How to authenticate using username/password/domain via ManagementScope

Have a utility I wrote that checks (among other things) the last time a set of servers was rebooted. This works great as long as the servers are all within my domain and the user launching the app have rights on the servers. Added a section where the user can specify alternative credentials, in our case specifically to deal with another domain. The credentials I am feeding into have domain admin rights on the destination domain, yet my code is getting an Access Denied (Unauthorized Access) error.
thanks!

Had to sleep on it, but the answer finally hit me in the shower...
I store the password the user provides in a SecureString variable, but the ConnectionOptions' password field expects the value as a clear string. I was able to test this by temporarily hard coding a password in, which then worked. The final solution was to convert the SecureString to a clear string and then assign it to the ConnectionOption.
If anyone is curious, I used this bit to convert the password back:
string password = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(string.Empty, securePassword).Password;

What is the proper syntax for using c# functions in a powershell script?

I'm able to get a simple c# function to work, but when I introduce something more complicated such as what's below, I'm getting syntax errors and there isn't a lot of examples on how to do this.
I've made updates to the code based on advice received here, but this code still does not function properly

You have two problems. Probably really just one. By default Add-Type uses the C# version 5 compiler, which is the latest one to be included in Windows. The string interpolation with $ is a newer feature. See this answer Powershell Add-Type C# 6.0.
Second, you have powershell escape characters in your C# code that shouldn't be there. Instead use a literal here-string to include arbitrary C# source. EG:
$distribution = #'
namespace MultiThreading
{
....
}
'#
C# has no "special" way to reference .NET Framework types, so you have to provide the compiler with a list of assemblies your code depends on.
Add-Type will use will use the current .NET Framework assemblies if you specify the "short name" of the assembly in the -ReferencedAssemblies argument. So:
Add-Type -TypeDefinition $distribution -ReferencedAssemblies System.Data, System.Xml
If you need an assembly that can't be resolved this way, you have to list the Assembly FullName, and Add-Type will try to load it.
You definitely want to avoid putting a full AssemblyName for a .NET Framework assembly in your powershell code, as that might cause your script to break when running on a machine with a different .NET Framework version, or with .NET Core.

Create exchange mailbox in c#

I want to create Mailbox in exchange server 2013 using c# .
I tried lots of codes but each one gets an error that there is no obvious solution to solve it.
my code is
public static Boolean CreateUser(string FirstName, string LastName, string Alias,string PassWord, string DomainName, string OrganizationalUnit)
{
string Name = FirstName + " " + LastName;
string PrincipalName = FirstName + "." + LastName + "#" + DomainName;
Boolean success = false;
string consolePath = #"C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\bin\exshell.psc1";
PSConsoleLoadException pSConsoleLoadException = null;
RunspaceConfiguration rsConfig = RunspaceConfiguration.Create(consolePath, out pSConsoleLoadException);
SecureString spassword = new SecureString();
spassword.Clear();
foreach (char c in PassWord)
{
spassword.AppendChar(c);
}
PSSnapInException snapInException = null;
Runspace myRunSpace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(rsConfig);
myRunSpace.Open();
Pipeline pipeLine = myRunSpace.CreatePipeline();
Command myCommand = new Command("New-MailBox");
myCommand.Parameters.Add("Name", Name);
myCommand.Parameters.Add("Alias", Alias);
myCommand.Parameters.Add("UserPrincipalName", PrincipalName);
myCommand.Parameters.Add("Confirm", true);
myCommand.Parameters.Add("SamAccountName", Alias);
myCommand.Parameters.Add("FirstName", FirstName);
myCommand.Parameters.Add("LastName", LastName);
myCommand.Parameters.Add("Password", spassword);
myCommand.Parameters.Add("ResetPasswordOnNextLogon", false);
myCommand.Parameters.Add("OrganizationalUnit", OrganizationalUnit);
pipeLine.Commands.Add(myCommand);
pipeLine.Invoke(); // got an error here
myRunSpace.Dispose();
}
and call it :
Boolean Success = CreateUser("firstname", "lastName", "aliasName", "AAaa12345", "mydomain.com", "mydomain.com/Users");
which I get this error :
Additional information: The term 'New-MailBox' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
and another code that I test is:
string userName = "administrator";
string password = "mypass";
System.Security.SecureString securePassword = new System.Security.SecureString();
foreach (char c in password)
{
securePassword.AppendChar(c);
}
PSCredential credential = new PSCredential(userName, securePassword);
WSManConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new WSManConnectionInfo(new Uri("https://{my server IP}/POWERSHELL/Microsoft.Exchange"),
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/powershell/Microsoft.Exchange",
credential);
connectionInfo.AuthenticationMechanism = AuthenticationMechanism.Basic;
connectionInfo.SkipCACheck = true;
connectionInfo.SkipCNCheck = true;
connectionInfo.MaximumConnectionRedirectionCount = 2;
using (Runspace runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(connectionInfo))
{
runspace.Open();
using (PowerShell powershell = PowerShell.Create())
{
powershell.Runspace = runspace;
//Create the command and add a parameter
powershell.AddCommand("Get-Mailbox");
powershell.AddParameter("RecipientTypeDetails", "UserMailbox");
//Invoke the command and store the results in a PSObject collection
Collection<PSObject> results = powershell.Invoke();
//Iterate through the results and write the DisplayName and PrimarySMTP
//address for each mailbox
foreach (PSObject result in results)
{
Console.WriteLine(
string.Format("Name: { 0}, PrimarySmtpAddress: { 1}",
result.Properties["DisplayName"].Value.ToString(),
result.Properties["PrimarySmtpAddress"].Value.ToString()
));
}
}
}
and I get this error
Additional information: Connecting to remote server {Server IP Address} failed with the following error message : [ClientAccessServer=WIN-FRP2TC5SKRG,BackEndServer=,RequestId=460bc5fe-f809-4454-8472-ada97eacb9fb,TimeStamp=4/6/2016 6:23:28 AM] Access is denied.

