I'm trying to get rid of AD Connect settings in Azure. Support has given me this link +, however, PowerShell won't accept my credentials as provided in step 3. The credentials are correct, I've checked, and they work fine for logging in to Azure through the web portal. I've tried the address of my MS account, and also the "onmicrosoft" variation, no success.
The first error message (MS account) was:
connect-msolservice : Authentication Error: Bad username or password. In Zeile:1 Zeichen:1 + connect-msolservice -credential $msolcred + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : OperationStopped: (:) [Connect-MsolService], Exception + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Exception,Microsoft.Online.Administration.Automation.ConnectMsolService
The second one:
("onmicrosoft" address, same PW): connect-msolservice : Authentication Error: Unexpected authentication failure. In Zeile:1 Zeichen:1 + connect-msolservice -credential $msolcred + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : OperationStopped: (:) [Connect-MsolService], Exception + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Exception,Microsoft.Online.Administration.Automation.ConnectMsolService
I don't know whether it matters, but it is a free trial Azure account, and there is no active O365 subscription, just the basic access to office.com that comes with the account. Any ideas?
Are you trying to login using a personal (outlook, hotmail, etc) account? Those are not supported.
Yes. That explains it, thank you.
A bit absurd that I can use the account in the Azure portal, but not in PowerShell.
So, am I out of options as far as removing those AD Connect settings go? I haven't seen any way to do it through GUI.
You can create a new global admin and use him from powershell.
