Connecting to Office 365 Powershell

[Edu-IT]

I keep getting an error:

 

Connecting to the remote server failed with the following error message : The SSL connection cannot be established. Verify that the service on the remote host is properly configured to listen for HTTPS requests.

 

Is this something I am doing, or, an MS fault?

Are you sure it's not a firewall issue your end? What about if you tether a notebook via 3G, does it work then?

[Edu-IT]

I've not got enough data to try.

 

Is there any other way I can check if the port is blocked, without going to the ISP?

[Michael]

Powershell uses 5985 and 5986, so if you phone your ISP they should be able to tell you. As I say, if you tether a notebook via 3G and it works, then it's likely the ports it needs are blocked.

[Edu-IT]

These are what they have open. So you're probably right.
