Questions About Office 365 Capabilities

I am exploring the possibility of putting our organization's Office on, "the cloud" using Office 365 Enterprise E2. I have some questions that are important. Any help will be appreciate.
1. I have developed extensive VBA "code behind" on Word files and Excel workbooks that do complex operations. For instance, I open our Outlook public folder shared contacts to do searches and populate forms and Excel cells.
I use NPOI calls to create downloadable Excel workbooks, etc. I use calls to SQL to access and query databases and return data. Is the VBA coding supported with Office 365? If so, what restrictions might there be over my current situation,
where Exchange and Office are hosted on our servers?
2. In general, what restrictions will I encounter with Exchange and Office being hosted by Microsoft, versus these tools being hosted on our servers?
Again, crucial questions and I appreciate any help. Thanks.

Question about Lego Mindstorms Capabilities

Hello, thank you for reading my question!
I am currently working on the creation of a teleoperated robotics lab. for a introductory robotics course. I wish to allow students to control a labyrinth-solver robot via Labview, with the Lego NXT toolbox. A computer server will be connected to the Lego via Bluetooth, and the student communicates with the server via a web browser VI (a web published VI). I am interested on the Lego Mindstorm platform but I wanted to ask some questions about its software capabilities:
*Is it posible via a web VI interface for the student to load a program onto the Lego Mindstorm? My idea is to allow the student to load a VI (or the equivalent of a LEGO NXT ".exe")onto the server, and the server to load the program to the Lego. The Web VI already has some parameters the student can change a simple program execution (see [1]), but I also wanted to give the student the chance of loading their own program for more complicated algorithms.
Thank you in advanced for your time and patience!

Questions in Office 365 - Product Office Addins - How Best To Set Up Test & Dev Environments

Hello Team,
One of our customer raised this below query: (Please refer :
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/172/p/290555/887029.aspx#887029)
We have an existing product which has a set of components which are
Office Addins, working on Office 2007, 2010, 2013.
We have a customer who has asked us to support these on Office 365, as their Microsoft strategy is to move to this platform.
Our understanding is that there are two flavors of Office 365:
A browser-based version written in JavaScript (akin to Google Docs)
version which installs the full Office 2013 on the client, using Click-To-Run as the deployment technology.
We are planning to work with option 2 only just now (for Office 2013 only – not for 2010 or 2007).
In order for us to start working on this, we’ll need Office 365 clients installed both in our development and test environments. We see that we can access Office 365 through our MSDN subscription by doing this:
a. Launching this site:
https://mspartner.microsoft.com/en/us/Pages/index.aspx
b. Signing in
c. Clicking on Resources->Access my software and keys
d. Choosing Office 365
However when we do this, we get this information:
"Important Information on activating your cloud licenses Your cloud product key can only be redeemed once. Therefore, in order to activate your Internal-use cloud
licenses on your existing cloud tenant, you MUST sign in BEFORE you activate your 25 digit cloud product key. Once your cloud product key has been redeemed, you will be unable to use it again.
You have the choice to deploy your program license grants as an on-premises only, online only, or an on-premises and online combination solution. Your combined usage
for on-premises Office products and Office 365 may not exceed your program license entitlement. Country and worldwide license maximums apply. To ensure you are compliant with program policy and guidelines, refer to the Product Usage Guide."
We are not clear on what the above means for us exactly, and which option we should choose: on-premises only, online only, or an on-premises and
online combination solution.
Please advise. Many Thanks.

Hello Balamurugan,
The current forum is for developers. I'd suggest asking non-programming questions on the
Office 2013 and Office 365 ProPlus - Planning, Deployment, and Compatibility
or
Office 2013 and Office 365 ProPlus - Planning, Deployment, and Compatibility
forums instead.

Question about Dreamweaver CS3 capabilities

I am a new user of Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 and I was wondering
if it is possible to create a website where people can leave
comments directly on the site. If this is possible, how is it
done?

Can you imagine the mush that looking at this WordPress site
would make of a
new user's brain?

Some basic questions about Reports' chart capabilities

Hi,
I'm currently surveying my options for a web based application that we are developing that requires reports with charts in HTML, PDF and Excel format.
As the application is being built around 9i DB and AS it would be great to take advantage of the functionality already available to us, but I wanted to clarify the following to determine if I need to also use any external packages to support my needs:
(1) With Oracle Reports, when charts are embedded in a PDF are they generated as bitmap or vector diagrams?
(2) I've searched around the OTN and couldn't find a complete list of the charts available within Reports - is such a list available anywhere? Are there any samples anywhere so I can get a feel of the "aesthetic" qualities of the output of Reports?
(3) Do charts support any image map or DHTML features (ie. mouseover to get textual display of numeric values).
(4) Does Reports support an Excel export capability. I don't mean a simple CSV dump of data - I mean a fully formatted Excel spreadsheet with charts, etc.
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
cheers... adam.

Hi,
(1) With Oracle Reports, when charts are embedded in a PDF are they generated as bitmap or vector diagrams? With Oracle Reports 9i, Charts are generated as gif files during the generation of PDF files, but the gif files are deleted after the PDF is generated, they are embedded in the PDF file.
(2) I've searched around the OTN and couldn't find a complete list of the charts available within Reports - is such a list available anywhere? Are there any
samples anywhere so I can get a feel of the "aesthetic" qualities of the output of Reports? Oracle reports 9i is integrated with bi bean, the complete list of the charts (bar, area, line, pie, ...) is available on Bibean doc. You can take a look at http://otn.oracle.com/products/bib/content.html.
(3) Do charts support any image map or DHTML features (ie. mouseover to get textual display of numeric values). With Oracle Reports 9i, charts support image map and hyperlink. But you need to specify when you create the chart.
(4) Does Reports support an Excel export capability. I don't mean a simple CSV dump of data - I mean a fully formatted Excel spreadsheet with charts, etc. You can't put report with charts in Excel spreadsheet.

