We want to execute some tasks (non-interactive) as service account, ( against Microsoft Exchange such as Created Achieve Mailbox, Created Shared Mailbox, this looks like we do not have to use basic authentication with Connect-ExchangeOnline as this is deprecated, and we have to use EXO V2 module with modern authentication.

When we read and see what we can do with EXO V2 module, it only has very few Get- operations available not all the Set- operations which works with old Connect-ExchangeOnline module, so we are bit confused what to use then?

any best practices?

Our best runtime options are Azure functions as preferable if thats possible to run it from there.

     @Andy David - MVP command that we want to execute non - interactively

    Enable-Mailbox -Identity <username> -Archive

    Set-Mailbox "Dan Jump" -EmailAddresses @{add="dan.jump@northamerica.contoso.com"}

    New-Mailbox -Shared -Name "Sales Department" -DisplayName "Sales Department" -Alias Sales |

    Set-Mailbox -GrantSendOnBehalfTo MarketingSG | Add-MailboxPermission -User MarketingSG -AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType All

    as we understand EXO V2 is backed by new REST API, do you know if the above functions are exposed in the REST API? (we can call the REST API) directly if these are available.

    As far as I know they are not exposed right now outside of the ExO module. - Perhaps in the future.
    But all those commands can be run with V2 module.

    Hi,
    I've tried connecting to Exchange Online PowerShell V2 module using modern authentication and the commands work for me.
    What error did you meet?
