Office 365 A1 plans - exchange online license

[neonetman]

Yet another question regarding our Office 365 hybrid setup.....

 

I've tested moving a member of staff to the Office365 side of the setup, and get a message saying they don't have an Exchange Online license. I've checked their licenses, and they have an Office A1 for Faculty license which should give them this (I know the A1 for students is giving it)..

 

Is there any way my predecessor may have disabled this part of the license when he set it up, as at the time we only had on-prem

 

Sorry for the many posts this last few days, however I'm nearly there now

 

HELP!!!!

Check under Apps further down below the user licenses. I bet Exchange Online (Plan 1) has been unticked, as is normal for an on-prem on G Suite hosted email system.

Can you point m to exactly where this is?

Office 365 Admin Centre. Click on your user, and the sidebar should appear. Under the Licenses and Apps tab, scroll down to Apps. Expand this and you should see the complete list.

Thankyou that's great - that was the issue...

 

2 questions leading on from that..

 

* Could that have been set as the default, and if so how can I change that

* Can I bulk-change all users to reset that?

 

Thanks again

That won't have been the default. It can be bulk changed, but only by Powershell connecting to MsOnline.

 

$StaffPlanEdu = New-MsolLicenseOptions -AccountSkuId yourownskuid:STANDARDWOFFPACK_FACULTY -DisabledPlans RMS_S_ENTERPRISE,EXCHANGE_S_STANDARD,YAMMER_EDU,INTUNE_O365,POWERAPPS_O365_P2
$AllUn = Get-MsolUser -All -Department "Staff"
foreach ($eachuser in $AllUn)
{
   Set-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName $eachuser.UserPrincipalName -UsageLocation "GB"
   Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName $eachuser.UserPrincipalName -LicenseOptions $StaffPlanEdu
}

 

The above removes the Exchange license. To add that add, remove the EXCHANGE_S_STANDARD, part. You'll need your tenancy SKUID (usually your school domain scrunched up like schoolorguk. Then run this via Powershell with the MsOnline module.

 

In this example, my staff are distinguished in Office 365/Azure using the Department attribute set to "Staff".
