Hi Everyone this is Prem, I have worked as M365 Support Ambassador. In this blog I will share How to fix The term ‘Set-Mailbox’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet Error when running command in powershell.
Error can occurs when you try to run an Exchange Online command in PowerShell without first connecting it to Exchange Online.
In order to fix this error we should first connect the PowerShell to exchange online and then run the needed command.
Steps to fix The term ‘Set-Mailbox’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet Error:
Search for Windows PowerShell on the computer and then run it as an administrator:
It should look like this if its open with the Admin rights:
Now to connect to Exchange online using the PowerShell window opened with the steps above, run the commands one by one:
Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement
Allow permissions to install by typing A and hit Enter, After it installs successfully then run:
Import-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement
If the import command gives error that running script is disabled or other error when running the first Install command, then run the below command and after that run the above Install and Import commands again:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Remotesigned -scope currentuser
Allow it to set the execution policy if prompted by entering either A or Y.
Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement
Import-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement
Once the above commands complete without any error then run the command to connect to Exchange Online:
Connect-ExchangeOnline
Enter your Global Admin or Exchange Admin email address & password when prompted and it should get connected to Exchange Online on the PowerShell:
Once it is connected you can then run the command which you were trying before, and it should be able to execute without any error.
If you have any question please mention that in the comments.