How to determine who has activated Office 365 ProPlus?

Is there a way to see who a copy of Office 365 ProPlus has been activated by, without logging into the user's Office 365 portal? Does this get tracked in some report, or some registry key? Thanks.

Hi,
In the current forum, we mainly support Office Client Applications, since we are talking about the activation question about Office 365, I suggest you post the question in Office 365 Community to get the proper support:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/default.aspx
We may need to contact the customer service to get more information about the activation questions:

How to know via PowerShell "did user install office on his computer with office 365 or not"

Hello. Sorry for my english.
Subject: How to know via PowerShell "did user install office on his computer with office 365 or not"
I set to users Office 365 ProPlus license, that allows a user to install Office on up to five computers. I want to know, user use this opportunity or not, install office or not.
User can view his installation in the Office 365 portal:
But how I (like admin Office365) can view this information? Maybe via PowerShell?
Thank you...

Hi,
Please see the
blog, I copied the part of here:
====
Viewing a list of Office 365 ProPlus installations
A user can see which computers she has installed Office on by signing in to the Office 365 Portal and going to the
software page.
Only the signed in user can see this information. Even if you are the administrator for your organization's Office 365 subscription, you can't see this information in any of your Office 365 administrative views. This also means you can't deactivate
a user's installation of Office on a specific computer. More on deactivation in a bit.

If you have further question about Office 365, I recommend you post the question to Office 365 forum:

Office 365: some basic questions

Hi,
I've read somewhere that Office 365 will offer unlimited storage via OneDrive.
If that's true, I'd like to sign up for an paying account.
I had a trial running some time ago for my private domain but didn't continue the trial.
What I'd like to have:
-unlimited storage for best price
-use my own domain in my mailaddress/outlook account => then I'd need a business account?
-share documents from onedrive to people who don't have a onedrive
Please advise.
J.
Jan Hoedt

Hi Jan,
Here are a few references for your question:
All Office 365 customers will get unlimited OneDrive storage at no additional cost, Microsoft has just announced this:
https://blog.onedrive.com/office-365-onedrive-unlimited-storage/
You can add a domain that you’re already using for email into Office 365 and use it with email and other services:
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Add-your-domain-to-Office-365-ffdb2216-330d-4d73-832b-3e31bcb5b2a7?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
Of course, you can share a document to people for unauthenticated access, you can do this by creating a gest link.
By the way, this is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office client. There is not so much about Office 365 subscription/plan aspects here, I would suggest you to post in the dedicated
Office 365 Community, where you can get more experienced responses:

How to enlarge and centralise the 'Content Area' in an Office 365 webpage

Hi, I'm relatively new to O365 and I'm working on our webpage
The issue I have is that you have the Content Area but that seems to be about 1/2 an inch in from the left hand screen and only covers approx. 75% of the screen, what I want is the content area to be about 1000pixels wide and centralised.
I've tried looking at the CSS style sheet but there doesn't seem to be anything that helps me to do either of the above tasks.
Any help would greatly be appreciated, thanks.

This questions is definitely not about Office client, if you are customizing your own website, I suggest you post the question in Office 365 Community to get specific support:

Office 365 updates

I have recently installed office 365 using the office deployment tool and downloading the files to a server share so I can deploy the files on each client machine as necessary.
My question is now, how do I update office 365? Is it through another command like //servershare /download //servershare/config.xml or a scheduled task or just something completely different.
I have been searching the internet for days now and it only tells me how to update the client from the server.

Hi,
By default, Click-to-Run for Office 365 installations are automatically updated. The automatic update process detects and downloads the new data in the background. The updates are installed in the background as soon as the download is completed.

Office 365 E3 subscription / Terminal Server / Office Professional Plus 2013

Hi,
Background info:
We use multiple Office 365 E3 subscriptions (12 now) and also have an Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server.
The users may install Office 365 Pro Plus on their local machines and are able to connect to SharePoint online with the Office applications. Now not everyone has a PC so they log in to one of the two Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Servers. I do
however want one big happy family working with SharePoint so I installed Office Professional Plus 2013 and tweaked the Group Policies so that the start up screen and movie arent beeing showed.
When I log in with my test user on the Terminal Server (who has a E3 subscription) I miss the feature to add a location (to connect to the SharePoint site). I just do not have that feature. When I log in with my domain administrator account who also
has an E3 subscription, I am able to add a connection.
There is SO much info on the web about Office 365/Terminal Servers etc but I am not able to find what I was looking for.
Question:
What do I need to do so our Domain Users who log in to the Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server are able to open/save files directly to the SharePoint site? How do I add the SharePoint location?

Wrong forum :)
You should either go to the Terminal Services (RDP) forum or Office 365.
Good luck with your issue.

Office 365 hybrid deployment setup

We are currently migratin to Office 365 from ExchaNGE 2003 USING AN Exchange 2010 Hybrid server.
When running the hybrid configuration wizard, we get the following error:
Updating hybrid configuration failed with error 'System.Management.Automation.Remoting.PSRemotingTransportException: Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : The server certificate on the destination computer (ps.outlook.com:443)
has the following errors:
The SSL certificate could not be checked for revocation. The server used to check for revocation might be unreachable. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
We are not using a proxy server and we have no blocks in our firewall. We did a packet capture and the traffic indicates Our exchange server is not accepting the cert sent by ps.outlook.com. Client and server do the SSL handshake and after receiving the

Any idea on how to resolve this?

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:
