I'm trying to connect both ExcahangeOnline and IPPSession so that I can use both in my script but some reason it remove the other from connection after one got connected. Any idea?

Connect-IPPSSession -Credential $credential -ErrorAction Stop | Out-Null
    Connect-ExchangeOnline -Credential $credential

Here are limitations about Exchange online and Security & Compliance PowerShell sessions:

Have you tried to connect them from PowerShell rather than script directly?

I connect to the Exchange online first, then connect to the Security & Compliance. Both sessions exist:

I could run both Exchange online and Security & Compliance commands:

The "Get-Mailbox" command contained in Exchange online rather than Security & Compliance.

The "Get-ComplianceSearchAction" command contained in the Security & Compliance rather than Exchange online.

I tried to connect Security & Compliance first, then Exchange online. It also works.

You can also try to connect to them with different accounts, such as using admin A to connect to Exchange online, then using admin B to connect to "Security & Compliance". If you still cannot connect from PowerShell in this way. I would suggest you confirm with Windows Server side, check whether there exists any configuration to limit your client only create one session.
