I'm trying to update licenses in bulk for my users who all now have Business Premium. I want to add additional licenses for Entra ID P2, but I'm hitting a wall. When I attempt to validate my query, I keep getting an error message that says "Unable to complete due to service connection error. Try again later." I used this query: (User.assignedPlans -eq (assignedPlan.ServicePlanID -eq "Service plan ID")). I found the Service Plan ID reference here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/users/licensing-service-plan-reference. However, I'm still not getting it to work, even with my Azure portal subscription ID. I've tried various query formats and even consulted chatgpt, but I keep getting the same response. Any help would be appreciated!

Just a heads up: if you're trying to assign Entra ID P2 to users under Business Premium, be careful. You’ll need to remove Entra ID P1 from those Business Premium licenses to prevent any conflicts. You can’t assign the same feature twice, so that’s crucial!
While I can't solve your specific issue, have you considered using dynamic groups to organize your license assignments? This can simplify your user management. It sounds like you've got a bit of a licensing mess with various plans. Moving everyone to Business Premium was a smart move, but now you need to streamline it with dynamic groups. It should make assigning licenses much easier!
That's definitely the goal! I ended up consolidating to Business Premium to clean up the licensing clutter. Now, I just need to set up dynamic groups, but I can't seem to create them because of the assignment failures.
I know about removing P1 first, but my bigger issue is that I can't create a dynamic group for all the Business Premium users. That's where I'm stuck!
