Microsoft 365 POWERSHELL : Resolving error -Connect-SPOService : One or more errors occurred.

Hi All,

Greetings for the day!!!

Today new issue and resolution.

Background

• We want to connect to get the details of one site using “Get-SPOSite” CMDLET.
• So we are connecting to Microsoft 365 using “Connect-SPOService” CMDLET

$cred = Get-Credential
Connect-SPOService -Url https://knowledgejunction1-admin.sharepoint.com -Credential $cred

• While executing the “Connect-SPOService” we are getting an error.

Error / Issue

Connect-SPOService : One or more errors occurred.
At line:1 char:1

• Connect-SPOService -Url https://knowledgejunction1-admin.sharepoint.c …
• ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  • CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Connect-SPOService], AggregateException
  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.AggregateException,Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell.ConnectSPOService

Details

• By default, the Connect-SPOService cmdlet uses the legacy authentication.
• To resolve this issue, use the ModernAuth parameter included in SharePoint Online Management Shell version 16.0.22601.12000 and later versions.
• This parameter must be used together with the AuthenticationUrl parameter.
• So actual CMDLET should be like

Connect-SPOService -Credential $creds -Url https://knowledgejunction1-admin.sharepoint.com -ModernAuth $true -AuthenticationUrl https://login.microsoftonline.com/organizations

• As I execute this/above CMDLET, I am successfully connected to Microsoft 365.
