Hi All,

May I know how can I recursively or automatically remove all licenses assigned to a user using the [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.graph.users.actions/set-mguserlicense?view=graph-powershell-1.0 ?

Because I am stuck with this error:

Set-MgUserLicense : License assignment failed because service plan fe71d6c3-a2ea-4499-9778-da042bf08063 depends on the service plan(s) 5dbe027f-2339-4123-9542-606e4d348a72

Many thanks for considering my request.

    Here is what I use - setting $_.Userprincipalname to the account in question:

    [array]$SkusToRemove = Get-MgUserLicenseDetail -UserId $_.Userprincipalname

     

    Set-MgUserLicense -UserId $_.Userprincipalname -RemoveLicenses $SkusToRemove.skuId -AddLicenses @() -Confirm:$false
