Hi,

I wrote about an issue in one of the forums and I was told I should better post it here.

What I wrote there:

Hi,

I cannot seem to find a way to change the update path of my Office 365 after setup.

If I install from one location I have to also update only from there and cannot do it from a different location.

If I install from \\server1\o365 and after installation decides to move the update path I cannot change it.

Do you know a way to change that after installation?

This is the other thread: http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/156/t/219743.aspx

Can you please help?

Thanks

Hello

i have an office 365 portal and dirsync setup in my environment. just running 1 DC with roughly 20 users. My questions are:

1. how long does it take to sync a change from local AD to office 365?

2. does this happen automatically or does it have to be pushed. if auto, whats the frequency?

3.  I used the miisclient that came with dirsync, actions -> run... and delta import delta sync. what is the best option to execute to push changes to office 365 and how long does it take to be reflected in office 365

based on my observations, it has take around 20 mins using my way to see changes on local AD to office 365 portal (simple changes like changing UPN).

cheers!!

Hei hei,

As the title states, I am running into issues with the license of users who have a mandatory profile assigned to them. Effectively, whenever they log off a computer, the SCA license that they have just activated gets removed and is no longer available requiring a new activation round.

The environment for the students is: multiple datarooms with laptops & desktops, students do not have a permanent pc. All students have a mandatory profile updated for Windows 8.1. Office 365 is installed with Shared Computer Activation. We do not (yet) use Federated services for SSO between our Domain and Tenant.

Students activate O365 once they logon and this then also connects up their Onedrive area. When they logoff we have seen that their authentication token for O365 does not get retained in "%Users%\<username>\%appdata%\roaming\microsoft\credentials" - the expected TXT files are missing. And under Credential Manager in the Control Panel, there is no credentials stored for the user to "MicrosoftOffice15"

Looking in the registry at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\ClickToRun\Configuration" I can see that the ShareComputerLicense = 1.

I have so far only confirmed that changing a user from a Mandatory profile to a Local profile does retain the license, but I would prefer NOT to have a local profile of each student on a pc...

Does anyone have any suggestions on:

1) Retaining a license for a period of time?

 Ideally we would avoid using a KMS/MAC based Office 2013 license to resolve this issue.

Dear sir

I want to configure ms outlook 2013 as fully and properly

Please help configure ms outlook 2013

Hi,

I get a timeout for the Office 2013 trial download and it does not display the license key. Tried with Win7/IE11 and Mac/Safari/Firefox several times since three days. All run into the same timeout and do not display the key. The download works without problem. It does not seem to be a client-side problem as I've tried with different OSes and Browser. The license keys are displayed for the Office 2010 trial download.

Many thanks,

Fritz

I have a two part question...

1.  We have volume licenses for MS Office 2013 Standard that are used on a Server 2012 R2 Standard RDS server by some of our employees.  We have decided to purchase volume licenses for all employees in the company.  The new licenses will be Office 2013 Pro Plus.  What are my options for updating our RDS server?  Is there a way to update the current install to Pro Plus without an uninstall.

2.  Most of our employees have OEM versions of Office 2010 & 2013 Home and Business installed 32 bit, What are my options for updating the laptops & PC's?  Is there a way to update the current install to Pro Plus 32 bit without an uninstall.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Hi Team,

We have few users who do not check their mailboxes regularly. May I request a script which will send a information email of unread email count to their private email address.

I found few below articles which gives only unread email count, can we add an additional function so that it will send notification email to a given list 

https://smtpport25.wordpress.com/2009/08/24/powershell-to-get-the-number-of-mails-in-the-inbox-and-number-of-unread-emails-in-inbox/  http://www.infinitec.de/post/2011/07/25/How-to-get-the-number-of-unread-mails-from-multiple-mailboxes-using-the-EWS-Managed-API-and-PowerShell.aspx

Thank you.

Hi,

I have created an .MSP file for Off2013 ProPlus using OCT.

The customizations are:

The .MSP file resides at "updates" folder. I only execute setup.exe.

The marked options installs OK (except Lync), the unmarked options not are installed.

Lync 2013 is not installed.

The question is:

How to create the .MSP file using OCT and get Lync 2013 installed?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

    I am trying to setup a single sign on for my sharepoint site that came with Office365. I have setup ADFS in my machine and I have installed Azure Active Directory Module for Windows Powershell.

