Hello,
from my research
Ability to connect to tenant has been disabled in Skype for Business Online
To use PowerShell to manage Skype for Business Online, the EnableRemotePowerShellAccess property of your tenant PowerShell policy must be set to
True
. If it is not, your connection will fail, and you'll receive the following error message:-
Error: New-PSSession : [admin.vdomain.com] Processing data from remote server admin.vdomain.com failed with the following error message: The ability to connect to this tenant by using a remote PowerShell session has been disabled. Please contact Lync Help to check Tenant Powershell Policy of this tenant. For more information, see the Remote Troubleshooting.
-
Resolution: If you see this error message, you'll need to contact Office 365 Support and get remote PowerShell access enabled.

Hi Akabe,
In my research, you can create service request in Office 365.
Logging into your tenant by going to https://admin.microsoft.com/Adminportal/Home?source=applauncher#/homepage. Once you login, you will see the below page. Click on Support > New service request.
Then, you can follow the image to create a new service request about this issue.
