You may receive the following error message when trying to connect to Exchange Online with PowerShell:
PS C:\> Connect-MgGraph
Connect-MgGraph : The term 'Connect-MgGraph' is not recognized as the name
of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the
path is correct and try again. This error message indicates that you have not yet installed the Microsoft Graph PowerShell module.
The module is found here, and you can install it by running the following command:
Import-Module Microsoft.GraphPlease be aware that the Microsoft Graph PowerShell module is of monstrous proportions. The package exceeds half a GB and takes quite a long time to download and install.
You can verify the installation by looking for folders prefixed with “Microsoft.Graph”.
If you’re installing the Microsoft Graph PowerShell module with admin rights, the folders are downloaded to %program files%\WindowsPowerShell\Modules.
If you’re installing the module without admin rights, the folders are created in %userprofile%\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules.
(read this article for more details on PowerShell module side-by-side installations)
With the Microsoft Graph PowerShell modules downloaded, you’ll be able to connect successfully:
PS C:\> Connect-MgGraph Welcome To Microsoft Graph!
