Thanks you for this, saved my life when we had trouble with amending our DNS and could not get autodiscover working

In reply to Ivo.

In order to use the Exchange Online cmdlts, such as Get-Recipient, you will need to create a remote PowerShell session in order to connect to Exchange Online. The following is a snippet from a login script I personally use.
$user = “user@domain.onmicrosoft.com”
# This will pop-up a dialog and request your password
$cred = Get-Credential -Credential $user
#Imports the Local Microsoft Online PowerShell Module Cmdlets and Connect to O365 Online
Import-Module MSOnline
Connect-MsolService -Credential $cred
#Establishes a Remote PowerShell Session to Exchange Online
$msoExchangeURL = “https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/”
$session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri $msoExchangeURL -Credential $cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $session

My “Get-Recipient command is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet,… I did copy/past from your article. Went to Step 8 as in http://theucguy.net/connect-office-365-using-powershell/ and Get-Recipient is not part of the msocmdlets. Is an import of some Exchange Server 2013 powershell module required?.I’m missing something…

Thanks very much! This information was perfect, unlike a ton of outdated articles telling you to go to OWA, click the question mark then “About” (which no longer exists) to retrieve the manual server setup. A workaround I used in the past was to set up the external autodiscover record then modify the workstation DNS to discover the 365 server. However, this works perfectly! Thanks again.
