Powershell Lambda for AD failing with "A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Culture'"

Question

I am attempting to create a Powershell Lambda, which runs this script to alert AD users of expiring passwords via SES: 
#Requires –Modules ActiveDirectory
#Requires -Modules @{ModuleName='AWSPowerShell.NetCore';ModuleVersion='3.3.283.0'}
$pwd = ConvertTo-SecureString 'XXXXXXXXX' -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential('XXXXXXXXXXX', $pwd) 
Get-ADUser -Filter * -Server XXXXXXXXXX -SearchBase "OU=User,OU=TestADManagement,OU=TestOU,DC=XXXXXXXXXXX,DC=com" -Properties Name, mail, Enabled, AccountExpirationDate, AccountExpires, msDS-UserPasswordExpiryTimeComputed -Credential $cred | Select-Object -Property Name, mail, AccountExpirationDate, AccountExpires, Enabled, @{Name="PasswordExpiry"; Expression={[datetime]::FromFileTime($_."msDS-UserPasswordExpiryTimeComputed")}} | Where-Object {(($_.AccountExpirationDate -gt (Get-Date)) -or ($_.AccountExpires -eq '0') -or ($_.AccountExpires -eq '9223372036854775807')) -and $_.Enabled -eq $true -and ($_.PasswordExpiry -lt ((Get-Date).AddDays(87))) -and $_.PasswordExpiry -notlike "12/31/1600*" } | ForEach-Object {$timediff = New-Timespan -Start (Get-Date) -End $_.PasswordExpiry; Send-SES2Email -FromEmailAddress "sergey.gankin@veolia.com" -Destination_ToAddress $_.mail -Text_Data "Hello $($_.Name), your password will expire in $($timediff.Days) days!" -Subject_Data "Password Expiring"}

The script itself runs successfully, the Lambda gets created and successfully hosted in a VPC, but when attempting to execute the Lambda, it throws the following error:

{
  "errorType": "CmdletInvocationException",
  "errorMessage": "A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Culture'.",

      "at System.Management.Automation.PSScriptCmdlet.DoEndProcessing()",
      "at System.Management.Automation.CommandProcessorBase.Complete()"
    ]
  }
}

I've tired creating the Lambda with Powershell 7 and Powershell 6, but getting the same error, although the ActiveDirectory module appears to import just fine. I've also tried requiring AWSPowerShell.NetCore and AWS.Tools.Common (separately, because together, they generate a "module by this name was already loaded" error), but that made no difference, and requiring Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility, or Microsoft.PowerShell.Management makes the package too large.  Please help!

Answer

As per the documentation[1], CmdletInvocationException(), Indicates that a cmdlet hit a terminating error.

From the error it seems like a parameter is not present which is giving out the error. Kindly print the event received by the handler code and verify if the parameter Culture is expected to be present in the event. If it is present, kindly, check how the code is trying to access the parameter. Please ensure that the code is searching for the parameter at the correct level in the event JSON.
