office365 license add exception powershell Set-MsoluserLicense

Hello All :),

It's been long time since I have posted anything, I have so many draft posts but I will just need to make them proper and publish, but today I just though to give you all a quick info on office365's strange error while assigning licenses to a user, If you admins or programmers have found this strange error while fire the command Set-MsolUserLicense, it some times generate following error

Set-MsolUserLicense : Unable to assign this license because it is invalid. Use the Get-MsolAccountSku cmdlet to retrieve a list of valid licenses

And this is where all the confusion starts, By reading the error it seems that you are trying to give invalid license? you double check and find out that license or SKU is correct, but it keep giving this error if you fire Set-MsolUserLicense command, Well actually you did not do anything wrong, but the error that office365 gives back is misleading and that needs to be understood, it actually is trying to say is

It is trying to say that, this user already has this license and you are again running the command to assign already available license to that user and that is where office365 complains that it is invalid, actually it is already given to a user. :)

So, next time when you spend time troubleshooting issues like this? Please first check if user already has this license available? It was a small post but hope it will help you save little time.

Happy troubleshooting friends !!!

Set up leprechaun code generation with Sitecore XM Cloud Starterkit

Hi Sitecorians, It has been amazing learning year so far and with the change in technology and shift of the focus on frontend frameworks and composable products, it has been market demand to keep learning and exploring new things. Reasons behind this blog Today's topic is something that was in my draft from April-May, and I always thought that there is already a good documentation out there for Leprechaun and a blog post is not needed, Until I realized that there was so many of us facing same kind of issues and same kind of problems and spending same amount of time, That is where I thought, if I could write something which can reduce that repetitive troubleshooting time, That would really help the community. 1) In a project environment, if we get into some configuration issues, we resolve them, we make sure we are not blocked and continue, but if you think same issue, same step and same scenario will come to other people, so if we can draft it online, it will help othe...

Why SitecoreAI - Getting into the shoes of the customer how to select right CMS

Hi Team, Lately, I have been talking to lot of our customers / potential customers and having pre-sales demos where one question always comes is "Why Sitecore" ? Now this question can be for any product which is out for sell. And as a technician I always get into product technical features, but at the same time as a pre-sales guy, it also makes me think, surely all competitive products have same features, so definitely answer to this is not in the technicalities. If you step back and think, we are also a customer in our daily life and buy lot of things, what is that process we go through? When we buy, how can your customer decide if this is a right fit for you or not, why we select A over B? Is it price? is it service? Is it a brand? Is it about features? Is it about brand loyalty? When it is a technical product, I am sure it cannot start with the technicalities of the product or selecting product itself, 100% not, I feel decision is always business strategy first and ...
