How to connect to Office 365 from powershell

Publicat la 15 October 2013 Scrie si tu o vorbulita (0) Comentarii

MS Outlook & Exchange sucks but that's what my company supports. I am not going to discuss why I need it this... it will end up in an unnecessary flame.

Required software:

Download and install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=25150
Download and install Microsoft Sign In Assistant: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39267
Download and install Windows Azure AD Module for Windows PowerShell: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj151815.aspx#BKMK_Requirements

Connect to the 365 system with:

[codesyntax lang="powershell"]

Import-Module MSOnline
$O365Cred = Get-Credential
$O365Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell -Credential $O365Cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $O365Session -AllowClobber
Connect-MsolService -Credential $O365Cred

[/codesyntax]

Note: if you have Windows 10 (please start powershell as Administrator, otherwise it won't work), then you will have to use this code:

[codesyntax lang="powershell"]

$O365Cred = Get-Credential
$O365Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell -Credential $O365Cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $O365Session -AllowClobber

[/codesyntax]
