Azure BackSynch Implementation Error (4281760)

When configuring the AzureAD BackSync in the Synchronization Service, you may come across the following error:

"To establish a connection, the Microsoft Office 365 Connector requires the following software: \n\n- Microsoft Online Services Module for Windows PowerShell \n\nInstall the required software and try again."

SOLUTION

1) On the Sync Service server, launch a PowerShell prompt with elevated credentials (Run As Administrator);

2) Type the following cmdlet:

Install-Module -Name MSOnline

3) If prompted, type "Y" to install the NuGet provider;

4) If prompted, type "Y" again to trust the provider.

To confirm that the module has been successfully installed, type the following cmdlet:

Connect-MsolService

And attempt to connect to O365. If the connection is successful, reattempt the BackSynch configuration.
