How to Register Users in Office 365 with Powershell

As many of you already know, the Office365 platform can perform tasks automatically, which means simplification and time savings.

In today’s post I will explain how to register users in Office365 , as well as their allocation of licenses with PowerShell. In this way, it will be much more comfortable to register users massively than if we did it manually.

Next, I’ll show you the two steps we’re going to follow:

1.Create a CSV File

First, we will create a CSV file with the following name “CreaciónUsusuarioOffice365.csv” and with this data (Here you have the template to download)

DisplayName
userPrincipalName
passwordProfile
GiveName
Surname
JobTitle
Departament
UsageLocation
streetAddress
state
country
physicalDeliveryOfficeName
city
postalCode
telephoneNumber
mail
License
MailNickName

*Note: I have left the link so you can download the file and only have to add the data of the users you want to register in Office365

Here is an example of what the completed data file should look like

2. Script Execution

Once the data is inserted in the file “CreateUserOffice365.csv” we will save it in the My Documents folder.

When we have it saved we proceed to Execute the Script “CreacionUsuarios_V2.ps1“.

$date = Get-Date -UFormat "%Y%m%dT%H%M%S"
$DesktopUser = $env:USERNAME
$File = "C:\Users\" + $DesktopUser + "\Documents\CreacionUsuarioOffice365.csv"
 
$PasswordProfile= New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.Open.AzureAD.Model.PasswordProfile


    $CredO365AD = Get-Credential
    Connect-AzureAD -Credential $CredO365AD
    Connect-MsolService -Credential $CredO365AD

Function LEERUsuarios
{
    $ReadF = Import-Csv -Path $File -Delimiter ";" -Encoding ASCII
    foreach($user in $ReadF)
    {
        $user.userPrincipalName
        IF(Get-AzureADUser -All $true | ? {$_.userPrincipalName -eq $user.userPrincipalName})
        {
               Write-Host "El usuario exite..." -ForegroundColor Yellow
               Modificar

        }
        Else
        {
            Write-Host "`n`tEl usuario no existe" -ForegroundColor Green
            $USer.DisplayName
            $PasswordProfile.Password = $user.passwordProfile
            $USer.userPrincipalName
            
            $user.accountEnabled
            $user.GiveName
            $user.Surname
            $user.JobTitle
            $user.country
            $user.city
            $user.postalCode

            New-AzureADUser -DisplayName $USer.DisplayName -PasswordProfile $PasswordProfile -UserPrincipalName $USer.userPrincipalName -AccountEnabled $true -GivenName $user.GiveName -Surname $user.Surname -JobTitle $user.JobTitle -Country $user.country -City $user.city -PostalCode $user.postalCode -MailNickName $user.MailNickName

        }

    }
}

Function Modificar
{
    Write-Host "Se va a actualizar el Usuarios" -ForegroundColor DarkYellow
    $GetLicense = Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName $USer.userPrincipalName
    foreach($Licenses in $GetLicense)
    {
        IF($licenses.IsLicensed -eq $false)
        {
            Write-Host "`n`t******************" -ForegroundColor Green
           $Licenses.UserPrincipalName
           $licenses.IsLicensed
           $user.License
           Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName $Licenses.UserPrincipalName -AddLicenses $user.License
           Write-Host
           
        }
        Else
        {
           Write-Host "`t`t*****************************" -ForegroundColor White
           $Licenses.UserPrincipalName
           $licenses.IsLicensed 
           Write-Host "`t`t*****************************`n" -ForegroundColor White
        }
        IF($Licenses.UsageLocation -eq $Null)
        {
            Write-Host "`n`t******************" -ForegroundColor Cyan
            Set-Msoluser -UserPrincipalName $USer.userPrincipalName -UsageLocation $user.country
            Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName  $USer.userPrincipalName | where {$_.UsageLocation -eq $null}

        }
        Else
        {
            Write-Host "`n`t******************" -ForegroundColor DarkMagenta
            $Licenses.UsageLocation
            Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName  $USer.userPrincipalName | where {$_.UsageLocation -ne $null}

        }

       

    }
}

While the script is running we can see the result of the “Active Users” management console of Office365
