Are you a Super Admin? Can you tell me the exactly sequence of commands you ran from opening PowerShell? Your output has a space in the - Allclients too want to make sure that's not related.

Here is what I am running. I am a super admin in LT. a local admin of the machine I am on. I get the same error running it on the automate server as well. I have tried downloading the module directly from github and always get the same errors. AV has been disabled as well.

Could you try Get-AutomateComputer -ComputerID 12345

Pick a computer ID you know exists.

I can't replicate this. I would suggest you step through the code and figure out where it's going wrong and maybe I can give more information from there.
