The correct answer is C. the Licenses blade in the Azure Active Directory admin center.
Explanation:
To remove the Office 365 Enterprise E3 licenses from the 2,500 users who were assigned Microsoft Office 365 Enterprise E3 licenses and then assigned Microsoft 365 Enterprise E5 licenses, we can use the Azure Active Directory admin center's Licenses blade.
This method is the least administrative effort as it can be done in bulk for multiple users at once, rather than using cmdlets like Set-AzureAdUser to remove licenses for each user individually.
To remove the licenses, follow these steps:
- Sign in to the Azure Active Directory admin center using your administrator credentials.
- In the left-hand navigation pane, click on "Users" and then "Active users."
- Select all the users who need their Office 365 Enterprise E3 licenses removed.
- Click on the "Licenses" button at the top of the user list.
- In the licenses pane, uncheck the box next to the Office 365 Enterprise E3 license.
- Click "Save" to remove the license from all the selected users.
This will remove the Office 365 Enterprise E3 licenses from all the selected users, leaving only the Microsoft 365 Enterprise E5 licenses assigned.
