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.

Office 365 Shared External Contacts - how do I delegate Edit and Update permissions to users

Hello
Office 365 Shared External Contacts - how do I delegate Create/Update/Delete/Edit permissions to users who are not Admins? These Contacts are in the Global Address List. Not Outlook personal Contacts. O365 Small Business Premium

Hi,
To grant users delegate permissions, open Outlook, go to FILE -> Info -> Account Settings -> Delegate Access -> Add -> Search and add the user, click OK -> Edit the permission of the user. We can set different permissions in the dropbox
of Contacts.
There are four permisssions for Contacts:
1. None
2. Reviewer (can read items)
3. Author (can read and create items)
4. Editor (can read, create, and modify items)
Select the permission that you want to grant the user.
We can also modify the permission later in this section.
I hope the information is helpful, if I misunderstood anything, feel free to correct me and provide more detailed description of the question.
Regards,
Melon Chen

I'm looking for some inspiration here on how best to set up my TC

Copied from a post else where, any help greatly appreciated!!
I'm looking for some inspiration here on how best to set up my TC for my needs & wondering how others do for similar needs....
I have a 2TB TC that I have set up so that all of mine & my girlfriends photo's, music, movies & documents are on the one location so that we can access it wirelessly from both our MacBooks & also from a MacMini which I'm going to buy in a month or 2. Changing the location for where iTunes & iPhoto look wasn't a problem but browsing through iPhoto in particular is really slow due to the number of previews I presume, and also we are now unable to have any of the media with us when traveling about, synching phones on the move is a disaster as well!
Anyway,
is there an easy way of setting up iTunes / iPhoto so that we can have all the data on the TC managed on the MacMini but import small iTunes Playlists & iPhoto Albums to our MacBooks without having to change in preferences where the applications look for data each time we get home?
Any help anybody can offer would be grand!
Thanks in advance.........

You topic might be better suited for the iPhoto or iTunes forums, since your question seems to be with the application(s) functionality, not really the Time Capsules. However, if you start iPhoto or iTunes while holding down on the "option/alt" key, you can manually select a library to access. When you want one of your computers to access the library on the Time Capsule, make sure it's mounted as a shared volume on your Desktop and then open iTunes and point it towards the library on the Time Capsule. If you want to use a smaller library on your computer, open iTunes and point it to the library on your Mac. I've never switched back and forth multiple times between multiple libraries, so you might check in the iPhoto or iTunes forums to see if any issues may arise from doing this repeatedly.

Mountain Lion, Time Machine and How Best to set up an external HD?

Hello,
I'm just about to upgrade to Mountain Lion. (2011 MBP running Lion). Before I do that I would like to back up with Time Machine. My question is how best to set up the external HD before I back up and then upgrade.
The hard drive is brand new and I haven't formatted it for use yet. It is 1TB in size and the hard drive on my MBP is 500GB (currently using around 300GB).
Am I right in thinking that Time Machine will overwrite older back ups if there isn't sufficient space on an external hard drive?
How would you use the new set up the new, obviously larger, external drive. I was thinking of possibly partitioning it 750/250 and utilising the 750 for time machine back ups and the 250 for other stuff.
Any thoughts?
Cheers

Migration of email from GoDaddy's Office 365 product

We currently have Office 365 email accounts purchase from GoDaddy. We're not happy with their service and want to migrate to Microsoft. I know that Office 365 from both companies is the same on the back end but what is needed to move our domain
so that email downtime is minimized? Will migration take longer than what would be expected for DNS propagation? Also, current MX record is [DOMAIN].mail.protection.outlook.com. What should the new MX record be?

you can try using third party tools to do the content migration between the sites in office 365.
Check MetaVis http://www.metavistech.com/category/tools-office-365
ShareGate is another tools http://en.share-gate.com/features

Project Pro for Office 365 without Office 365 subscription

I've been looking for hours and can't determine if I have to have an Office 365 subscription to purchase Project Pro for Office 365. I have a user at our organization that needs Project Pro. There are no Office 365 accounts. The price point
of <$30/month seems more attractive than the $1,200 up front cost.
If I do need an account, does that mean I have to pay for the cost of an Office 365 account as well, or is that included?
Can there be an Office 365 account on a computer already running Office 2013? or will it conflict with products already installed? I can't believe there's no readily available answers anywhere on their website or under the product information.
Everyone just seems to assume that you're running Office 365 already.

