Hi All,
Quite a newbie to PowerShell, so would appreciate some assistance with an existing script that I've been asked to changed to Modern Authentication.
I can see the line that I believe needs to be amended as the following:
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $Credential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
I've looked up some sites and pages (including the ones offered as I type this message). But as someone quite new to PowerShell, I don't know if they apply as the commands are somewhat different.
Happy to elaborate further, but please bare in mind my newness to the system. Thanks.
As your issue is not related to OOS, I will modify the tag.
Hi ,
Do you mean you need to connect to Exchange Online PowerShell with modern authentication?
If so, you could refer to this link to run ”Connect-ExchangeOnline” command to connect .
In addition ,please make sure Windows PowerShell has EXO V2 module installed .

I have the ExchangeOnlineManagement module installed (V2.0.5) already.
I can run the commands manually, but I need them to run as apart of an automated script, which runs overnight, so this needs to be a non-interactive authentication.
I have read some options of using certificates and thumbnails, as MFA would obviously not be possible with non-interactive runs of this powershell script. The link you've provided also talks about using MFA and using the Get-Credentials command as a variable. I've looked at this page before, but as it's an unattended script, I can't follow the commands.
Thanks.
Hi,

Have you viewed the documentation of App-only authentication that Andy provide？

I ended up using the following, which is a lot simpler than I expected it to be:
Connect-ExchangeOnline -Credential $Credential
It used the encrypted stored key and the username of the service account and has been running fine.
Thanks for the assistance.
Chris,
Here is what you posted above.
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $Credential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
What did you remove and where did you type in the Connect-ExchangeOnline.... I am having the same issue and want to make sure I do this correct before I make the change.
Use App-only authentication:
