Hi,

The issue would occur while the DNS records for Autodiscover are pointed to the on-premise SFB Server.

To resolve this issue, run the cmdlet again, but instead specify the OverrideAdminDomain property. The PowerShell cmdlet should resemble the following:

$cssession = New-CsOnlineSession –Credential $cred –OverrideAdminDomain "domainname.onmicrosoft.com"

As for the OverrideAdminDomain, please Use the default domain that was included with your Office 365 subscription. Please try to run the -OverrideAdminDomain parameter to test again.
