Problem
I used to connect Azure AD Powershell module using Connect-MsolService command. I can always able to successfully connect via proxy server and without proxy. But for some reason, today, I am receiving the errors Exception of type Microsoft.Online.Administration.Automation.MicrosoftOnlineException’ was thrown and There was no endpoint listening at
https://provisioningapi.microsoftonline.com/provisioningwebservice.svc that could accept the message when I use Connect-MsolService command.
Error Message 1:
Connect-MsolService : There was no endpoint listening at
https://provisioningapi.microsoftonline.com/provisioningwebservice.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.

Fix/Solution
The problem was solved for me after configuring Powershell to use proxy authentication for Microsoft Online endpoint (https://provisioningapi.microsoftonline.com/provisioningwebservice.svc) using Invoke-WebRequest command in Powershell.
Invoke-WebRequest -Proxy http://myporxyerver:myport -ProxyUseDefaultCredentials https://provisioningapi.microsoftonline.com/provisioningwebservice.svc
After running the above command, now the Powershell uses my proxy settings to connect Microsoft Office 365.
Note: replace myporxyerver with your proxy server and myport with your proxy server port.
After calling the Invoke-WebRequest, what other PowerShell commands can you now run?
You can connect Azure AD Powershell using Connect-MsolService and run commands like Get-MsolUser, Get-MsolGroup
Im having the same issue but using websense, which uses a auto config (pac) file.
Invoke-WebRequest doesnt seem to work with PAC
Sorry. I don't know whether this solution will fix your problem… can you edit ur PAC file and add the check to allow the url https://provisioningapi.microsoftonline.com/provisioningwebservice
