How to run Exchage PowerShell - Exchange Online

Brass Contributor

Simple question I am working at a company that uses Exchange online ( they call it Cloud Based - O365 which is the same thing I think).

 

I am logged into https://admin.exchange.microsoft.com/

 

But not sure where to run Exchange PowerShell form any ideas?

I can see Azure Cloud Shell but I don't want to use that as we don't have a storage mounted.

Follow the following Module to download and install ExchangeOnlineManagement
https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/ExchangeOnlineManagement/2.0.5

then use the cmdlet connect-exchangeonline

  • Start the Windows PowerShell console with "Run as administrator" privilege.
  • Run the following command to install the Exchange Online Management powershell module. This is one time work.

 

Install-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement

 

 

Connect-ExchangeOnline

 

  • Now, you can run the required Exchange commands to work with your Exchange service. 

 

Get-Mailbox # List mailboxes

Get-EXOMailbox # List mailboxes using V2 module script. Provide faster output.

Are you asking for Exchange Online (Microsoft 365) Test environment ?. If so, follow the below steps.

 

  • Go to the Customer Digital Experiences (CDX) site.
  • Navigate to My Environments.
  • Under My Tenants, on the right-side, click Create Tenant button.
  • Choose the required Tenant type, location, content type and proceed to create a new demo or trial tenant.
