Granfeldt PowerShell MA Import-PSSession?

Question

Firstly
Søren Granfeldt thank you for writing and releasing this MA! I'm using it for Account Expiration dates already!! My issue is when trying to connect to Exchange Online (O365) to manage mailboxes.
I'm using the Granfeldt PowerShell MA to access data in Office 365 but not just the dirsync (is the user licensed) but also properties on the Exchange Online.
I can connect to Exchange Online (O365)  when running the script as the service account (FIMService). It connects using stored credentials to Exchange Online using Remote PowerShell and Importing the session with -AllowClobber. However I get an error
on the Import-PSSession line saying that $Session is undefined / Null when the MA Runs it.
I have a couple of questions.
1) If I edit the import.ps1 script (Import Script) do I need to refresh the PowerShell MA Schema for it to pick up the changes or does it load and run this on the fly?
2) Has any one ran an Import-PSSession with the Granfeldt  PowerShell and gotten a script Error: Script error in line 24: [Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Session'. The argument is null. Supply a non-null argument and try the command again.]
- (At {REMOVED}
+     Import-PSSession -Session $mySession -AllowClobber -WarningAction SilentlyCo ...
The error is under the $mySession variable, it should connect just fine, I've gone so far as hard coding the password into the script.
3) Is there any way to make the import script "Run as Admin / Elevated" ?
Thanks in advance!!!!

I was able to make a test against Exchange Online. The below Import.ps1 works fine in Sorens PS MA.
param (
    $Username,
    $Password
#Create Session
$pw = ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force -String $Password
$O365Credentials = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $Username,$pw
$session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName "Microsoft.Exchange" -ConnectionUri "https://ps.outlook.com/powershell" -Credential $O365Credentials -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
$result = Import-PSSession $session -AllowClobber -CommandName Get-MailUSer
$MailUsers = Get-MailUser
ForEach($MailUser in $MailUsers)
    $obj = @{}
    $obj.Add("Alias",$MailUser.Alias)
    $obj.Add("objectClass", "MailUser")
    $obj

Thank you for the script. I created a new import script with just the code here in the post by itself. I still get the following error in the Logs (Turned the logs on using the Registery key per Soren's blog post.)
I'm just including one line above the error and one line below the error. Let me know if more would help.
It's like for some reason the remote PowerShell session doesn't get connected.
