Preparation for Exchange Online

Note

Implemented in Connector Pack 4.3

Preparation steps for targeting Exchange Online:

  • Install Microsoft Windows PowerShell

    To Install the native PowerShell you will need to install the latest Package Manager and the latest version of PowerShellGet. To do this, close all PowerShell Windows and from an elevated PowerShell session, run the following command:

    [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol =
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -Force
Install-Module -Name PowerShellGet -Force -AllowClobber

  • Install Exchange Online PowerShell V2 Module (abbreviated as the EXO V2 module)

    You can use the following command to install the EXO V2 module in PowerShell:

    Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement -RequiredVersion 2.0.6-Preview6 -AllowPrerelease

    For more details regarding installing the EXO V2 module and troubleshooting possible issues may encounter during installing the package, see:

  • Configure a target system administrator

    Configure a target admin account with access to Exchange online and grant the administrator the permissions you require in Azure Active Directory to manage Exchange users, mailboxes and groups. The administrator account requires the minimum of "access to exchange online" enabled.

    More detailed permissions of Exchange online can be found at: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/permissions-exo/feature-permissions

  • For Bravura Identity implementations, creating at least one template account
