Step 3: Establish Access

Follow the on-screen prompts in tool to establish access.

  • Prompt Enter Username : Enter the test username you acquired from TME self service portal

  • Prompt Enter Password : Enter the password you acquired from TME self service protal

Note: When pasting password into PowerShell terminal - 
make sure you see more than one '*' on your screen (rougly the length of your actual password). 

If you see only one * that means the password is pasted incorrectly. 

Its a quirk of PowerShell. 

Also, pro tip: 
Once you have copied your password, you can press right click on your PowerShell terminal to paste.

  • Watch MAAD-AF enumerate through various Microsoft cloud services and establish access to them. initial_access_process

  • Its is perfectly OK if you cannot establish access to one or two services out of all.

  • During this process if you get an interactive pop up to select a account then choose the one you used to establish access and enter its password. interactive_pop_up
