How to specify which objects get licensed

We have a certain amount of licenses. We recently integrated with EntraID and all the objects got auto-licensed. We only want user accounts (no mailboxes/no guests accounts etc) to consume a license. I can do this manually but it will get very tidious any time a guest account or new object is created in Entra. Is there any way to specify a rule for this?

Hello,

Adaxes is licensed based on the total number of enabled and not expired user accounts in all the managed domains. As an option, you can add some users to the unmanaged list so that they are not counted towards license validation. In your case, a scheduled task and a PowerShell script should be the best solution. For details, have a look at section Add automatically in bulk of the following article: https://www.adaxes.com/help/AddUsersToUnmanagedList/#add-automatically-in-bulk.

Similar to Powershell's "whatif"? I'd like to enable this scheduled task - But would like to confirm who will actually be affected before enabling this. Is there at least ... objects in the console log? I could run that before adding the 'modify' actions back.
