@Rising Flight I wanted to follow up and know if the below responses helped in answering your query. If it did, please do not forget to accept the appropriate response as Answer so that others in the community facing similar issues can easily find the solution.
The syntax is OK. You can use the exact same cmdlet/syntax for Exchange Online, apart from the OU parameter, so just remove it.
