I m writing a powershall script where it need to be connected to CRM online.
I can connect to CRM using Connect-CrmOnline where it ask for credentials using login box. I want to automate it. Please guide how to do it ?
is there a way to connect using connection string ? please share sample code/ script i m new to powershell.
I m using Microsfot.Xrm.Data.PowerShell
thank you.
You can also use the below if you have MFA enabled or the best way is to register an app and use the client secret to connect via OAuth
$cred = Get-Credential
$serverhost ="xxxxxxxx.dynamics.com"
$conn = Connect-CrmOnline -Credential $cred -ServerUrl $serverhost -ForceOAuth
I currently have this ps script
$user = "user@domain.com"
$passwordConverted = ConvertTo-SecureString "password" -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($user, $passwordConverted)
$serverhost = "yourcustomername.crm.dynamics.com"
$connection = Connect-CrmOnline -Credential $cred -ServerUrl $serverhost
Write-Host "Connection info $connection"
$connection | Get-Member
I hope it will be useful for you!
For online these links suggest $Cred variable, it only works if user has already loged in. For running a script it will not work becasue it uses a UI to login and i m looking to automate.
