I keep getting System.Management.Automation.RuntimeException: You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression. for almost everything I run. Some things will work, like enterprise apps, but then once it gets past those it starts to bomb out again. It successfully exported users once, but after running it again, it runs enterprise apps, but not users, etc.
Graph Permissions attached.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm encountering the same issue. I hope to resolve this so we can utilize it for our enterprise customers. It worked on my sandbox machine, so I'm now investigating the differences.
So I ended up having to delete all powershell modules under my local user and I deleted the ones in program files as well to boot, any that were remotely related to Microsoft in any way. Then, on powershell 5, I installed the DSC module for all users, then I ran the Update-M365DSCDependencies module in Powershell 5 for all users. This then allowed everything to work on Powershell 5.
