Entra ID documentation clarifies tenant deletion and licensing PowerShell examples

The 9 March period contained two Microsoft Learn updates for Entra ID, with no evidence of a new feature, preview, general-availability launch, retirement, or service-behavior change. The most consequential update adds explicit managed-administrator guidance to the tenant-deletion procedure; the other adjusts a licensing automation code sample.

  Tenant-deletion guidance adds a managed administrative account step

  The Directory Delete Howto now includes a step to create or use a managed administrative account in the tenant being deleted, with an example account format. This is a procedural documentation clarification, not evidence of a change to the deletion service itself.

  Licensing PowerShell/Graph example adds the group ID to its output

  The licensing example now adds a `Group ID` property populated from `$group.Id`. Administrators maintaining scripts or local copies of this example should review the revised code if they need the group identifier in their results; the update does not indicate a change to licensing behavior.
