Error when using Connect-MsolService username and password

Question

Why I get this error when trying to use this command Connect-MsolService

Connect-MsolService : The user name or password is incorrect. Verify your user name, and then type your password again. At line:1 char:1 + Connect-MsolService + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : OperationStopped: (:) [Connect-MsolService], MicrosoftOnlineException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : 0x80048821,Microsoft.Online.Administration.Automation.ConnectMsolService

The user that I am trying to login with is a global admin.

I got this also when I tried a user tied to a Microsoft Account. If you use something like '[email protected]', you should be able to get connected. — Quark Soup

Did you add your credential object to the cmdlet, because it does not do native passthrough if your currently logged in user.

For example Connect-MSOLOnline -Credential (Get-credential)

I did not understand what you mean and I still get the same error with the code you provided.

Follow these instructions technet.microsoft.com/library/dn975125.aspx Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules and delete MSOnlineExtended (Duplicate Commands) Source: blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/besidethepoint/2012/10/23/… Connect to MSOL $cred = Get-Credential #Credential must be email address and AD password Connect-MsolService -Credential $cred
