Connecting to Office 365 Powershell through RDP Manager

Hello,

You can use the $USERNAME$ and the $PASSWORD$ variables in your RDM PowerShell entry to pass the credential information from RDM to O365. Please note that for the password, you will need to allow the usage of that variable in the entry and in the linked credential (if you use one). For more information, you can refer to https://kb.devolutions.net/unable_use_$password$_variable.html

For a full list, you can click on the "Variables" button in the bottom left corner of any entry:



Best regards,

Hi Richard,

Thanks, this is the script I'm running: -

$LiveCred = Get-Credential
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $LiveCred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $SessionConnect-MsolService -Credential $LiveCred

I then get the pop out window asking for credentials, where in this would I put the variables so they are passed through automatically?

Hello,

Instead of using the Get-Credential, you would place the credential in RDM, either directely (custom) or in a linked credential.

The first 2 line of you script would change to convert the password to a securestring and create a credential entry:

$password = ConvertTo-SecureString $PASSWORD$ -AsPlainText -Force 
$Cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($USERNAME$, $password)

$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $Cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $SessionConnect-MsolService -Credential $Cred

Best regards,

Hi Richard,

Thanks, I've tried both ways as mentioned above but it seems to error.

Hello,

If you simply display the $USERNAME$ and the $PASSWORD$ variable in the script, do they both return the correct information?

If so, it would indicate the cmdlets you are using to connect to the O365 are the culprit.