I believe you can purchase Project Pro through a subscription without also purchasing Office 365 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). What is not included if you don't have an Office subscription is you wouldn't have SharePoint nor Lync nor Excel (used for Visual
Reports in Project).
I agree the documentation is confusing but I think the reference to Office 365 is the deployment method of running Project as an SaaS (software as a service) application.
It is reverse of what you are talking, but I successfully run Project as an MSI installation alongside an Office 365 subscription.
One way to check its functionality with your current installation is to install a trial version.

Office 365 against Office 2013

Hello,
I plan to procure 60 new PCs for my office. I need to also buy MS Office licenses. Currently, we have 25 Office 2013 Std.(perpetual) licenses. We will mostly use Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. We do not want to use cloud storage.
In my scenario, I will buy 12 Office 365 licenses and use/install on all new 60 PCs(5 PCs per username). This is legal ?
To avoid cloud storage, I have disabled/unchecked "Office Online" and "OneDrive for Business" in "Assign License" window. Is this correct?
Am I understanding this Office 365 license model correctly? Please help/suggest.
Many thanks for help.

Hi,
You may have heard that Office 365 allows a user "get the full, installed Office experience on 5 PCs or Macs, 5 tablets (including iPad® and Android™ tablet) and 5 phones", but we don't suggest our users to share a licence with 4 other users. To
get the best user experience, purchase one licence for each user.
As this question is actually about licensing, the best approach is the local customer service, contact them to ask for the best plan for you. We mainly discuss questions and feedbacks about the Office client in the current forum.
You can find your local customer service number in this link below:

Office 365 to Office 356

Well there is an issue with that. We have to loose the current domain name and register for a new one. It is just 6 users.
I was thinking either go for office 365 or exchange online. But in both cases I would require to migrate the current mailbox of each user.

One of my clients already has a domain and is running office 365, now they want another domain and another office 365 subscription. The thing here I need your assistance is in how do I migrate the mails, calendars and contacts of each user from one office 365 to another office 365.

Office 365 with Office 2013 MSI Language Pack on Windows 7 machine.

Hello All,
I have Office 2013 MSI Language Pack installed on Windows 7 machine. After deploying Office 365 using ODT, Lync is crashing.
Is Office 2013 MSI Language Pack compatible with Office 365?
Thanks in Advance !!

Hi,
Have you checked the log file? Does it record the error details there?
So you only have the language pack on your computer, not the entire Office 2013 instance? Office 2013 MSI Language Pack doesn't work with Office 365. Try to remove the language pack then try again.
Also, to plan a multi-language deployment of Click-to-Run-based Office installations, please refer to this article:

How do I set up a dev site so that I don't screw up my podcast feed?

I want to "do the right thing" and set up a dev site for my active site. My concern is that if I have the dev site fully production ready (w/ all the right settings, etc), it will ping iTunes and other podcast directories.
Is that okay? Is iTunes smart enough to realize that it's the same info and not push duplicates?
-or-
Will I have to leave all the settings turned off and fill all of that in once I move the dev site to the production site?
Thanks for the help,
Josh

Pinging iTunes will have no effect - the facility to draw attention to your feed by pinging was removed around a years ago. In any case, if there is no feed of that name iTunes would ignore it anyway.
You can only get your podcast into the iTunes Store by going through the submission process: you don't want to do this with a test feed.. If you want to test it you can subscribe manually, from the 'Advanced' menu - this is a good way of checking it's OK. The effect is the same as subscribing from the iTunes Store for a working podcast, but is entirely local.
You can also check it at http://www.feedvalidator.org
I can't answer for any other podcast directories.

We have three Ipads in our house. We have one itunes account with multiple devices like two Iphones and Apple TV. My question is about our three Ipads. How can I set up the imessaging and facetime on all three devices while only using one Itunes acct

Okay. We have three Ipads in our house with only one Itunes account. When I go into imessaging and facetime on each of the devices, it wants to start switching my wife's cell phone and then the three emails associated with each Ipad to the contact information for all of the Ipads. As of this morning, only the imessaging and facetime are turned on my wife's iphone and ipad. My kids imessaging and facetime is turned off. Do you really have to have an itunes account for each device to make then work??? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Ryan

There is only one solution. Each user must have their own separate user account. All of their respective data would be contained in their separate user accounts. This also means each will have a separate iTunes Library. If you all use the same third-party apps, then each will have to purchase their own copies under their own Apple IDs. Some data sharing is possible. See:

Airport Extreme to extend wireless – How best to set this up?

