EWS-GUI Tool

About

Exchange Web Services (EWS) tool to perform different operations in Exchange On-Premises and Exchange Online.
This tool will connect using Basic Auth to on-premises mailboxes (uses Autodiscover for endpoint discovery).
And will use Oauth to connect to Exchange Online. If "Modern Authentication" is not enabled in the tenant, the tool will fail to connect.

News!

There is a new version of the tool ported to MsGraph.
As we know, Microsoft is putting all its efforts in porting all these features (and more) to graph.
So it was time to start developing on graph requests.

Pre-requisites

This Module requires Powershell 5.1 and above. It should work fine in PS7 and PS5.1.
This Module will install 'Microsoft.Identity.Client' and 'MSAL.PS' modules, in order to use MSAL libraries to connect to Exchange Online.
There is no need to have EWS API Management dll pre installed. This Module already has the required files.
