Moving `System.ServiceModel.*` packages to 6.0.0 and above will prevent the `ActiveDirectory` module from being loaded in PowerShell

Prerequisites

Steps to reproduce

After installing the latest PowerShell Daily build (daily20230225.2) I am unable to import the ActiveDirectory module

Import-Module ActiveDirectory

[Update by @daxian-dbw] See the investigation and the conclusion at #19238 (comment) and #19238 (comment)

Expected behavior

Module should import with no error.

Actual behavior

Import-Module: Attempting to perform the InitializeDefaultDrives operation on the 'ActiveDirectory' provider failed.

Error details

Import-Module: Attempting to perform the InitializeDefaultDrives operation on the 'ActiveDirectory' provider failed.
