xExchOabVirtualDirectory: xExchange resources errrors after upgrading module from 1.13 to 1.32

[kevindd992002]

Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring

After upgrading the xExchange module on our pull server, I'm having these event viewer errors on most of the xExchange resources (not just xExchOabVirtualDirectory):

This event indicates that a non-terminating error was thrown when DSCEngine was executing Test-TargetResource on MSFT_xExchOabVirtualDirectory DSC resource. FullyQualifiedErrorId is RuntimeException. ErrorMessage is Cannot convert the "[PSSession]DSCExchangeSession" value of type "System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.PSSession" to type "System.Management.Automation.Remoting.PSSessionOption"..

This event indicates that a non-terminating error was thrown when DSCEngine was executing Test-TargetResource on MSFT_xExchOabVirtualDirectory DSC resource. FullyQualifiedErrorId is Modules_ModuleNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ImportModuleCommand. ErrorMessage is The specified module 'C:\Windows\TEMP\DSCExchangeModule\DSCExchangeModule.psm1' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory..

It's always those two errors showing for each resource.

I think this issue need more verbose logs from the output when running the resource. Since there are integration tests for this module this seems to not happen for the integration test which could indicate the environment that generate this error have son other setup that we are not testing.
