Once everything In Installed, Copy the script below to ISE, change the login details and run:

$powerPass = "password"

$password = ConvertTo-SecureString $powerPass -AsPlainText -Force

$adminCredential = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $powerUser,$password

$O365Cred = $adminCredential

Connect-MsolService –Credential $O365Cred

Import-Module MSOnline

$exchangeSession = New-PSSession –ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange –ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell -Credential $O365Cred -Authentication "Basic" -AllowRedirection
