Hi all,

I'm trying to connect my CRM on-premise with Exchange Online following this link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customerengagement/on-premises/deploy/connect-dynamics-365-on-premises-exchange-online. At step 1 in Configure server-based authentication, it asks me to start Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell. How can I check if it started or not? If not, how can I start it?

Hello Chinh,

Thanks for reaching Dynamics community. For starting the Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell, you will have to basically install these PowerShell modules and force import them using PS on the local server as ::

Please note that the commands would require PS module version 5, which can be checked using the command ::

$psversiontable.psversion

If it is not, you can download Windows Management Framework 5.1, which includes Windows PowerShell 5.1, from the Microsoft Download Center.

Post the above action, you may comfortably proceed to start the Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell and PowerShell module for Microsoft Dynamics as ::

Enable-PSRemoting -force
New-PSSession

Install-Module MSOnline (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/active-directory/install-msonlinev1?view=azureadps-1.0#install-the-azure-ad-module)

Install-Module MSOnlineExt
Import-Module MSOnline -force
Import-Module MSOnlineExt -force

Please mark my comment as answered if this helps.

Thanks,

Saurabh

I am having also this issue. How do I use a PowerShell script built using the Windows Active Directory module as an Active Roles Server Script Module? I am trying this I am getting an error that "GEt-ADGroupMember" is not recognized. I think this is because it does not recognize the cmdlet without the ActiveDirectory module.
