But you find yourself with this unfamiliar, weird looking Error! 😣
Connect-MsolService : Exception of type
'Microsoft.Online.Administration.Automation.MicrosoftOnlineException' was thrown.
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : OperationStopped: (:) [Connect-MsolService], Mic
rosoftOnlineException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : 0x800488EE,Microsoft.Online.Administration.Automation.ConnectMsolService
You try to resolve the error by usual troubleshooting practices like below yet the server does not connect correctly. ðŸ˜
- Reboot the server
- Upgrade to the latest version for PowerShell
- Re-install PowerShell module
- Check a machine supports TLS 1.2
What else to to? I troubleshooted this myself successfully spending 45+ minutes myself quite recently when helping someone configure MFA for VPN Clients using NPS Server Extension. I found out this error 0x800488EE is indeed connected to the Sign-in-Assistant service. Yes, its been more than a decade since Microsoft launched this tiny little tool which used to be a 'must have' even for client machines to connect using Outlook and Lync (yes, this old).
You need to Uninstall and Re-install Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant for IT Professionals RTW from below links. It comes in two variants, if the regular one does not work, you can install the beta version
- Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant for IT Professionals RTW
- Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant for IT Professionals BETA
Now, the connection works fine! 😊
If the PowerShell still does not connect, try to Restart the Online Services Sign-In Assistant service. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open Control Panel, click Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
- In the list of services, right-click Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant, and then click Restart.
