    Hello Vinod,

    If your domain administrator hasn't forbidden it, you can do this:

    Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope CurrentUser

    If you instead want to change the execution policy for just the current PowerShell session, you can use this command:

    Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process

    However, if your domain administrator is using the "Turn on Script Execution" group policy, you will not be able to change your execution policy at all. The group policy setting makes the Set-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet ineffective.

    Hello Vinod,

    Unfortunately it seems that the issue here is not with Script execution but also with the Basic Authentication settings on your tenant. Basic Authentication seems to be disabled from what is written in the output.

    Not an expert in O365 or scripting to cloud services but I would suggest to check the tenant policies about Basic Authentication, and check by enabling 1 by 1 which is the one that is blocking the execution.

    Hope that helps.
