Can anyone please suggest on this query. Is there any way  to find the authentication of users using command mode in office 365.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Are you after the property used as a login name or are you trying to log authentication attempts or something else entirely?

If it's the first one you want then this will help:

(Use your Office365 credentials when prompted)

$cred = Get-Credential
$session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection

Import-PSSession $session

Get-User | Select UserPrincipalName

Hi Callum,

Thanks for your update but I am not looking for the above commands. My query is there any powerShell scripts or commands which can periodically perform authentication in office 365 mailbox.

I believe he wants to know when his users sign into different clients .

such as OWA, Lync, Outlook ..

I believe he wants  Logon statstics:

Make a .csv file with your list of users & import & define the variable $csv :

$csv  |  foreach {Get-logonStatistics -Identity $_.upn} | select * |out-gridview

Before yyou run the logon stats you'll need to connect to the Exccange Remote powershell

To connect to the Exchange powershell with stored credential:

$SecPass1=convertto-securestring-asplaintext-string"Password!!"-force

$MSOLM=new-objectSystem.Management.Automation.PSCredential-argumentlist"[email protected]",$SecPass1

$Session=New-PSSession-ConfigurationNameMicrosoft.Exchange-ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/*-Credential*$MSOLM*-Authentication*Basic*-AllowRedirection*

Import-ModuleMSOnline

Import-PSSession$Session*–AllowClobber*
