Office 365 E3 and Office E4 differences

Hi,
What are the differences between Office 365 E3 and Office 365 E4? Any link for this?
What about the Business Intelligence services any differences between E3 and E4?
Thanks in advance

Here is the plan description of Office 365 Enterprise E3 and Office 365 Enterprise E4:
Office 365 Enterprise E3:

Office 365 Enterprise E4:
http://products.office.com/en-us/business/office-365-enterprise-e4-business-software
Leonidas is right that compare with Office 365 Enterprise E3, E4 plan includes Enterprise voice. For Busines Intelligence services, as far as I know, there is no differences between Office 365 Enterprise E3 and E4.
By the way, this is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office client. There is not so much about
Office 365 Plans/Licenses aspects here. If you have any further questions, I would suggest you to post in
Office 365 Community, where you can get more experienced responses:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/default.aspx
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

We have office 365 subscription and we need to merge our Microsoft Dynamics CRM online subscription to office

Hi,
We have office 365 subscription and we need to merge our Microsoft Dynamics CRM online subscription to office 365

Hi there,
If you already have two different Microsoft Online services accounts, then this is no easy task. If you sign up for two Microsoft Online services, using two different Microsoft Online services ID's, you basically need to choose which one to throw away, and
then do a migration from one to another.
If you have a lot of data in both of them, you could cross your fingers, and make a Service Request to Microsoft, hoping that they could do some magic for you, or at least tell you which migration track that's the easiest one.
The important part is that you first sign in to the service you want to keep, and then register for a new one using Sign in, in stead of Sign up. This way they are automatically liked to the same Windows Azure Active Directory tenant.
I hope I understood your question, and was able to help you here.

Office 365 logo and link in suite bar

Does anyone know how I can hide, remove, or change the Office 365 logo and link in the suite bar?
Stefanie Long

If you want to hide those two bars please do the following
1 – Open you site with SharePoint designer
2 – If you are using a sandbox solution go to _catalogs/masterpage/themename
If you are using a farm solution got to _catalogs/masterpage/
3 – Check out and edit in advanced mode the master page you are using
4 – Search for the comment 
5 – Right before it paste the line bellow
<Sharepoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl runat="server" Permissions="ManageWeb">
6 – Search for 
7 – Just below it paste the code
</SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>
The SPSecurityTrimmedControl applied remove the suite bar but could not be used to remove the ribbon bar because SharePoint uses this one to calculate the scroll on the page.
The ribbon bar has to be hidden using a small script.
8 - Search for 
9 – Right below it paste the script
<script type="text/javascript">
var suitebar = $("#suiteBar");
if(suitebar.length<1)
$("#s4-ribbonrow").css('display','none');

Steps to deploy Lync for users who own Office 365 E1/E2 licenses, but don't have Office 365 E3, using Office Deployment tool.

After many hours of debugging with Microsoft support the system to install the Lync Client silently can be done with a SINGLE LINE command. The steps to take are below. It should be an easy next step to put this as GPO installation since
it is a simple command.
Comments appreciated.
side question: Why is there no Lync 2013 or Lync Office 365 forum?
Basic steps to deploy Lync for users who own Office 365 E2 licenses, but don’t have Office 365 E3, using Office Deployment tool.
This also applies for other Office 365 service types where the full office suite download is not included. In April 2015 This was impossible to find online and not know by the Lync support team.
Steps are:
Download the Office deployment tool from
http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=36778 and extract it to a folder. For this
example we will use the \\server\sharename
location.
Extracting it creates a setup.exe file and it show a sample XML file.
2. Create XML file and give it a name such as LyncEntryRetail.xml
Note: The key is the productID that has to be the “LyncEntryRetail”. Other product IDs will download a version that needs another office 365 license. The productID “LyncRetail” needs an E3 license of Office 365.
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath="\\server\sharename" OfficeClientEdition="32" >
    <Product ID="LyncEntryRetail">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
    </Product>
</Add>
</Configuration>
3. From the folder where you extracted the Office deployment tool, run the following command on the command prompt to download the source files and store them on the shared drive:
(on single line)
Setup.exe /download LyncEntryRetail.xml
(This is the name of the XML file created above)
One can also run the same on a server share by using UNC path names such as (on single line)
\\servername\sharename\Setup.exe /download
\\servername\sharename\LyncEntryRetail.xml
(This is the name of the XML file created above)
4. Run the following command on the command prompt on a machine where you want to install the software: (on single line)
\\servername\sharename\Setup.exe /configure
\\servername\sharename\LyncEntryRetail.xml
(This is the name of the XML file created above)
Once you are comfortable that it all works, you may want to edit the XML file if you want to have silent installation and add the following lines.
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />

Office PDF Print and office PDF creator(adobe plugin) create different line thickness result

