How can we improve the tenant admin features O365?

← Office 365 Admin

PowerShell Command to view/deactivate user Office Installations in O365

It would be great if there is a PS command so we can pull out Office Installs per user and also get how many activation that user has (and even deactivate).The way we are doing it now is go to Admin panel -> to the specific User ->and then Office Installs. There is an Office activation build-in Report from O365 but then again we would have to export then filter etc, and if something is changed in meantime we don't have the most recent changes.

    Agreed with all comments below. This command is more than ever a must have and for an admin fully mandatory.
    OFFICE365 pro plus is limited to 5 installations per user, we need to monitor that all the time.

    Agreed!
    Currently, in the administration portal of 365, the assigned license and other additional information are shown in the properties of any user. Some of the information I can see is on which computers the Office has been installed and activated (option "Office Installations"). It shows the Hostnames, the operating systems of those computers and the date of installation. It would be valuable to be able to export this information. If the hostname information is already in the properties of each licensed user and I can see it through the graphical administration interface 365, why can't I export it either from the WEB or through powershell, for example to a excel file?

    Agreed! Having issue at moment where 'something' deactivated devices for users and I can't find all the users with NO activations easily.

    Hello, this is a very useful option because global admins some times need to review or know what about users installation. Please take note to upgrade this possibility by some command of powershell.

    Agreed. We we are automating as much as we can for a client computer decommissioning process, and the ability to script deactivating Office installations for a specific host name would be a big help.
