Patch for Cayosoft Administrator that allows to use Exchange Online PowerShell module v2.0.6

Summary: Cayosoft Administrator version 9.2.3 works with Exchange Online PowerShell V2 module version 2.0.5. Microsoft works under new versions of this module and has released version 2.0.6-Preview6 of the EXO V2 module that supports new features. Cayosoft Administrator doesn't support this version by default because it requires additional parameters when connecting to EXO API. The patch allows using this preview version with Cayosoft Administrator.

Applies to: Cayosoft Administrator v9.2.3.
