I created a script to automatically add E3 licenses for new users and disable the options we don't want then to have. I've tested with a test account and it worked just fine. However, when attempting to run with new accounts, I keep getting the dreaded "Set-MsolUserLicense: Unable to assign this license because the license options are invalid" error. Frustrated, I manually added the licenses to the users in Admin Center.
But then I ran the script again and this time it ran with no errors. So...you can't assign licenses via PowerShell unless you first manually assign them in Admin Center? That doesn't make sense nor explains why the script ran just fine with the test account previously. Below is my script:
$ScriptPath = Split-Path -parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition
$E3 = "Contoso:ENTERPRISEPACK"
$Basic = New-MsolLicenseOptions -AccountSkuId $E3 -DisabledPlans KAIZALA_O365_P3,WHITEBOARD_PLAN2,MYANALYTICS_P2,BPOS_S_TODO_2,FORMS_PLAN_E3, `
STREAM_O365_E3,Deskless,FLOW_O365_P2,POWERAPPS_O365_P2,TEAMS1,PROJECTWORKMANAGEMENT,SWAY,INTUNE_O365,YAMMER_ENTERPRISE, `
MCOSTANDARD,SHAREPOINTWAC,SHAREPOINTENTERPRISE,EXCHANGE_S_ENTERPRISE
$MyUsers = import-csv -path "$ScriptPath\Migration.csv"
foreach($user in $MyUsers)
{
Set-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName $user.Userprincipalname -UsageLocation US
Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName $user.UserPrincipalName -LicenseOptions $Basic
}
