Following the change to be made by microsoft in October where all users must have active MFA, I am reviewing the scripts I have to connect against Azure and Exchange and I would like to know if you can help me find the best way to carry out this connection, and assign the necessary roles to make changes at the level of Exchange and Entra ID.

Thank you all for your time

Microsoft Entra ID
Microsoft Entra ID

    Hi,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A platform!

    Based on your description, when you connect to Exchange Online PowerShell with multi-factor authentication (MFA), you can use Connect-ExchangeOnline cmdlets, for example:

    Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName admin@contoso.onmicrosoft.com

    More information you can refer to:Connect to Exchange Online PowerShell

    And you can connect to Azure AD using this Command:

    Connect-AzureAD

    And I want to confirm with you what role assignment you are referring to? Are you looking for this Add-RoleGroupMember? Please point out for any misunderstanding!

    Please feel free to contact me for any updates. And if this helps, don't forget to mark it as an answer!
