powershell install module exchange online

When I tried to access the Exchange Online service by using “Connect-ExchangeOnline” from my risual tablet it would refuse to connect nor download the Exchange cmdlets. Many businesses will disable the Basic Auth function within WinRM, as it is considered a security risk. Version 3 of ExchangeOnlineManagement has just been released to General Availability, and it allows remote access to Exchange Online without Basic Auth.

Version 2 of ExchangeOnlineManagement was the next version, which brought in MFA and Modern Authentication.

Version 1 of ExchangeOnlineManagement was the original version that used remote access to Exchange Online.

The list below shows the iterations of the module and how they came to be. To use the Exchange Online module, you use “Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement” to install it. If you’re used to using the Exchange Management Shell, you will know who to use the cmdlets. In fact, the last export I did using the GUI only had 28% of the mailboxes. You might ask why not use the GUI exports, but they tend to miss some data. As part of any health checks, I tend to use PowerShell (and specifically the Exchange Online module) to export the information to either XML or CSV files. My latest project for Exchange Online was a health check, prior to risual taking on a managed service contract for them. And we have been speaking to clients about the deprecation of Basic Authentication in Exchange Online. I recently posted about the removal of Exchange 2007 from the AD when the Global Catalog cannot find it.

It’s been a busy month for Exchange projects.
