Note: The Microsoft Graph API does not provide functionality for executing the MFA settings management action in M365 Manager Plus. Therefore, MSOnline PowerShell module is utilized to perform this task.

Verify and install Microsoft .NET version 4.8 and PowerShell version 5.1

Microsoft .NET Framework

  1. To check if Microsoft .NET Framework is installed, open Command Prompt from Run. Enter the following command:
    reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\full" /v version
  2. Check the displayed version. If the version is below 4.8, install Microsoft .NET Framework version 4.8 from here.

PowerShell

  1. To check if PowerShell is installed, type PowerShell from Run. If PowerShell is installed, check for its version number by running the following command in PowerShell:
    $PSVersionTable
  2. If the version is below 5.1 or if PowerShell is not installed, install PowerShell version 5.1 from here.

Verify and install the MSOnline PowerShell module using the PowerShell cmdlet

  1. To check if this module is installed, open PowerShell and enter the following cmdlet:
    Get-Module -ListAvailable -Name MSOnline.
    This will list the module if it is installed.
  2. If the version of the module installed is other than 1. 1. 183. 81, uninstall the MSOnline module by opening PowerShell as an administrator and entering the following cmdlet:
    Uninstall-Module MSOnline
  3. To install the module, open PowerShell as an administrator and enter the following cmdlet:
    Install-Module -Name MSOnline -RequiredVersion 1.1.183.81 -Force.
