Connect-ExchangeOnline doesn't work on server 2012

Stephen 26

Trying to run Connect-ExchangeOnline on an Exchange server 2012 and received the following error message...

It is an Exchange server running Windows Server 2012 Standard with Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 installed.

Firewall is not being blocked. Firewall is disabled on the server.
I was able to connect to Exchange Online from other machines in the same network (So I know the firewall is not being blocked)

New-ExoPSSession : An error occurred while sending the request..
At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\ExchangeOnlineManagement\2.0.3\Ex
changeOnlineManagement.psm1:426 char:30

... PSSession = New-ExoPSSession -ExchangeEnvironmentName $ExchangeEnviro ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [New-ExoPSSession], Exception
FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Exception,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.E
xoPowershellSnapin.NewExoPSSession

Thank you,
Stephen

We have ExchangeOnlineManagement 2.0.3 installed.

And I tried using ExchangeOnlineManagement 2.0.5, but I still received the same error message.

Thanks,
