Issue Description

When running the AzureFileCopy task in a self hosted agent it is failing with a You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression exception.

Looking at the debug logs it is failing at this point:

##[debug]at CleanUp-PSModulePathForHostedAgent, C:\azp\agent\_work\_tasks\AzureFileCopy_eb72cb01-a7e5-427b-a8a1-1b31ccac8a43\5.231.2\Utility.ps1: line 1368
##[debug]at <ScriptBlock>, C:\azp\agent\_work\_tasks\AzureFileCopy_eb72cb01-a7e5-427b-a8a1-1b31ccac8a43\5.231.2\AzureFileCopy.ps1: line 69

Remoting to the container to look at that file, the stack is pointing to the CleanUp-PSModulePathForHostedAgent method

function CleanUp-PSModulePathForHostedAgent {
    # Clean up PSModulePath for hosted agent
    $azureRMModulePath = "C:\Modules\azurerm_2.1.0"
    $azureModulePath = "C:\Modules\azure_2.1.0"
    $newEnvPSModulePath = $env:PSModulePath

    if ($newEnvPSModulePath.split(";") -contains $azureRMModulePath) {
        $newEnvPSModulePath = (($newEnvPSModulePath).Split(";") | ? { $_ -ne $azureRMModulePath }) -join ";"
        write-verbose "$azureRMModulePath removed. Restart the prompt for the changes to take effect."
    }
    else {
        write-verbose "$azureRMModulePath is not present in $newEnvPSModulePath"
    }

    if ($newEnvPSModulePath.split(";") -contains $azureModulePath) {     <-- **************** this line ****************
        $newEnvPSModulePath = (($newEnvPSModulePath).Split(";") | ? { $_ -ne $azureModulePath }) -join ";"
        write-verbose "$azureModulePath removed. Restart the prompt for the changes to take effect."
    }
    else {
        write-verbose "$azureModulePath is not present in $newEnvPSModulePath"
    }

    if (Test-Path "C:\Modules\az_*") {
        $azPSModulePath = (Get-ChildItem "C:\Modules\az_*" -Directory `
            | Sort-Object { [version]$_.Name.Split('_')[-1] } `
            | Select-Object -Last 1).FullName

        Write-Verbose "Found Az module path $azPSModulePath, will be used"
        $env:PSModulePath = ($azPSModulePath + ";" + $newEnvPSModulePath).Trim(";")
    }
}

We are setting the AZP_AGENT_CLEANUP_PSMODULES_IN_POWERSHELL environment variable to true based on comments this this issue: #17708 as we were getting the same error in that issue when trying to run powershell tasks as them.

This is the minimal yaml that we've got reproducing this issue, where it creates a stub files & then tries to copy it using the AzureFileCopy task:

steps:
  - task: PowerShell@2
    displayName: List env vars and create stub file
    inputs:
      targetType: 'inline'
      script: |
        ls env:* | sort name | ft -AutoSize
        Write-Host "set test data to - $($env:PIPELINE_WORKSPACE)/drop/test.manifest"
        New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path "$($env:PIPELINE_WORKSPACE)/test/" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
        '{"test":2}' > "$($env:PIPELINE_WORKSPACE)/test/test.manifest"
  
  - task: AzureFileCopy@5
    displayName: test copy
    inputs:
      SourcePath: $$(Pipeline.Workspace)/test/*.manifest
      azureSubscription: ${{ parameters.azureSubscription }}
      Destination: AzureBlob
      storage: teststorageaccount
      ContainerName: buildtest
      AdditionalArgumentsForBlobCopy: --overwrite true

We've tried disabling this by wrapping just the AzureFileCopy with tasks that disable/enable the AZP_AGENT_CLEANUP_PSMODULES_IN_POWERSHELL, but this leads to the same Error in TypeData "System.Security.AccessControl.ObjectSecurity": The member AuditToString is already present error again

  - script: |
      echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=AZP_AGENT_CLEANUP_PSMODULES_IN_POWERSHELL]false"

  - task: AzureFileCopy@5
    displayName: test copy
    inputs:
      SourcePath: $$(Pipeline.Workspace)/test/*.manifest
      azureSubscription: ${{ parameters.azureSubscription }}
      Destination: AzureBlob
      storage: teststorageaccount
      ContainerName: buildtest
      AdditionalArgumentsForBlobCopy: --overwrite true
  
  - script: |
      echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=AZP_AGENT_CLEANUP_PSMODULES_IN_POWERSHELL]true"

Finishing: test copy

The docker container we are using to build the agents on is fairly basic, we're only pre-installing the Az module. All the other tasks in the pipelines are running fine.
