Issue with conneting to ExchangeOnline using PowerShell

Question

Hello!

Today morning I experience an issue with connecting ExchangeOnline using ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module (I'm using 2.0.6-Preview6 version) from AzureFunction.
For more than 20 minutes (6.45-7:05 UTC) I was getting ERROR: Your attempt to connect to this Exchange server was denied because your account isn't enabled for Remote PowerShell. Your Exchange administrator can use the Set-User -RemotePowerShellEnabled command to enable your account. errors. The problem occurred on tenant located in EU and also on other one located in US.

It looks like a transient issue because later everything returned to normal without any intervention from my side.

Am I wondering if I can check anywhere if any maintenance was done during that time and where can I check it?

EU

US

Check the Service Health Dashbord for your tenant:

There was an issue that has since been resolved that may be related:
