How to Connect to Exchange Online via PowerShell - Install the Exchange Online Management v2 Module

To manage Exchange Online via PowerShell, the preferred method should be using the new Exchange Online Management v2 module from the PowerShell Gallery. These new EXO cmdlets are being updated frequently with new features, options, and support for additional authentication methods.

In this video you will install ExchangeOnlineManagement via the PSGallery and test your connectivity via PowerShell. The only prerequisites to this are Windows PowerShell 5.1, as the PowerShell Core (7+) version is presently under development.

Prerequisites include:
Windows PowerShell 5.1
RemotePowerShellEnabled $true - On your MSonline User Account (Exchange Admin)

Appreciate the short, to the point, helpful video with zero annoying background music. It’s a lot easier to understand than reading some lengthy blog articles about EXO v2.

You saved me a ton of time, some sanity and fewer gray hairs. Parsing through blogs and MS documents was driving me nuts. Then you come through with a 2 minute video and explain it all like a boss! You definitely got a sub from me!
