Office 365 License Reporting
This is not that straight forward, may be Microsoft is assuming any applied license has all services enabled in it, Which cannot be true everytime, I have following requirement to prepare a report showing user name user email user location user license info for each service enabled for e.g. username user-email location license user1@corp.com firstname.lastname@corp.com country/code E3-Teams,E3-Onedrive,E5-Exchange etc..O365 Enterprise Plans & Business Plans!! Which one works with EM+S??
Howdy Folks, Good Afternoon! As I am aware of this subject that Microsoft O365 Enterprise Plans only works with EM+S and not with the O365 Business Plans!! But still to let the customer know properly about it! Can I get a proper document on it that EM+S only works with Enterprise Plans!!Simplify O365 / M365 Licensing ?
1. I have about 4k users enabled for O/M 365 today 2. I am using group based licensing as of today to assign licenses to all users 3. Due to requirements in my org i already have upto 27 groups based on the services to be enabled for a group of users ? 4. I am finding it way to difficult and complex now to maintain and manage who has what 5. I worsen's when there is request for bulk users to be switched from category of license to another say from E3 to E5, i have ensure all E3 based groups user is a part of must also be switched to E5 based groups 6. Does Microsoft has any plans to come out with some UI to simplfy this or further more some PS way to make easier for admins to manage licensing BR, /HS
Defender for macOS onboarding issue
I am trying to onboard macOS devices in my organization with Microsoft Defender via Intune, and facing multiple issues with it, the configuration profiles are applied successfully only on few devices, only the first (manually installed) macOS is properly onboarded in Defender, and all of the other ones are complaining about missing license. Could someone answer few questions and maybe give some tips on how can I troubleshoot and resolve this: We have Microsoft 365 Business Premium license, and according to Defender documentation this is a sufficient license to use it on any endpoint device. However the error message on macOS devices states that there is a missing Microsoft Enterprise license. Is there a special license needed or is this just the payload configuration profile issue? The kernel extension and onboarding profiles are generated in the Microsoft Defender Admin Center, however I did noticed that the OrgID in the onboarding profile file does not match my TenantID. Does that mean that those files are premade and I should adjust them to my organization details or it is simply a different ID assigned? The onboarding profile gets successfully applied on all devices however the kernel extension profile fails on almost every device, and the successful applications do not follow any pattern or macOS version. Can't really find any suggestions on the possible root cause of this issue. Did anyone had similar problems with the kext profile? The Microsoft Defender Admin Center does provide a installation package PKG file. However according to the Defender documentation I should use Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (macOS) application that is ready to be applied directly from Intune Management Portal. Which is it? Or maybe both? Thank you in advance for any tips and / or answers 🙂Mixed Business Premium and Enterprise Licensing - limitations?
Hi all, Hoping someone with experience or deep unpicking of Microsoft licensing spots this. We recently stumbled into the pain point of Defender for Endpoint being limited in a tenant if there are any Business Premium licenses present (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-business/mdb-faq?view=o365-worldwide#what-happens-if-i-have-a-mix-of-microsoft-endpoint-security-subscriptions) Are there any other limitations applied to tenants or users in terms of feature limitations if there is a mix of Business Premium and Enterprise licensing in place? Given the arbitraty limitation applied to Defender for Endpoint I would expect there to be similar compliance limitations, maybe storage, auditing, and other areas?
