Exchange 2016 Install - Hybrid Deployment Check - The username or password is invalid

[SaintsDT]

Hi,

We have exchange 2010 with Exchange Online in hybrid mode.  We are trying to install Exchange 2016 CU18 on a new server, on the setup we are getting prompted to enter a user name and password to connect to Office365:

Problem is it keeps coming back invalid username or password.  The account is right and permissions fine.  Network have confirm nothing is getting blocked, local firewall is off. 

This is from the ExchangeSetup.log:

Anyone got any ideas on what to do next?

Hello @SaintsDT,

From the looks of it, it appears that the setup is trying to connect to office 365 via powershell, I am not sure if the setup supports MFA, so check if your account is MFA enabled, try creating an app password and see if that works. Also from the new server try to connect to exchange online via powershell, Also, try to use a .onmicrosoft account. 

Thanks
