Hello365.ps1

This is my script for connecting to Office 365. It features a multiple chose option to allow quick swapping between different tenants, and a custom command prompt that displays the tenant name and account used to connect.

Right now this script assumes that you have the standard modules for Azure, SharePoint Online and Skype for Business.  If you do not, just add a # in front of the line requesting it. I be improving module handling in a future version of this script.

Please feel free to ask questions in the comments below.
