Set-GSUserLicense

[lucafabbri365]

Hello, I'm trying to set a G Suite Lite license for a user. If I run this cmdlet, it works fine:

Set-GSUserLicense -User <PrimaryEmail> -License G-Suite-Lite

...but if I run these other two cmdlets I get different errors:

Set-GSUserLicense -User <PrimaryEmail> -License gsuitelite

Error:

Set-GSUserLicense : Exception calling "Execute" with "0" argument(s): "Parameter validation failed for "skuId""

Questions:

1. Why the gsuitelite value, even if included in ValidateSet list, is not a valid value ?
2. According to these two Google Developers pages Google Product and SKU IDs and G Suite Reseller API the Google-Apps-Lite is a valid SKU ID, but not included in ValidateSet list, why ? Where the ValidateSet list values come from ?

Thank you, Luca

Hey @lucafabbri365 - Those values come from primarily GAMADV-X's list for the same purpose, as their list contains products/sku's not documented and including the same aliases enables easier transition from GAM to PSGSuite.

Checking out why Google-Apps-Lite isn't listed as it's definitely on the source list.

[scrthq]

Alright so they should all be resolving correctly, but obviously that's not happening. Here's replication by using the internal private functions directly; only the G-Suite-Lite value resolves:

Checking this out further, thanks for finding this!

[scrthq]

Got it sorted out, it was only caching the cleaned-up Display Name of the SKU, so valid lookups using the actual name (Google-Apps-Lite) or an alias (gsuitelite) weren't resolving to anything, resulting in the errors you saw. It will be in the next release, keeping this open until it's pushed.

Hello @scrthq, thank you for your feedback. I'm waiting for the latest release.
