Prerequisites

WMI access to the target server

See also Connect to Exchange Online Using Remote PowerShell (© 2020, Microsoft Corp, available at https://docs.microsoft.com/, obtained on February 3, 2020)

Run the PowerShell script mentioned in the Microsoft article on the Orion server, not the target node.

Credentials

• An Orion account with SAM administrator permissions.
• An all-in-one, inclusive Office 365 account with Global Administrator privileges to support the monitoring of all mailboxes.
  

  Alternatively, use an account with an admin role that has permission to access data to be monitored via the Office 365 API.

Use UPN format (username@domain) — not domain\username format to enter credentials.

To avoid authentication issues if passwords change, use a service account for Exchange Web Services.
