Installing the Microsoft Online Services Module

The Microsoft Online Services Module can be downloaded directly from the Office 365 site, and is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Following are the requirements for a system to run the Microsoft Online Services Module:

• Supported operating systems are Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

• .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 must be enabled as a Windows feature.

• Office 365 software updates should be downloaded and installed from the Office 365 portal to ensure that the appropriate versions of all software are used.

The Microsoft Online Services Module also requires administrative access to AD FS 2.0 for the cmdlets to execute successfully. If the module will not be installed and run directly on a federation server, remote access to AD FS must be enabled. You can accomplish this by opening Windows PowerShell as an administrator on the federation server and executing the cmdlet enable-psremoting.
