Office 365: How to force log out multiple users using PowerShell Script?

To force log out users, we can use the Office 365 Admin Center or PowerShell.

In Office 365 Admin center, use the following the following steps.

Office 365 Admin Center
Users -> Active Users ->Select the User and in the OneDrive settings, click Initiate sign out.

If you would like to force sign out multiple users, you can also execute following script.

Import-Module MSOnline
$cred = Get-Credential
Connect-MsolService -Credential $cred
Connect-SPOService -Url https://yourdomainname-admin.sharepoint.com -Credential $cred

# To get all enabled users
#$users = Get-MsolUser -EnabledFilter EnabledOnly -All

# To get all the users of a Department
#$users = Get-MsolUser -Department ‘Department Name’ -All

# To get all the users
$users = Get-MsolUser -All;

foreach ( $user in $users){
Revoke-SPOUserSession -user $user.UserPrincipalName -Confirm:$false
}

Security Requirements: You need to be a SharePoint Online Global administrator to run the cmdlet Revoke-SPOUserSession.

The user will be signed out from all the sessions across all the devices.

It may take up to an hour for all sign-outs.

Note: If this is the first time you are running the PowerShell for Office 365, use the following two links to install the required tools.

Please post in the comments section, if you have more ideas for scripts.