My environment looks like this:

My office365 domain: sxy.onmicrosoft.com

Sharepoint Online: sxy.sharepoint.com

The domain that my machine is connected to is 

micromania.com

I'm getting stuck running the cmdlet to convert my domain to a federated domain. Powershell Module is installed on the same machine that ADFS is installed on. I will walk you through the cmdlets that I'm trying to run:

$cred=Get-Credential (I am entering my credentials for my Office365 account )

Set -MSOLService -Credential $cred

Convert -MSOLDomainToFederated -DomainName sxy.onmicrosoft.com

I'm getting an error saying:

Convert-MsolDomainToFederated: You cannot convert the specified domain to use identity federation because the account you are currently signed in with is a member of the domain sxy.onmicrosoft.com. Please sign in to the service using an account that is a member of the company administrators role and is not part of the domain sxy.onmicrosoft.com, and then try again.

I tried replacing <sxy.onmicrosoft.com> with all possible domains that I listed above(micromania.com, sxy.sharepoint.com) for which I get an error saying "The domain name does not exist."

I am confused and I don't know what domain name I should replace <sxy.onmicrosoft.com> with. 

So,would very much appreciate your help.

i am just wondering if Powerpivot is available for office 365 home

thanks

That's the error log that I'm getting.

Have no idea what error 17004 stands for and was hoping someone could enlighten me. I've searched all over Google but was only able to find an error description for 17002.

I only get this error code when I'm deploying to my VM so I know it's not a permissions issue, but to be sure I have also double checked that the computer account for SCCM has read/write perms.

Can anyone think of any other possible culprits?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Hi,

we are rolling out Office 365 ProPlus (32 bit) for a customer. Currently we face an issue with the SharePoint 2010 datagrid view:

"The list cannot be displayed in Datasheet view for one or more of the following reasons: A datasheet component compatible with Windows SharePoint Services is not installed, your browser does not support ActiveX controls, or support for ActiveX controls is disabled."

This might very well be an internet explorer security setting but we could not nail it down so far. Did anybody came across this?

Thanks Alex

Hi,

In a xlsm file, I've created a Userform with a WindowsMediaPlayer object.

If I send this file, which has been created on a Excel 32 bits, to a colleague with a Excel 64 bits : no problem, he can open and read the file.

If my colleague "saves as" this file on his PC and send it back to me, I get the following error message just after the warning dialog window about ActiveX :

&H80004005 (-2147467259)

If I remove the WMP object in the Userform and perform the same process, no problem I can read the file when it has been sent back to me.

Any explanation ?

I tried already all the solutions about removing Complements / Add ins etc.

Thank you for your help.

This is a weird problem I've never encountered. I'm doing a rewrite on a 5,000 word document. This means I'm also using tack changes. Whenever I press control backspace or control delete, I delete ONLY the word, and not the included space after the word. This means being left with two spaces between the words and I have to delete one of them.

This hasn't happened in any other documents, and seems to have something to do with track changes. the same happens in every document where I track changes. In addition, when pressing control delete (or backspace) I will get to a point where the keys don't work anymore and I have to move the cursor to another spot in the document.

It also seems to be cause when making large changes when in track changes mode. This causes a large section of the document to show it has been changed. Once you do that, the problem begins. Of course, I could turn off track changes when I make large substitution, but this shouldn't happen.

Hope someone can help. The program is still useable but it definitely becomes a pain.

Thanks,

Hi ...

I set up Outlook 2013 with at pop3 account at outlook.com

I am really flabbergasted that MS is keeping me away from my email, contact, tasks and calendar. I want to get into the exchange servers settings to turn off a forwarding rule ...

I am trying to deploy Office 365 using SCCM. I want to deploy only the setup.exe and install.xml files with sccm (application deployment and not package) and use the sourcepath and updatepath in the xml so the clients get the files from "\\server\share\production". That way I can leverage both delta and branchcache, while having a test environment and a production environment, with easy update management. However:

This doesn't work. The clients get the sccm application, but it immediately fails waying either my internet is messed up or I'm out of diskspace (answer is no, and no):

"Image will be here when MS verifies my account"

Exterp from the log:

The user is local admin and the share has everyone full access (for testing purposes).

The folderstructure is as follows:

\\server\share\application <- setup.exe and xml files

\\server\share\production <- production build

\\server\share\test <- latest build

My Download.xml puts the latest build in the \\server\share\Test folder and the we plan to copy it over into the production folder when testing is done.

I even tested this locally, and it stil didn't work when the setup.exe and xml files were not in the folder with the cab files. It seems that the sourcepath variable is just there for the download part, and not for the configure part.

What am I missing here?
