asked on Cannot connect using Connect-EXOPSSession
Dear Experts,
After following this instruction from Microsoft to how to install and use Exchange Online Powershell with MFA:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/exchange/exchange-online/connect-to-exchange-online-powershell/mfa-connect-to-exchange-online-powershell?view=exchange-ps
When I try the first command, which is:
Connect-EXOPSSession -UserPrincipalName yballan@yyyy.org
I receive the following error message:
Import-Module : The specified module 'Microsoft.Exchange.Manage
I have verified that there are indeed folders and files in what follows the error message: C:\Users\yballan\AppData\L
I am not sure why the module cannot be found.
I have deleted the C:\Users\yballan\AppData\L
Please advise.

Dear FOX, yes, I did download and install the Exchange online Module.
First I thought the problem was that I was not executing it as Administrator. But there is no way for me to do it.
Only thing I can find is a shortcut, cannot find where the executable is located.
Please see my screenshot.
I am executing everything in this module, and still getting an error.

try this on a normal powershell (prefered with admin rights)
Import-Module $((Get-ChildItem -Path $($env:LOCALAPPDATA+"\Apps\2.0\") -Filter Microsoft.Exchange.Management.ExoPowershellModule.dll -Recurse ).FullName|?{$_ -notmatch "_none_"}|select -First 1)
$EXOSession = New-ExoPSSession
Import-PSSession $EXOSession

Thank you, Jian An, I will perform the above as soon as I get to work tomorrow AM!!!!
also run
to confirm is this the same location on where your command prompt runs.
i am thinking you might use a different a admin account for powershell purpose hence cannot find the required dll
$env:LOCALAPPDATA

Yes, I was able to run all of the commands without error. Please see attached.
Both Get-ChildItem -Path did not give error, but also did not return anything. is that what you are referring as Null?
I agree with you, I have been trying to locate Microsoft.Exchange.Managem

Dear Jian An,
When I went to find out who set this up, I was told one piece of information I was missing: It doesn't run on Windows 7 Pro machine!!
I had no idea, since Win7 P laptop was what was given to me from my boss, I didn't even think to check. I feel so dumb.
Thank you for guiding me to the right path, I RDP to Win2012 Server and tested and was able to get it working.
I really appreciated your help.

Did you go to your Exchange Admin Center for your site and download and install the Exchange online Module?
In Internet Explorer or Edge, open the Exchange admin center (EAC) for your Exchange Online organization (Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox won't work). For instructions, see Exchange Admin Center in Exchange Online.
In the EAC, go to Hybrid > Setup and click the appropriate Configure button to download the Exchange Online Remote PowerShell Module for multi-factor authentication.
