Student Advantage - Powershell

[tech-man]

Hello

 

Would someone mind telling me what I am doing wrong here? I am connecting to the right bits Online etc

 

Import-Csv c:\users\manager\desktop\test.csv | ForEach-Object {get-msoluser -SearchString $_.UserPrincipalName |Set-MsolUserLicense -AddLicenses XXXX:OFFICESUBSCRIPTION_STUDENT}

 

I hate PowerShell!

 

Thanks

I used the command: Get-MsolUser -UnlicencedUsersOnly -All| Set-MsolUserLicense -AddLicenses :OfficeSUBSCRIPTION_STUDENT. I did have to set the location to GB first - I don't have the command to hand I used. Try adding a licence through the web interface - when I did that I was prompted to set location.

That wont work for us as we have already granted Outlook & Office 365 so therefore they are not unlicenced....

Then take out the -unlicencedusersonly part. Getmsoluser -all is an accepted command.

You could also chuck in a | Where-Object {$.fieldname -like "your_value_here"} to limit your msolUser call to just students if you have a unique field (assuming both your staff and students are in 365 that is)

No joy, throws a licence error...

 

This command works:

set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName [email protected] -AddLicenses XXXX:OFFICESUBSCRIPTION_STUDENT

 

I want to be able to do this for all my users - odd

[Boredguy]

This is the script we are going to use. In my case it returns 950 results as our student accounts all start with STU..

 

$users = Get-MsolUser -all | Where-Object {$_.UserPrincipalName -like "STU*-*" }

foreach ($user in $users)

{

Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName $user.UserPrincipalName -AddLicenses "BLAH:OFFICESUBSCRIPTION_STUDENT"

}

Thanks guys... given up on this - I created a file in Excel to do them all on a one by one basis.
