How to login to Exchange Online Powershell

October 21, 2018 at 11:51 am Leave a comment

In most of the cases you may need to login O365 via PowerShell to manage the environments , Then  you could use the below cmdlets to initiate the sessions.

+  Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

+ $UserCredential = Get-Credential

+ $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection

+ Import-PSSession $Session -DisableNameChecking

+ Remove-PSSession $Session ( Need to run this to avoid the waiting time as Microsoft has a limit on the session)

That’s it now , you could start using the Powershell cmd’s. Please refer the below MS KB Article for the explanation of these commands, and prerequisites.

In some cases when you try to run Import-Module MSOnline you will be see an error message no cmdlets found. In order to solve this issue you need to install Windows Management Framework 5.1. Once you install this update need to restart the computer. Thereafter you could use the below commands to Manage your environment.

+ $UserCredential = Get-Credential
+ Import-Module MSOnline
+ Connect-MsolService -Credential $UserCredential

+To Disable the Sync

Set-MsolDirSyncEnabled -EnableDirSync $false

+To view the Current status

(Get-MsolCompanyInformation).DirectorySynchronizationEnabled

+ To force a manual Sync after a Change in On-Prem Object.

Import-Module ADSync
Get-ADSyncScheduler
Start-ADSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta
