 # Connect to Exchange Online Protection PowerShell
 
-Exchange Online Protection PowerShell allows you to manage your Exchange Online Protection organization from the command line. You use Windows PowerShell on your local computer to create a remote PowerShell session to Exchange Online Protection. It's a simple three-step process where you enter your Office 365 credentials, provide the required connection settings, and then import the Exchange Online Protection cmdlets into your local Windows PowerShell session so that you can use them.
+In standalone Exchange Online Protection (EOP) organizations without Exchange Online mailboxes, standalone EOP PowerShell allows you to manage your EOP organization from the command line.

It's a simple three-step process where you enter your Microsoft 365 credentials, provide the required connection settings, and then import the EOP cmdlets into your local Windows PowerShell session so that you can use them.
