The best thing to do is to ask the Office365 team to make their cmdlets PSCore6 compatible https://office365.uservoice.com/

Does this module use the full .NET Framework?

Yes, looks like so.
PSv5 (Windows PowerShell)

PS:22> Add-Type -AssemblyName System.ServiceModel
PS:23> [System.ServiceModel.EndpointIdentity].Assembly.FullName
System.ServiceModel, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089

PSv6.beta.1 (PowerShell Core)

PS:8> [System.ServiceModel.EndpointIdentity].Assembly.FullName
System.Private.ServiceModel, Version=4.1.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a

And the APIs under System.ServiceModel namespace are not in netstandard2.0 (see the API list here). That means this module won't automatically work on .NET Core.

That's too bad for my specific use case today! 😁

Thanks for the help.
