  2. Import MSOnline Module. Run "Import-Module MSOnline" command

  3. Connect Office 365 account. Run "Connect-MsolService" command, it will open login screen for Office 365 account.

ImmutableId

Immutable Id's are unique ID for the user which will be auto created inside your realm user attribute when they try to login before the user is being created. Go to office 365 login in incognito window and put user email address in login screen, it will redirect to "TozID" login page. That's it. ImmutableId will be created for that user inside User Attribute with the key "saml.persistent.name.id.for.urn:federation:MicrosoftOnline".
