Hi Everyone this is Prem, I have worked as Microsoft 365 support ambassador. In this blog I will share how to connect with Exchange online using PowerShell in Office 365.
Steps to connect to Exchange online using PowerShell:
Search for windows PowerShell on your computer and run it as an administrator:
Once opened it should look like this:
Now connect to Exchange online using the PowerShell which is opened, to connect to exchange online run the following command:
Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement
Allow permission to install if asked. After that run:
Import-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement
If you get error that running script is disabled or other error when running the first Install command then run the following command and after this run the above Install and Import commands again:
Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -scope currentuser
Allow it to set the execution policy if prompted by entering A or Y.
Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement
Import-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement
After that run:
Connect-ExchangeOnline
Enter your Global or Exchange Admin email address and password and it should get connected to Exchange Online on the PowerShell:
If you have Multifactor Authentication enabled on the account then you will have to complete the second steps of Authentication (Text, Call, Authenticator app, etc.) as well and after it is completed you should be connected to Exchange Online using PowerShell.
By following the above steps you should be able to connect to exchange online using PowerShell.
