I think I've seen this before in issue #46. If you recently enabled MFA in your environment, this could be the cause. Please see below. Others have had success by creating an Azure App.

This issue is from the ExchangeOnline Powershell Module and occurs for one of the following reasons:

• You enter an incorrect user name or password.
• You try to sign in to the service by using an account that doesn't have access to Exchange Online.
• You have security defaults enabled in your tenant.
  Source

Note that the ExchangeOnline Powershell Module in this script still uses basic authentication. It's on my to-do list to migrate this over to OAuth just as I have done for the EWS portions.

We only use ExchangeOnline to retrieve the contacts, so if you're up to the challenge you could follow a guide like the one here to set up an AzureAD App. After that, you'd need to modify the function here: https://github.com/grahamr975/EWS-Office365-Contact-Sync/blob/master/EWSContacts/Module/functions/contacts/Get-GALContacts.ps1

$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri $ConnectionUri -Credential $Credentials -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection

you are right, i activated MFA a feew weeks ago. but the script worked after that.
now i found out that on my local windows 11 pc the script works without error.
only on my server with windows server 2016 it stopped working since 15.03.2022.

i think it must be an issue with windows updates or some dependencies

@paochiz and others,

Could you try the latest version (commit 9fcfe1f) and see if this fixes your issues?
