SC-300 Certification Practice Question #32

Question

You have 2,500 users who are assigned Microsoft Office 365 Enterprise E3 licenses. The licenses are assigned to individual users.

From the Groups blade in the Azure Active Directory admin center, you assign Microsoft Office 365 Enterprise E5 licenses to a group that includes all users.

You needed to remove the Office 365 Enterprise E3 licenses from the users by using the least amount of administrative effort.

What should you use?

Accepted Answer

The E3 licenses were assigned to individual users (direct assignment), and the Groups blade governs group-based (inherited) licenses, not direct assignments — so removing 2,500 direct E3 licenses programmatically with a single cmdlet is the least-effort path among the listed options. Both the official Suggested Answer and the community Most Voted (8 votes) land on D, and even the A-voters concede the cmdlet does remove licenses. Confidence is held at 84 (not higher) because Set-MsolUserLicense is deprecated in favor of Microsoft Graph's Set-MgUserLicense, and a minority argues the GUI is easier — but among the four options as written, D remains the correct removal mechanism for individually assigned licenses.
