Greetings,&nbsp;We need to know a little more details, such as the error you are getting, what command you have tried, etc. &nbsp;There is a little setup required such as installing WIndows Framework 4.0 or 5.0, installing the Microsoft Sign-on assistant, etc. &nbsp;Here are some references to what you need to do:&nbsp;https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj984289(v=exchg.160).aspxhttps://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/28793-managing-office-365-using-powershellhttps://support.office.com/en-us/article/Managing-Office-365-and-Exchange-Online-with-Windows-PowerShell-06a743bb-ceb6-49a9-a61d-db4ffdf54fa6

Hi,&nbsp;You can try this code, it works for me :&nbsp;&nbsp;Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
$UserCredential = Get-Credential
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $Session
