Remove services from O365 license: PowerShell

Hi Community,

Sometimes we need to remove certain services from a license assigned to the users in M365.

There're many ways to do it, ( also the Admin Center ), but today we'll see how to list and exclude the desired services using PowerShell.

First of all, we need to connect to the cloud:

Connect-MsolService

And list our available licenses:

Get-MsolAccountSku | Select AccountSkuId | Sort AccountSkuId

The output should look something like this:

Then we need to list the services included in our desired license:

(Get-MsolAccountSku | where {$_.AccountSkuId -eq "Company:DEVELOPERPACK_E5"}).ServiceStatus

The output looks like this:

Finally, we only need to use the "New-MsolLicenseOptions" cmdlt in order to disable the service/s. We can run it for the license itself and apply to the whole Company or use a variable to assign that license with the disabled service to specific users:

$LO = New-MsolLicenseOptions -AccountSkuId "Company:DEVELOPERPACK_E5" -DisabledPlans "POWERAPPS_O365_P3"
Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName email address removed for privacy reasons -LicenseOptions $LO