Hi together,
Office PDF Print and office abobe PDF creator(adobe plugin) create different result. It seems that Adobe PDf creater improves line thickness to 1pt instead of 0,3pt. Is there a setting to change to original 0,3 because this 0,3 are standard line thickness for our documents. with adobe V9 the line was 0,3pt. (we need thin, mid and thick lines)
After 2 day's google searching this is the last change for hope :-)
Software Versions
Windows 7
MS Office 2007 (12.0.6668.5000) SP3 MSO (12.0.6662.5000)
Adobe Acrobat X (10.1.7)
Left: MSO Adobe Plugin / MId: MS Word / Rigth: PDF printed over "print" AdobePDF printer

Hi Bill,
Thanks a lot for the fast reply, i have tested it with 300dpi but I didn't get a different result. The bad thing is that not all lines getting thicker. if there is no arrow or ball at the end of the line the line thickness will not change (see Pic). I think this is a Acrobat error, i don't think that this will improve the pdf quality if the progam changes only some lanes and not all to 1pt.
I Think we must downgrade to version 9.

Hi Alan,
I am sorry for the issue you are experiencing right now.
On Tuesday, August 5, 2013 at approximately 12:45 PM UTC, we receive a report that some of the users were unable to authenticate to the Exchange Online service when using the Outlook client. However, the issue has been restored.
Since you are still having the issue, please follow the steps below to do the confirmation.
1. Please make sure that all Outlook security patches and updates are installed on the affected computer. To check for the latest Outlook updates, please click on the link below.
2. To make sure whether the issue is related to the Outlook client or the service, please try configuring the test account I send you through private message on the affected computer to check whether the issue exists. To check the private message, please follow
the steps.
a. Please go to Your details section on the right side of the community site.

I noticed something a bit strange that SMTP is automatically put in front of the mailbox name.. i haven't seen that before
Went to windows update and there is nothing to install
it's interesting you say the 5th because that is exactly the last day that outlook successfully synced.. it hasn't worked since.. This is happening on 2 seperate computers and stopped working at the exact same time.
Hi Alan,
Thanks for the update.
Based on the currently situation, I understand when configuring the test account provided by Yang Yu the issue persists. And you have a number of tablets and they are working fine. Thus the issue could be related to the certain Outlook client on this certain
computer.
Since we focus on Office 365 issues in this forum, I'm so sorry that I’m not able to provide the detailed instructions.
To provide you with a better service, and sort out this issue more effectively, I suggest you post this issue in the following Outlook forum. The engineers there will help you get the issue fixed in a timelier manner.
Outlook forum:
At the same time, I will also continue doing some further tests and research. Thanks for your understanding and great efforts.
Any community members with related experience on this issue who could share it here are also appreciated.
Regards,
Xinyu

Hi Alan,
According to your description, the Outlook settings seems to be correct in your local machine. And some solutions have been tried to solve this issue:
Create a new Outlook profile, start Outlook in safe mode, clean credentials cache in computer ect.
But the issue persists. Please consider to configure your account on a computer which is working file with your colleague's Office 365 account to check whether the issue continues. If the issue only happens to your account, please access the mailbox in Webmail
and change the password to have a try.

Office 365 (Word) and Onedrive comparability issue

I have successfully used MS Mesh / Skydrive /
OneDrive for years to sync my documents/PDFs folder between my desktop, laptop, phone, and iPad. A month or so ago I purchased Office 365 and it caused all sorts of havoc in my Onedrive folder. The thrust of the issue seems to
involve Office 365 and Skydrive getting in the way of each other while trying to keep the documents up to date. As skydrive tries to upload changes to a folder with Docs in it, a few of the documents will not update (leaving the red mark on the document
icon instead of the blue check-mark showing it is up-to-date). Office 365 share point will also give a list of documents that it was unable to sync (the list matches the trouble files in Skydrive). Once this error hits a file, all of the content
for the document is zero'ed out (and the file size decreases to 0 KB). Thankfully, thus far this has only caused me to lose data from old, unimportant files. This morning I lost data from an important file, but I had a backup of it saved in my
email.
I've tried a bit of my own trouble shooting. At first I thought that the issue revolve around documents created in earlier editions of Word, so I created a folder in my Onedrive that was populated only with Office 365 Word documents, but this
did not resolve the issue.
It seems as if this problem affects documents randomly.
My hunch is that it occurs when Office 365's sharepoint tries to update a file at the same time Onedrive is updating the file.
I also use the iPad app PDF expert to access my skydrive folder on the iPad (because I store PDF's in the folders as well), but I don't believe it to be the issue because: (1) it worked perfectly fine before I installed 365, and (2) the problem
with Onedrive and Office 365 persisted after I disabled PDF Expert's sync with the Onedrive.
Note: Office 365 worked fine until I used it to upgrade the version of Office installed on my computer.
I do not want to be forced to keep my Word documents separate from my Onedrive folder as I store numerous non-Word documents in my Onedrive folder as well and need to save them in folders with Word docs.
Thank you.

