 Install required software

 

These steps are required once on your computer, not every time you connect. However, you’ll likely need to install newer versions of the software periodically.

1. Install the 64-bit version of the Microsoft Online Services Sign-in Assistant: Microsoft Online Services Sign-in Assistant for IT Professionals RTW.
   
2. Install the 64-bit version of the Windows Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell: Windows Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell (64-bit version).
   

 

 

Step 2: Open the Windows Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell

• Find and open the Windows Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell by using one of the following methods based on your version of Windows:
  
  • Start menu   On the Start menu, enter Azure in the Search programs and files box.
    
  • No Start menu   Search for Azure using any of these methods:
    
    • On the Start screen, click an empty area, and type Azure.
      
    • On the desktop or the Start screen, press the Windows key+Q. In the Search charm, type Azure.
      
    • On the desktop or the Start screen, move your cursor to the upper-right corner, or swipe left from the right edge of the screen to show the charms. Select the Search charm, and enter Azure.
      
• In the results, select Windows Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell.
  

 

Step 3: Connect to Office 365 PowerShell

1. In the Windows Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell, run the following command.
   

   $UserCredential = Get-Credential
   

Note:
make sure the credentials are username@Domain.com

1. 
   

   In the Windows PowerShell Credential Request dialog box, type your Office 365 work or school account user name and password, and then click OK.
   

2. Run the following command.
   

   Connect-MsolService -Credential $UserCredential
   

   
   

How do you know this worked?

After Step 3, if you don’t receive any errors, you connected successfully. A quick test is to run an Office 365 cmdlet—for example, Get-MsolUser—and see the results.
