licensing based on azure ad groups
Hello, I tested licensing based on azure ad groups. It works fine, but I get one big problem. I got 5 E3 license. Now I put 10 users in the group which assigned to the E3 license. After a short ...
In such scenarios, an error will be generated (CountViolation), and you can periodically go over the list of users with errors as detailed here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/licensing-ps-examples#get-all-users-with-license-errors-in-a-group
Vasil - am I understanding this correctly: CountViolation will (eventually) be generated when I have overbooked the number of User SLs for a given service I actually own? So the service isn't actually enforcing compliance (for the underlying User SLs) across the group???
- No, when licensing with groups you don’t get any error presented to you directly when you don’t have enough licenses, like you do when assigning per user! The users will be in an error state as you can see in Azure Ad under Licenses, and as @Vasil said powershell Reports this as a “countviolation”
- In the absence of accurate reporting, this is incredibly troubling.
