Connect-AipService is failing

Question

I need to do Enable-AipService via PowerShell as it is not possible through any of the GUI:s. I get an error on command Connect-AipService before even login prompt comes up.

Error: Connect-AipService : The attempt to connect to the Azure Information Protection service failed. Verify that the credentials you are using are correct and try again. If you have continued problems, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=251909. I have even tried disabling Firewall and also tried on multiple PC:s and from multiple networks. Help please!

Hi @JoeLAP , try following these steps to hopefully recalibrate this and see if it fixes the issue:

1. Open PowerShell as an administrator. Install the Azure Information Protection client by running the following command:

Install-Module -Name AzureInformationProtection

After the installation is complete, run the following command to connect to the Azure Information Protection service:

Connect-AipService

This command will prompt you to enter your Azure Information Protection credentials. Please enter your credentials and try again.

If you have already followed these steps and are still facing issues, please ensure that you have the latest version of the Azure Information Protection client installed. If this doesn't work please send me an email at "azcommunity@microsoft.com" with subject "ATTN: James Hamil" and your subscription ID.I can open a free support ticket for you.
