But when I try to login with it, I got the following outcome, there is a login sign in popup that its not supposed to show:

Note, I've that certificate installed in the same machine where I am running this script:

The way that I've used to create that certificate is the one step 3, recommended way.

Anyone knows how can I avoid that sign in from showing up, and let it do in fact an unattended login?

Thank in advance!

UPDATE1:

Tried with the newest exchange command and worked, but through that I am not able to use SCC cmdlets:

Have also installed the must recent ExchangeOnlineManagement version,

Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement -RequiredVersion 2.0.5

but still being popup with Connect-IPPSession ...

UPDATE2:

From documentation I need to have at least Exchange Online PowerShell module version 2.0.6-Preview5 or later, but when I use Connect-IPPSSession with CertificateThumbPrint when I close that login popup, I receive an error message with 3.0.0 on command path error.

On my system I've the following versions:

But really don't know how to force 2.0.6-Preview5 or later, under v2 to be used, instead of 3.0.0 who is the current one, for this case.

Edit Nov 21 2022: The current pre-release version 3.0.1 of ExchangeOnlineManagement has a fix for this.

I had a look at the cmdlets of the ExchangeOnlineManagement module 3.0.0.

The Problem

The Connect-IPPSSession cmdlet internally calls the Connect-ExchangeOnline cmdlet but removes the -ConnectCertificateThumbprint parameter in the internal call when run from Windows PowerShell.

These are lines 853 to 681 of ExchangeOnlineManagement.psm1:

# Will not pass CertificateThumbprint for other system except Windows
if($IsWindows -eq $true)
{
   Connect-ExchangeOnline -ConnectionUri $ConnectionUri -AzureADAuthorizationEndpointUri $AzureADAuthorizationEndpointUri -UserPrincipalName $UserPrincipalName.Value -PSSessionOption $PSSessionOption -Credential $Credential.Value -BypassMailboxAnchoring:$BypassMailboxAnchoring -ShowBanner:$false -DelegatedOrganization $DelegatedOrganization -Certificate $Certificate.Value -CertificateFilePath $CertificateFilePath.Value -CertificatePassword $CertificatePassword.Value -CertificateThumbprint $CertificateThumbprint.Value -AppId $AppId.Value -Organization $Organization.Value -Prefix $Prefix -CommandName $CommandName -FormatTypeName $FormatTypeName -UseRPSSession:$true
}
else
{
   Connect-ExchangeOnline -ConnectionUri $ConnectionUri -AzureADAuthorizationEndpointUri $AzureADAuthorizationEndpointUri -UserPrincipalName $UserPrincipalName.Value -PSSessionOption $PSSessionOption -Credential $Credential.Value -BypassMailboxAnchoring:$BypassMailboxAnchoring -ShowBanner:$false -DelegatedOrganization $DelegatedOrganization -Certificate $Certificate.Value -CertificateFilePath $CertificateFilePath.Value -CertificatePassword $CertificatePassword.Value -AppId $AppId.Value -Organization $Organization.Value -Prefix $Prefix -CommandName $CommandName -FormatTypeName $FormatTypeName -UseRPSSession:$true
}

The problem here is, that the $IsWindows variable was introduced with PowerShell Core and is not present by default in Windows PowerShell. This means that under Windows PowerShell the condition $IsWindows -eq $true evaluates as $false.

The Workaround

As a workaround in Windows PowerShell you can set the $IsWindows variable globally before calling Connect-IPPSSession:

$Global:IsWindows = $true   
Connect-IPPSSession -AppId '{App ID}' -CertificateThumbprint '{Certificate thumbprint}' -Organization '{Your Organization}.onmicrosoft.com' 

I have successfully tested this on Windows PowerShell 5.1 with ExchangeOnlineManagement 3.0.0.

So this was the only way that I managed to solve this:

Get-Command Install-Module
Install-Module PowerShellGet -Force

Close the terminal and open a new one, and do:

Get-Command Install-Module
Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement -RequiredVersion 2.0.6-Preview7 -AllowPrerelease
Import-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement -RequiredVersion 2.0.6
Connect-IPPSSession -CertificateThumbPrint "<certificatethumbprint>" -AppID "<AppID>" -Organization "foobar.onmicrosoft.com"
