Connect to Microsoft 365 using PowerShell

Once you have set up your PowerShell environment the next thing is to use it to connect to Microsoft 365 services like Exchange Online and Teams.

I have created several free automation scripts at:

https://github.com/directorcia

to make that process easy.

In this video, I’ll walk you through the steps of using what I have created to make it simple to connect to any Microsoft 365 service using PowerShell quickly and easily.

Updating PowerShell for use with Microsoft 365

Keeping all your PowerShell modules up to date for Microsoft 365 is easy using the process in this video along with the free script I provide here:

https://github.com/directorcia/Office365/blob/master/o365-update.ps1

Simply use the script, with elevated privileges, and you can automatically update all the modules. If you then save the script locally, you can use an option to prompt you for each update if you wish.

Setting up PowerShell for use with Microsoft 365

This video will show you the process of setting up PowerShell on a new clean Windows 10 environment to support working with Microsoft 365. Basically, you grab my free set up script here –

https://github.com/directorcia/Office365/blob/master/o365-setup.ps1

and paste that into an elevated PowerShell window and run it. The required PowerShell cloud modules will then be installed into your environment, making it ready to connect to Microsoft 365, Azure, Intune, etc.

How to remove a Win32 application using Intune

This video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xilp56PVltI

will show you the steps to remove an Win32app from a Windows 10 desktop. It will utilise an existing Intune Application deployment policy to achieve this. It is able to do so because part of creating the initial deployment policy was the requirement to specify how to uninstall that same application. Thus, when you create an Application deployment policy in Intune you can use to add and remove that application from your environment.
