The Office 365 Compliance Center is the management interface for the compliance-related features of Office 365 such as eDiscovery and Mobile Device Management.
To manage the Compliance Center with PowerShell we need to make a remote PowerShell session. If you’ve been managing Office 365 until now you are probably already aware of how to make a remote PowerShell session to Exchange Online.
- Capture Office 365 admin credentials
- Create a new PSSession
- Import the PSSession
As with the Exchange Online remote session the easiest way to establish a remote session to the Compliance Center is by adding a function to your PowerShell profile that you can run each time you need to connect. You can read more about setting up a PowerShell profile here.
You can download the Connect-ComplianceCenter function from Github.
