Answer 1

HI
While trying getting below error, kindly gudie
winrm set winrm/config/client/auth '@{Basic="true"}'
Error number: -2144108526 0x80338012
The client cannot connect to the destination specified in the request. Verify that the service on the destination is running and is accepting requests. Consult the logs and documentation for the WS-Management service running on the destination, most commonly IIS or WinRM. If the destination is the WinRM service, run the following command on the destination to analyze and configure the WinRM service: "winrm quickconfig".

Answer 2

The linked article is outdated. Most likely your tenant has Basic Authentication disabled by now.
Try the latest version of Exchange Online PowerShell module, and use connect-exchangeonline cmdlet to start a session with modern auth.

If you still want to try following the blog post to the letter, running the following command from a elevated powershell console should set the needed option:

winrm set winrm/config/client/auth '@{Basic="true"}'
