A parameter cannot be found - ExternalInOutlook Powershell
I am trying to enable the ExternalInOutlook feature via Powershell for one of our client's tenant, but I am getting the following error when I run
Set-ExternalInOutlook -Enabled $true
A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Enabled'
I've already made sure the module is installed/updated. After months of dealing with Microsoft support, they were unable to help me. I can successfully run the "Get-ExternalInOutlook" command and get the current status, which shows "false" but for whatever reason it won't let me set it to "true" with the Set command. It seems clear that the issue lies with the tenant itself because this command works just fine on another client tenant.
Any ideas?
adailey Do you have enough permissions? The Set-ExternalInOutlook cmdlet requires one of these roles:
Get-ManagementRole -Cmdlet Set-ExternalInOutlook
Name RoleType
---- --------
O365SupportViewConfig O365SupportViewConfig
Organization Configuration OrganizationConfiguration
View-Only Configuration ViewOnlyConfigurationThe Enabled parameter requires Organization Configuration:
Get-ManagementRole -Cmdlet Set-ExternalInOutlook -CmdletParameters Enabled
Name RoleType
---- --------
Organization Configuration OrganizationConfiguration

That is strange since it should be there by default. After adding it, I am now able to run the command successfully. Thank you!
adailey I did run into that myself in the past, too. Strange... Glad to hear that it works!
