How to login to Exchange Online Powershell
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.
