Module not working with disabled WinRM Basic Authentication

[chwilfing]

Hi,

customer of mine has disabled WinRM Basic Authentication on their clients via Group Policy, therefore trying to do a Connect-IPPSSession does not connect with error:

Connecting to Security & Compliance Center. Please logon in the new window

Based on the current documentation (afaik) LearnWebSite - there is currently no way around this even with the V3 ExchangePowerShell Module.

Is there any way to run this compliance report without enabling basic authentication?

Nevermind, we've solved the issue with the current Exchange PowerShell Module 3.2.0 - Preview4.

Upgrading to this version with:

Update-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement -AllowPrerelease

or doing a plain install with:

Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement -AllowPrerelease

and using (currently required as long as the module is not GA) the following command to connect:

Connect-IPPSSession -UseRPSSession:$false

Did the trick.
