Active Directory x O365 Licences
Hello people,
I would like to know if it is possible for me to assign an Office 365 license to a user through AD. As soon as the user was synchronized, it would be created in the portal and added to the license?

- So I suppose the group-based license will require AD premium subscription (always nice to state in case one makes a decision). The script might come for free, but you need to ensure proper running (and what happens in case of failure) and security.
We also have the possibility to use the recently introduced group-based license management feature. Read more here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Office-365-Blog/Big-Updates-to-Office-365-Identity/ba-p/50400
Or the detailed documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-licensing-whatis-azure-portal
I read that documentation, and I created a group on my local AD. After syncronization with O365, I licenced the group with E1 plan. After that, I add one user in the group, but the licence wasn't applied for this new user after sync.
Hi Walter,
You can a create a script to do that in a schedule on your AD Connect server that does that.
