Import Microsoft Exchange Online PowerShell Module

Question

Previously, I used to connect PowerShell to Windows Azure Active Directory and Exchange Online using the following BAT file:

@echo off 
Powershell -noexit -Command "& {
    $Credentials = Get-Credential;
    $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -Authentication Basic -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell -AllowRedirection:$true -Credential $Credentials;
    Import-PSSession $Session;
    Import-Module MSOnline;
    Connect-MsolService -Credential $Credentials;
}"

Answer 1

I was looking to do the same thing, and I came across this link . Simply running these two commands within a normal PowerShell window allowed me to connect to Exchange Online (with MFA-enabled):

$CreateEXOPSSession = (Get-ChildItem -Path $env:userprofile -Filter CreateExoPSSession.ps1 -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Force | Select -Last 1).DirectoryName

. "$CreateEXOPSSession\CreateExoPSSession.ps1"

I could then connect using

Connect-EXOPSSession

Answer 2

Instead of importing Exchange Online PowerShell module, you can use Exchange Online PowerShell V2 module.

Currently, I am using EXO V2 module. You can directly install the module from PowerShell gallery.

    Install-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement

You can connect to Exchange Online PowerShell using below cmdlet.

    Connect-ExchangeOnline

I solved this by the following;

From your step 7: I did not copy the files at all. I left them where they were. There is no reason why they would not work after copy but I rebuild this machine quite often so wanted to reduce steps.

My Step 8: In the ISE (in my case the directory name is as follows)
cd C:\\Users\\%username%\\AppData\\Local\\Apps\\2.0\\V7MK47Q8.0NZ\\KLJLETPC.4RJ\\micr..tion_d8f8f667ee342b5c_0010.0000_6b4a13fd451b1c00 Import-Module .\\CreateExoPSSession.ps1 Connect-EXOPSSession -UserPrincipalName name@domain.com

Now, there is no reason why this should work as it is not a proper module but it does and has been for a while now.

I can not post a picture as I have no rep but suffice to say when you use "connect-", the first two in the list are AzureAD and EXOPSSession.
