The newer module, AzureAD, is to replace MSOL as Microsoft shifts towards an open system where PowerShell can be used cross platform.

The Azure AD modules allow you to administer users, groups, roles, and licenses. This allows you to perform administrative tasks from your local computer. When I started learning Office 365 administration, one of the first things I learned was how to connect to Office 365 with PowerShell. Join me as I post about the things I learn and how to implement them for your own use. Joanne has graciously offered to mentor me and has invited me to post blogs on her site as I start my adventures in the Microsoft Cloud.

Like many, I have been branching out into the Microsoft Cloud over the past 4 years and have been learning as much as I can as I go along. Sheldon: Hello, my name is Sheldon Appleyard and I’m an IT Pro who has worked in the IT industry for 10 years.

Connecting to Office 365 with PowerShell is something we all need to do from time-to-time so it seemed like a great fit! I’ve invited Sheldon to be a guest blogger at and encouraged him to write content and share knowledge about practical things he’s learned for an audience just starting out in Office 365. Joanne: This guest post is written by my mentee, Sheldon Appleyard (bio below).