I added an Airport Extreme to my ISP Service provider box in order to extend my home / home office networking capabilities. Currently I have a MBP (May 2010 model) with ethernet & wireless; a PBG4 (Feb 2005 model) with ethernet & wireless; an eMac (Feb 2005 model) with JUST ethernet; and an iPad3 (March 2012) with of course just wireless. But I am not certain that I have set this up optimally. Here's what I have done and if anyone could comment on this it would be greatly appreciated!
I have my ISP's modem "B-box" (which has 2 ethernet ports OUT plus its own Wireless) which I have used the past year. The problem is range for wireless and extending ethernet (via cable) to the 3 levels of the house. So I added an Airport Extreme to solve that issue and believe I am almost there! The house has 3 levels and I will call them Level A (basement, underground); Level B (ground floor) and Level C (upstairs). Without Airport Extreme it is possible to get wireless on on 3 levels, but it drops-out often in my main, office (Level-A) location so that was the incentive to get good wireless everywhere using the Airport Extreme.
Here's my setup today:
ISP "B-box" (as it is called) located on Level B and emits a wireless signal and I have called that SteveBelWiFi     ---There is an ethernet cable that goes down to Level A.
On Level A I have my home office with a MacBook Pro-13" (May 2010) running Mountain Lion 10.8.2. The Ethernet cable from the B-box arrives in my office and is plugged into the WAN port of my new Airport Extreme.
From this Airport extreme I have the following setup: (there are 3 ethernet out ports on the Airport Extreme - 5th generation - most recent model)
Ethernet cable #1 plugged into my MBP
Ethernet cable #2 running to Level C where it is plugged into an eMac (Feb 2005)
A USB cable going from the USB Out port on the Apple Extreme to an unpowered USB hub
From the hub, one USB cable to my Canon MP640 Printer/Scanner*
From the hub, one USB cable to a 300 mb LaCie external Hard Drive
Ethernet cable #3 plugged into the ethernet port of my Canon MP630 Printer/Scanner *(Needed because when one attaches a printer/scanner to the Airport Extreme via USB it can only print, not scan, so I configured the scanner portion of the MP640 to run via ethernet…)
WIRELESS: I used Airport Utility to CREATE A WIRELESS NETWORK (not "extend a wireless network") and so I now have these 2 additional wireless network choices for my Macs or iPad: Steve Airport WiFi     and also via the Airport Extreme:   Steve Airport WiFi 5GHz
What I would prefer is to have ONE wireless choice instead of 3. So I am guessing that I could re-setup the Airport Extreme by choosing "Extend a wireless network" (instead of what I did "create a wireless network") so that the SteveBelWiFi is then simply the ONLY wireless choice. BUT how will this work? The B-box is still emitting a signal on level B -- correct? If I "extend" the wireless, I see that I get to choose an existing wireless so I would choose SteveBelWiFi
WELL NOW I'VE GONE AND MESSED-UP EVERYTHING!!!!!!   Before submitting this questions I decided to try to change to "extend a wireless connection" and I chose the      only to get a warning message that this couldn't be done and then a yellow triangle with an "!" inside next to my Airport Extreme. I did a "factory reset" like this:
To perform a factory default reset on the AirPort Extreme:
First remove power from the Extreme.
Using a paperclip or similar object, depress the reset button, and while still depressed plug the Extreme into power.
Keep the reset button depressed until the status light on the Extreme starts flashing rapidly, and then, release the reset button.
BUT NOTHING-- Airport Utility DOES NOT FIND my Airport Extreme - the only way I can now connect to the internet is to plug-in my B-Box ethernet cable directly to my MacBook Pro. Everything else-- gone.
WHY WON'T Airport Utility re-find my Airport Extreme when I do the reset? I let it glow with the amber button for over 10 minutes, - NOTHING.
Really lost, depressed and fully not understanding this now…
Truly need serious HELP here-- I'm almost shut-down…
Thanks anyone,
Best regards,
Steve Schulte
Thursday 10 January 2013

I left-out one thing: Prior to the factory when I was trying to choose "Extend a wireless Network" I of course chose SteveBelWiFi

Steve

How best to set up multiple time capsules for multiple needs?