I think I gave every permission which is needed to my administrator user and firewall is off but it doesn't work yet.
Any help or hint !!
thanks

Try this:
//Secure String
string pwd = "Password";
char[] cpwd = pwd.ToCharArray();
SecureString ss = new SecureString();
foreach (char c in cpwd)
ss.AppendChar(c);
//URI
Uri connectTo = new Uri("http://exchserver.domain.local/PowerShell");
string schemaURI = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/powershell/Microsoft.Exchange";
//PS Credentials
PSCredential credential = new PSCredential("Domain\\administrator", ss);
WSManConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new WSManConnectionInfo(connectTo, schemaURI, credential);
connectionInfo.MaximumConnectionRedirectionCount = 5;
connectionInfo.AuthenticationMechanism = AuthenticationMechanism.Kerberos;
Runspace remoteRunspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(connectionInfo);
remoteRunspace.Open();
PowerShell ps = PowerShell.Create();
ps.Runspace = remoteRunspace;
ps.Commands.AddCommand("Get-Mailbox");
ps.Commands.AddParameter("Identity","user#domain.local");
foreach (PSObject result in ps.Invoke())
{
Console.WriteLine("{0,-25}{1}", result.Members["DisplayName"].Value,
result.Members["PrimarySMTPAddress"].Value);
}

I unchecked "prefer 32-bit" and changed platform target to x64, the problem was solved.
with the following code :

I tried creating a new solution as Google suggested but it's obviously going wrong when creating the runspace.
I'm out of idea's and sources for help, so I'm reaching out to the Stackoverflow community.
Thanks in advance,

EDIT:
I tried cleaning my solution, manually deleting any pbd's, changed the target CPU, turned off code optimalization, allowed unsafe code, rebuilding, creating a new solution,... as suggested in this post.

I followed the advice from this answer: I added a reference to C:\windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Management.Automation and then ran this command in an elevated powershell: Copy ([PSObject].Assembly.Location) C:\

Unable to execute two Office 365 commands simultaneously using different accounts in C#

I am trying to query the users of two different Office 365 accounts simultaneously using C#. It works fine when trying from two Powershell Windows or when connecting and getting users one account after other by code. But not working when doing simultaneously using code.
On checking I found that only one log file is generated when trying from C#. But two different log files are generated when trying from PowerShell window.
Log folder location: %userprofile%\appdata\Local\Microsoft\Office365\Powershell
Which implies that when running from code, it works like running with single PowerShell window even with two runspaces.

Thread t2 = new Thread(() => connectandExec("admin#domain2.onmicrosoft.com", "Pwdd#123"));
t1.Start();
t2.Start();

Your code is trying to use threads to do something which should be done in different application domains: "An application domain forms an isolation boundary for security".
The Office 365 library will no doubt use the app domain of the current thread - and you're just using two threads which belong to the same app domain, hence the confusion / failure.
