Hi Ralph,

This issue can occur if the Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell isn't loaded correctly.

Try to install the Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell on the computer (if it isn't already installed) via the following Microsoft website:

Manage Azure AD using Windows PowerShell

Ethan,

Ralph is referring to connecting to Office 365 through Powershell on Mac. You are posting links for a Windows machine. Powershell was introduced on Mac 8 months ago, and supposed to be able to run the same CMDlets as Windows powershell, but that doesn't seem to be working. Any idea when the CMDlets to connect to Office 365 will be available?
