Microsoft has released Exchange Online PowerShell V3 module. This is today’s #MicrosoftCloudQuickFix !
It is recommended to now use the Exchange Online PowerShell V3 module. Exchange Online cmdlets backed by the REST API are available in Exchange Online PowerShell V3. REST API cmdlets have the following advantages:
- More secure: REST API cmdlets have built-in support for modern authentication and don’t rely on the remote PowerShell session, so PowerShell on your client computer doesn’t need Basic authentication in WinRM for Exchange Online PowerShell.
- More reliable: REST API cmdlets handle transient failures with built-in retries, so failures or delays are minimized. For example:
- Failures due to network delays.
- Delays due to large queries that take a long time to complete.
- Better performance: The connection avoids setting up a PowerShell runspace in Exchange Online PowerShell.
For installation and connection instructions, see Exchange Online Management 3.0.0 and Connect to Exchange Online PowerShell.
