License assignment for Education customers
We continue to look at better ways to do license assignment in EDU. The initial scripts provide quick way to do assignment but lacked in granularity. When a customer wants to apply licenses we wanted to look at the source AD to track against a single attribute for the license assignment.
Please follow the instructions in this blog. In it you will prepare AD including changing the script if the attribute (Employee attribute) is not sufficient for your needs). The process looks like the below.
To assign the licenses you will need to provide related data sources that consists of the following components:
- An object identifier
- An operational attribute that describes the SKU you want to assign and the service plans you want to disable
Please remember to use the appropriate SKU for assignment of licenses
