SC-300 Certification Practice Question #82

Question

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

You assign Microsoft 365 E5 licenses to a group that includes all users.

You need to remove the Microsoft 365 E3 licenses from the users by using the least amount of administrative effort.

What should you use?

Accepted Answer

The E5 licenses are now delivered by group-based licensing, so the only thing left is to strip the *direct* E3 assignment from each of 2,500 individual users. MS Learn shows `Set-MgUserLicense` is the Graph PowerShell cmdlet that removes a SKU from a user and explicitly documents a scripted loop (over a CSV/user list) to do this in bulk — the least-effort path for thousands of users. Update-MgGroup manages group objects (and group-based licensing is what *added* E5, not what removes the direct E3), Set-WindowsProductKey is Windows OS activation, and the Licenses blade would require manually touching every user in the portal. Suggested Answer and Most Voted both land on C, fully aligned with the docs, so confidence is high.