The solution is very simple.
You have to install Microsoft OneDrive from the Mac AppStore. It synchronizes your OneDrive folders to the Mac. Afterwards, you usually find a OneDrive folder in your Home folder. From there, you can access all files as usual. If you change any file, it will be synchronized in both ways (Mac to OneDrive, OneDrive to Mac).
I use this on a daily basis and have no problems with it.
Have a nice day!

User Agent Strings for Office 365 Install and Updates

In my organization, we restrict internet access to a specific list of approved applications by user agent string; however, it seems the user agent string for Office 365 (2013) applications has changed over time causing installs and updates of Office 365
on client PCs to fail.
Is there a repository of user agent strings used by Office 365 applications?
Thanks in advance.

Office 365 Portal and Azure

I have a very generic question. If I setup an office portal 365, where does the data for all the office portal 365 features including sharepoint reside? Is it installed in SQL server database on cloud by default? Also, where does Azure come into
play?

SharePoint is a hosted, shared environment. It is not hosted in Azure (with the exception of Fort Knox data, but that data isn't accessible via your Azure subscription). If all you had was SharePoint, the only area where Azure comes into direct play is
that your accounts in Office 365 will be on an Azure AD instance that you can access via the Azure subscription.

Office 365 Lync and AD photo setting.

Hi all
We have Office 365 and ADFS and we use Lync online 365.
How we can force the Lync client using only AD´s photo?
Please help.

From My understanding using Dirsync has limit on the size of photo it can sync from on-premise AD

Office 365 customers can set the thumbnailPhoto attribute in on-premise Active Directory to have user photos synchronized to Office 365 via Directory Synchronization (DirSync). Exchange Online limits photo size to 10KB. The script sample obtains photo size

Office 365 contacts and public folders

Hi all, I am looking for some help with Office 365, detailed below:
We have a CRM system that emails in multiple contacts meant for particular users within the organisation, and we are looking for how to get these contacts automatically added to particular users contacts lists behind the scenes, this will need to be automated
with no input other than initial setup required. Does Office 365 have the capability to manage this.
If you require any more information, please let me know.
Thanks in advance for any advice or assistance.

Hi,
I'm not aware of such an automatic way to have these contacts added to particular users' Contacts folders. The workaround is to import these contacts from a .csv file, but you need to do this manually for several times. Or we can send the .csv file via an
email to the particulars, then let them import these contacts by themselves.

Office 365 Licensing and Powershell

I would like to write a script to create new users in Office 365 and I have almost all of it figured out but I cannot find a way to increase or decrease the license count. Is it possible to purchase more licenses using powershell or do I need to use the
online interface?

Stream 8 Tablet's free one year Office 365 Personal and One Drive extra spaces

1. How to enable the free one year Office 365 Personal subscription? I can only active the trial one month Office 365 Personal subscription.
2. How to active the additional storage space for One Drive with the purchase of the Stream 8 Tablet?

I called HP local support here in Hong Kong January 2, 2015 around 11:00am, after checked with my settings the HP support person promised to email me the solution/fix.
I have yet receive any such respond from HP support.
I have online chat with Microsoft Office online support, they inform me that the activation key should included in the box of the Stream 8 Tablet.
Mind you that it is against Hong Kong law "The Trade Descriptions Ordinance, Chapter 362" for 'Misleading Advertising'.

Office 365 instead of Office Web Apps server?

We don't have an Office Web Apps server deployed. We'd really like to share Powerpoints in Lync with the full user experience, but we don't want to install a standalone server just for Office Web Apps since we wouldn't use it for anything else. We
use Office 365, is there a way to use an FQDN from Office 365 and point to that in topology builder as our Office Web Apps server? We area always loading PowerPoint from the cloud anyways. Is there any way to get around installing a stand alone
OWAS server?
Thanks,
Brandon

No as of today I believe that with Lync server 2013 on premise you do need office web app server on premise

Office 365 downgrade for Office 2010 Product Key

Hi,
I just would like to inquire if it is possible to downgrade the Office 365 that was purchased from a vendor. The vendor specifically assured us that there would be product keys that would be given and we would be able to use it in on our existing Office
2010 products. But unfortunately, it does not work.
The vendor is no longer answering our calls, emails text messages, etc after he has received the payment for the Office 365.
We are located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Who is that vendor? What did they tell you in detail?
In this forum we mainly discuss technical questions about Office products, for the purchase and activation questions, I suggest you contact your local customer service.
You should be able to find your local customer service number from this link:
