@Franky709 Can you please provide the command line you used when exporting? For example, using app registration with a client certificate, the following works for me:

$clientId = "XXX"
$tenantIdName = "xxx.onmicrosoft.com"
$certThumbPrintEXO = "XXX"
Export-M365DSCConfiguration -Components @("EXOAddressList") -Path D:\testbed -ApplicationId $clientId -TenantId $tenantIdName -CertificateThumbprint $certThumbprintEXO -Verbose

Did you specify -TenantId? If no, please use your company.onmicrosoft.com domain name. If yes, does it work if you use Credentials to export?

@FabienTschanz

I've tried with AppReg (certificate + thumbprint) AND Managed Identity.
Indeed i'm using .onmicrosoft.com for tenantIdName. Even tried PS5.1 and 7. Which version are you using?

Export-M365DSCConfiguration -Components @("$comp") -ManagedIdentity -TenantId $tenantName -Path $exportPath -Verbose;

Export-M365DSCConfiguration -Components @("$comp") -TenantId $tenantName -ApplicationId $appId -CertificateThumbprint $thumbprint -Path $exportPath -Verbose;
