O365 Licence count display

Question

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a way to generate a widget type block/or a report on the Adaxes homepage displaying the number of free licences for a specific (or all) o365 licence offerings.

So I know within the Cloud Services configuration I can select/deselect which licences I want to display on a user profile (and can even give them friendly names which is awesome).

However management is keen to move to Group assigned licences rather than user assigned, which makes the licence count/option on a user profile superflous and confusing for some. As an example in the above pic, I'm in a group that will assign a Windows 365 virtual machine to me. But it isn't displayed as I am not a directly assigned a licence in o365.

The licence counts are the most important information if there's a way to report on that.

Thanks, Gary

Hello Gary,

Have a look at the following script from our repository: https://www.adaxes.com/script-repository/microsoft-365-licenses-information-s630.htm.

That's great and works beautifully, however is there a way to exclude certain licences? I don't need them all listed, only a select 5 or 6.

Also as the licences are assigned via groups, is there a way to include the groups that users would need to be added to for the lience to assign.

I'm no powershell expert so it's a little bit beyond my skills.

Hello Gary,

Sorry for the confusion, but we are not sure how exactly you want the groups to be listed. Do you want them to just be displayed as a comma separated list in a dedicated column?

The script you shared brings back all available licences.

However I only want to show the "big ones" like Visio/Project etc. Or user affecting licences, I don't need the report to show Rooms for example, I likely just need to add a filter somewhere in the query, but I'm struggling there.

Also as you can assign licences to groups and add the users to the groups, I was wondering if it was possible to add a column for which group the licence targets.

Hello Gary,

Thank you for the clarification. Unfortunately, there is no possibility to identify the groups associated with specific licenses for assignment. The only option is to predefine the licenses you need and the corresponding groups right in the script itself. Does that meet your needs?
