    This is quite an old module command used to connect to Azure AD (Microsoft tenant) so you would need a work or school account authorised for that tenant. You can't connect using a personal account like @Microsoft Corporation .com or @harsh.com .com.

    Try using the below command instead: 

    Connect-AzureAD

    Hey @ARAVIND S V ,

    can you please paste the exact error message here, so that we give you a more accurate advice?
    You should actually use another cmddlet as "connect-msolservice" opnly allows the usage of work or school accounts.
    Can you please also verify what role your account is member of?

    Thanks in advance!
