I have a *.sharepoint.com tenant provisioned through singing up for Office 365. Is there a way to create a new user for the tenant using PowerShell (for SharePoint Online)?
This would normally be done manually by going to the admin panel and going through the options to create a new user (for O365 and Exchange, etc.).
This is done by the PowerShell Script New-MsolUser either by adding the user without a license:
New-MsolUser
-UserPrincipalName [email protected]
-DisplayName "Jamie Warner"
-FirstName "Jamie"
-LastName "Warner"
Or with a license
New-MsolUser
-UserPrincipalName [email protected]
-DisplayName "Dominique Trujillo"
-FirstName "Dominique"
-LastName "Trujillo"
-UsageLocation "US"
-LicenseAssignment "Contoso:BPOS_Standard"
Be sure to install the Azure AD Module first
First, Install Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant.
Then, Run this Powershell :
Connect-MsolService
Get-MsolAccountSku
$val = Get-MsolAccountSku |ForEach-Object {;$_.AccountSkuId;}
$mytnt = $val.Split(":")[0]
New-MsolUser -DisplayName "John Smith" -FirstName "John" -LastName "Smith" -UserPrincipalName [email protected] -Department Operations -UsageLocation US -PassWord myPassword -LicenseAssignment $val
echo "User created successfully"
Pause
