The term 'Search-Mailbox' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet Exchange Online Powershell

I am currently working on a script that would delete meeting requests from terminated employees of the organization. I found this one as a reference (Deleting Meeting Requests made by terminated users) and i can't get it to work for me because of my error.

this is my script

Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Exchange\Web Services\2.1\Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.dll"


$UserCredential = Get-Credential
$session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $session -AllowClobber
#Enter-PSSession $session

$rooms = Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails RoomMailbox -ResultSize Unlimited  

$count=$rooms.count
$TerminatedUsers = Get-Content D:\Work\SHAR78\resignedEmployees.txt

Write-Host "count of rooms " $count

foreach ($user in $TerminatedUsers) {

   Write-Host "terminated user" $user

    foreach($room in $rooms) {

        $room | Search-Mailbox -searchquery "kind:calendar from:$($user)" -targetmailbox [email protected] -TargetFolder "SearchData" -logonly -loglevel full
        #-targetmailbox [email protected] -targetfolder "Deleting Meeting" -deletecontent -force

    }
}

i am connected to Exchange Online so im not sure why Search-Mailbox is not being imported. my account has an Owner permission as well.

It seems like you do not have the cmdlet available. So check the proper version.

Please do the following and see:

Create "Mailbox Import-Export Management" role group and be a member of it.

To create the role group use:

New-RoleGroup "Mailbox Import-Export Management" -Roles "Mailbox Import Export"

To add the member:
Add-RoleGroupMember "Mailbox Import-Export Management" -Member

Apart from that if you want to search then you can use like this: 

Get-mailbox | Export-Mailbox –AllContentKeywords "thekeysyouwant" –TargetMailbox Administrator –TargetFolder 'foldername'

Hope it helps.
