  • Artikel

We all know the importance and power of Powershell and scripts :)

In Office 365 we have luxury of 2 powershells that are available to manage Users and domain 

1. To manage domain and Portal related information called MOP (Microsoft Online Portal)
2. To manage Users, mailboxes or in other words your Exchange Online

Below I have shared the ways to connect to these 2 Poweshells
 

 

 

To connect to MOP

1. Install the Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant

Choose 32 or 64 bit from the below link

                                          $Cred = Get-Credential

3. In the Windows PowerShell Credential window, type the credentials of an account in your cloud organization. When you are finished, click OK.

          $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $Cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
