Script to bulk remove a specific license from specific users

Question

Hi all,

I have using: ## Bulk Remove licenses ## ## Select Csv file $csv = Get-ChildItem -Path C:\temp\Office365Licence\Remove\ -File | Out-GridView -PassThru ## Import Csv $users = Import-Csv $csv.FullName ## Select Account SKU to be removed $accountSKU  = Get-MsolAccountSku | Select-Object AccountSkuId | Out-GridView -PassThru ## Loop through each user in the Csv foreach($user in $users){ Write-Host "Removing $($accountSKU.AccountSkuId) licence from $($user.UserPrincipalName)" -ForegroundColor Yellow ## Remove licence Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName $user.UserPrincipalName -RemoveLicenses $accountSKU.AccountSkuId }

Which removes license off bulk users however only does like 5 before it exceeds limit, i have read somewhere I need to usee the MSgraph to do this but what would the script be?

Hello there,

Check with the below script

# Install the Microsoft 365 PowerShell module if you haven't already
# Install-Module -Name PowerShellGet -Force -AllowClobber
# Install-Module -Name MSOnline -Force -AllowClobber

# Connect to Microsoft 365 using PowerShell
Connect-MsolService

# Define the specific license you want to remove
$licenseToRemove = "ENTER_LICENSE_SKU_NAME_HERE"

# Define a list of user UPNs (User Principal Names) you want to remove the license from
$usersToRemoveLicenseFrom = @(
    "*****************",
    "*****************",
    "*****************"
)

# Loop through each user and remove the specific license
foreach ($user in $usersToRemoveLicenseFrom) {
    try {
        $userDetails = Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName $user

        # Check if the user has the specified license
        if ($userDetails.Licenses | Where-Object { $_.AccountSkuId -eq $licenseToRemove }) {
            Write-Host "Removing license $($licenseToRemove) from $($userDetails.UserPrincipalName)..."
            Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName $user -RemoveLicenses $licenseToRemove
            Write-Host "License removed successfully."
        } else {
            Write-Host "User $($userDetails.UserPrincipalName) does not have the specified license."
        }
    } catch {
        Write-Host "Error removing license for $($user): $($_.Exception.Message)"
    }
}

# Disconnect from Microsoft 365
Disconnect-MsolService


Hope this resolves your Query !!
