Adding Office 365 License via PowerShell

Assigning Office 365 license via PowerShell is the need of the hour if the tenant doesn’t have a p1 license and you got to apply them manually.
the only easy way is to use PowerShell for bulk license assignment. Also, it’s useful to upgrade or renew different licensing.

Connect-AzureAD

if you don’t have the module

Install-Module -Name AzureAD
Get-AzureADUser -ObjectID username@localhost | Select DisplayName, UsageLocation

Got the usage location as US

Import-Csv .\assignexchstandard.csv | ForEach-Object {Set-AzureADUser -ObjectId $_.upn -UsageLocation "US"}

use the below command to Cross-checking on applied values – or use GUI

Import-Csv .\assignexchstandard.csv | ForEach-Object {Get-AzureADUser -ObjectId $_.upn | FT UsageLocation }

Now usage location is updated on the required accounts. as it’s mandatory before assigning a license via PowerShell. in my case, I don’t have a p1 license in this tenant that’s the reason I got to do this via PowerShell otherwise I would use dynamic licensing

Get-AzureADSubscribedSku | Select SkuPartNumber

In my case, I need to assign ExchangeStandard

$License = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.Open.AzureAD.Model.AssignedLicense
$License.SkuId = (Get-AzureADSubscribedSku | Where-Object -Property SkuPartNumber -Value EXCHANGESTANDARD -EQ).SkuID
$License.SkuId
4b9405b0-7788-4568-add1-99614e613b69
$LicensesToAssign = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.Open.AzureAD.Model.AssignedLicenses
$LicensesToAssign.AddLicenses = $License
$LicensesToAssign | FL

AddLicenses : {class AssignedLicense {
DisabledPlans:
SkuId: 4b9405b0-7788-4568-add1-99614e613b69
}
}
RemoveLicenses :

once you have a proper value assigned on this variable $LicensesToAssign
you can use import-csv to assign all users.


Import-Csv .\assignexchstandard.csv | ForEach-Object {Set-AzureADUserLicense -ObjectId $_.upn -AssignedLicenses $LicensesToAssign}

Now you can see licenses got assigned successfully.
