Hi Guys,

I am trying PowerShell to see what users have no license for 0365 in the customers tenants.
This is easy enough as I can use:

Get-MsolUser - All

However this gives me also the list of shared mailbox's which doesn't require a license.
I had a look and try to find a way to filter out shared mailbox but can't see a way.

Has anyone done this before or has any tips on how I can do this?

Thanks

Shindig

Can you work with something like this

Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -RecipientTypeDetails SharedMailbox | Get-MsolUser | Where-Object { $_.isLicensed -eq "TRUE" }

SharedMail box, change to User

isLicensed -eq FALSE

The little things make the biggest difference.

Thanks yeah I did try that I found the below website which sort of does what I want as well.

https://www.mowasay.com/2016/03/office365-get-a-list-of-shared-mailboxes-that-are-accidentally-licensed/

Sadly i keep getting a error:

Get-MsolUser : The term 'Get-MsolUser' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file or operable program.

Have you used Connect-Msolservice beforehand?

Different connection string than what you'd use to connect to Exchange Online.

Edit:Should have read the script first.

Install Microsoft Exchange Online Powershell Module from the Exchange admin portal, its under Hybrid. (This works with MFA if you have it enabled).

Run the link it creates on your desktop. "Microsoft Exchange Online Powershell Module"

Connect-EXOPSSession

Connect-MsolService

Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -RecipientTypeDetails SharedMailbox | Get-MsolUser | Where-Object
{ $_.isLicensed -eq "TRUE" } - Copied from website, change to fit your needs.

Get-Mailbox and Get-Msoluser are different cmdlets. MsolUser will only return information from Office 365 Admin Center, whereas Get-Mailbox will return from Exchange Online Admin Center or On-Prem Exchange.

So if you use Connect-MsolService you would only be able to run Get-MsolUser unless you had also auth'd against EAC.

does this command get a hit;

Get-Module -ListAvailable | Where-Object {$_ -match "Get-MsolUser"}

If you do not get a hit try;

Find-Module -Name Get-MsolUser

Unusually for Microsoft product it gives a helpful error message.

Obsequious hypocrite
