Creating a test environment similar to prod - how to license?
Hi, We want to create a test environment to avoid "system wide" settings deploy to production without testing them first (e.g. Kerberos Enforcement or Entra Sync Settings) We would use Windows Trial licenses and Entra Connect to connect to a Testtenant. How must we license this test environment to be compliant with MS licensing? Some say it's Trial and not production "you do not have to". Others say we need to license "like Prod". Can anyone (preferably a Microsoft employee) help with this question? BR Stephan
inTune Licences
HI Everyone, What differences are there between inTune User vs. Device Licences? We are an educational establishment and are looking to use inTune to manage iPads and push out software to shared PCs, so far this is working but we haven't actually assigned any inTune Licences to staff yet...Do we need to get device licences or should user licences cover it? Thanks!O365 E5 Licence report
Hi - I am trying to use Powershell to return a report of all users who have the Power BI pro option enabled under office 365 E5. To clarify, this is not the Power BI Pro licence that can be purchased separately, our users are licenced via their E5 licence. I have tried the following: (Get-MsolAccountSku | where {$_.AccountSkuId -eq "hopuk:ENTERPRISEPREMIUM"}).ServiceStatus This just returns the E5 licence and I can't go down a level into the services beneath it. I've also tried the following (kindly supplied by a colleague): # Connect to the SPO Service Connect-SPOService Connect-MsolService # The license - enterprise pack is E3 and enterprise premium is E5 $AccountSkuId = "<mydom>ENTERPRISEPREMIUM" # The service that you want the script to check - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/enterprise-users/licensing-service-plan-reference $Lserivce = "BI_AZURE_P2" # Get all the users in the tenant, this query takes 1 to 2 minutes $allusers = Get-MsolUser -MaxResults 20000 | Where-Object { $_.isLicensed -eq "TRUE" } # Set counter up $number = 0 $numberofusers = $allusers.count # For each user found foreach ($user in $allusers.UserPrincipalName) { # Add 1 to counter after each user $number++ write "Processing $number \ $numberofusers $($user)" # Get the license details $licensedetails = (Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName $user ).Licenses | Where {$_.AccountSkuId -eq $AccountSkuId} # Get all the services in the license for that user, only return the services that have been activated $service = $licensedetails.ServiceStatus | Where {$_.ProvisioningStatus -eq "success"} # Get just the names of the services for the user stripping everything else out $results = $service.serviceplan.servicename # If the service is found in the list of services do something if($results -match $Lserivce) { write-host $user -ForegroundColor green #export the name to the CSV file $user | Export-Csv -Path "C:\users\licencesexport1.csv" -Append -force } } This site https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/enterprise-users/licensing-service-plan-reference seems to suggest the service should just be called Power BI Pro but that returned an empty CSV which took nearly an hour to run. I can see there is a GUID included in that page too but none of the cmdlets I've tried have seemed to allow me to search for that. Any help greatly appreciated before the laptop goes out the window...!
