Microsoft has currently disabled new registrations for the MS 365 Dev program. For the time being, please treat the lab as read-only or bring your own MS 365 account. Our team is currently working on an update, thank you for your understanding.
Exchange Online PowerShell lets you manage your Exchange Online mailboxes from the command line. You can use Exchange Online PowerShell to manage user mailboxes for example assigning mailbox permissions.
