PowerShell Core – Connecting to O365 Exchange Online

Now that we have PowerShell running on Windows 10… let’s see if we can get use it to get access to O365 Exchange Online.

 

First you need to load the MSOnline Windows PowerShell  Modules in PowerShell Core.

This is done using these 3 Lines :

Install-Module WindowsPSModulePath -Force -Scope CurrentUser 
 
Add-WindowsPSModulePath

Import-Module MsOnline

 

If you don’t use the first 2 lines you will get an error. Because PS Core doesn’t have the MSOline Module available.

So we grab it from the Windows PowerShell.

 

let’s set the credentials

$UserCredential = Get-Credential

Next create the remote session to load the module

 

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

Import-PSSession $Session

 

Test it using some commands

Get-User
