While performing for a list of user it shows error cannot bind argument to parameter userprinciple name because it is null.

Azure is able to read my txt file also if a perform for single user we are able to remove licenses but I have 1200 user list.

Want to do it ASAP.Please help.

Hi Shivam,

To bulk remove license, please follow the steps below:

1. Connect to an Office 365 account:

$UserCredential = Get-Credential

Connect-MsolService -Credential $UserCredential

2. Create a .csv file to list all accounts. You can download the example file to see the format and add accounts into it.
3. Import the .CSV file to $user

$Users=Import-Csv C:\the path of the .csv file\test.csv

4. Remove license:

$Users | ForEach{Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName $_.UserPrincipalName -RemoveLicenses AccountSkuId}

Note: replace AccountSkuId for your license plan. Use Get-MsolAccountSku to get  AccountSkuId.

If the issue persists, welcome back with a screenshot about your script.

Linda
