The pain of TLS 1.2 with PowerShell module for Azure Active Directory (MSOnline)

Building labs in a hurry sometimes can bite you with recent changes in Office 365 connections.  I just got hit with a problem with PowerShell module for Azure Active Directory not connecting:

The problem relates to the connection type from a very unpatched (on purpose) Windows 2016 lab server for developing a Powershell script against Azure AD.  While working out the authentication errors I noticed a TLS issue.  At this point of time there has been a major change by Microsoft from TLS 1.1 to 1.2 which stopped the Auth Process to connect using command Connect-msolservice.

Running the following command fix this issue:

This force .net 4.x or higher to use TLS 1.2 for connections. Powershell Connections to Azure AD now restored.

I hope this help others!