There is so much good information on these discussions about using TCs for extenders or external drives - I am hoping to do both so will ask my own question here. BTW, this is my very first post so please be patient with me if I do not include something important.
I have a 1/2 gen (2007) Airport extreme and a 5th gen (2011) 2 tb TC. I am buying a 6th gen (2013) 3 tb TC because I am getting the new Macbook Air and want to take advantage of the new ac wireless. I have 2 apple TVs and 1 iMac plugged directly into my home ethernet network (if I'm saying that right - they are plugged into the wall). We have iphones, ipads, and an old macbook as well that all plug in wirelessly. Below is what (I think) I would like to do in the order I think I would have to do it. Could you help me understand if (a) this makes sense, and (b) if so, how do I accomplish these steps?
1. I unplug the 2 old units (2007 and 2011) and set them aside for the moment.
2. I plug in the new 6th gen TC to my modem and follow set up instructions to make it my backup area for iMac, Air, and old Macbook. I assume I need to do this because I want it to be the primary right?
3. I want to use the 2011 TC as a hard drive - I will be transferring all photos and 2 iTunes libraries (mine and my husband's) to it. We watch lots of movies so that is the main use. I think I would want this plugged directly into an ethernet port in the wall so it will be quickest for Apple TVs to access right? Or would it be better (fastest access) to connect it directly to the new TC or even the iMac? Is there something I need to do to make it an external drive rather than TC?
4. I would also, if possible, like to use the 2011 TC as an extender into a far room in the house. Could I simply plug it into an ethernet port in that room and it magically becomes an extender too? Would this not be ideal for some reason, like it is slower to access? Note that this is not terribly necessary but would be nice if easy.
6. Would it make sense for me to plug in the 2007 unit in a far room upstairs to serve as an extender up there?
Thank you so very much in advance.

There are a few things to get straight..
This is pedantic but heck I post too much..
The Gen of the TC is one behind the Extreme.. so a Gen6 AE = Gen5 TC.
Totally pedantic.. but it keeps me happy.
3. I want to use the 2011 TC as a hard drive - I will be transferring all photos and 2 iTunes libraries (mine and my husband's) to it. We watch lots of movies so that is the main use.
I would like you to rethink this.
You can do it.. but I think you are misunderstanding how iphoto and itunes work.
Your Apple TV never connects to the library of itunes..
And
Your TC is not a media player.
So all files stored on a TC are going to flow like this..
TC(ituneslibrary)---Computer (itunes)---stream---TC(network)----ATV.
If you remove the computer.. then you have nothing.
The TC is not a great place to store the itunes library for the following reasons.
It is slow.. much slower than local hard disk.
It is slow to spin up .. causing itunes issues with losing the library.
It is fast to spin down.. so streams get lost.
It has no backup.. and Time Machine cannot backup network drives. That means one day you will wake up.. TC will be dead.. (they do not last forever so this is 100% certain to happen).. And your library is gone. Apple offer no recovery service.. and it costs a small fortune to recover files.. without any guarantee of success.
iphoto is even worse.. it is strongly recommended NOT TO USE NETWORK to locate the iphoto library. It corrupts easily and a small corruption makes the entire library unreadible.
Since you have imac it is better to use an external drive for libraries.. use the fastest port available and you can afford.. ie Thunderbolt>USB3>FW800>USB2
Only the very latest Macs have USB3 but it kills the earlier USB2 and Firewire. And for many people will be as fast as Thunderbolt which is the tops but uber expensive.
Then the TC serves its correct function as TM backup.
You can share this hard disk to the network if you want other computers to access it.
You can store multiple iphoto or itunes libraries on it.
Follow the specific instructions about sharing your itunes library.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2688
http://www.apple.com/au/support/itunes/library/
And your iphoto
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198
Most of the rest is fine..
1. Yes.
2. Yes.
4. Yes you can extend with the old TC. Ethernet would be better. You might be mixing up wireless extend with Roaming.. you can use roaming if you have ethernet already available.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4260
6. Yes.. you can use a number of units via ethernet as AP points.
5. For another life??

Hi, I am wondering how best to set up the kids ipad minis on my account. I don't want their school work on my devices and they don't want my info on theirs. Do I set them up their own Apple ID?

Is anyone able to help me with how I have each ipad set up with only what that person wants on it. Currently we all get each other's apps etc and this is becoming a pain.

There's a few ways of managing multiple devices on a single computer (and keeping seperate content on each). The following document is worth checking through:
