Quick Tip - Opening An Exchange Online Protection Shell
There’s lots of big, exciting, non-blogable things happening at work this week so here’s a very quick tip.
Last week I wrote a post on a PowerShell function I threw in my profile to connect quickly to Exchange. That’s great, but what if you also want to manage Exchange Online Protection (EOP) from a PoweShell console? Well it turns out to be pretty easy.
$cred = Get-Credential
$s = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
import-pssession $s
This looks a lot like the function I showed you last week except it’s connecting to Office 365 and you need to use your Live ID instead of AD credentials.
