Exception of type 'Microsoft.Online.Administration.Automation.MicrosoftOnlineException' was thrown

Question

I'm using code on http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/office365/Office-365-Manage-users-by-cfc96d5e to connect to Office 365 via a test c# web application which basically connects to azure active directory and tries to execute couple of powershell cmdlets.

I'm getting this exception on the Pipeline.Invoke method on the Connect-MsolService cmdlet in my web app:

Exception of type 'Microsoft.Online.Administration.Automation.MicrosoftOnlineException' was thrown.

So far:

• Followed instructions on this KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2494043
• Installed/enabled the required software (NET Framework 3.5, Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant (64 bit), Microsoft Online Services Module for Windows PowerShell (64 bit))
• set-executionpolicy remotesigned
• using non-federated primary admin account in office cloud to connect remote powershell
• Using a Windows 2008 R2 64 bit machine.
• Targeting 64 bit processor in VS, and .NET framework 4.0
• IIS apppool for this web application is set to use .NET framework 4.0

I can successfully execute connect-msolservice and run cmdlets using the Microsoft Online Services Module for Windows PowerShell on the same machine, using same account.

What else can I try?

Answer 1

Change IIS App Pool setting Load User Profile to True
