SharePoint Online Invitation Link

Hi
How do I get the link url that's send with the invitation email?
_layouts/15/acceptinvite.aspx?invitation={GUID}
The reason is that some of my external clients' invitation emails are blocked by their companies, I would like to be able to
copy the link and send them email separately
thanks

Hi Lam,
Per my knowledge, the invitation URL will have different parameters depending on the content shared with the external users.
If you have shared a site with the external user, the GUID of the invitation should be the WebId of the site.
So you need to know which content has been shared with the external users first.
Best regards.
Thanks

Using sharepoint designer 2013 - connected to sharepoint online - but getting " data source file cannot be saved" after making a new linked datasource

using sharepoint designer 2013 - connected to sharepoint online - but getting " data source file cannot be saved" after making a new linked datasource

Hi,
Based on your description, I have done a test and I can’t reproduce your issue.
I have used SharePoint Designer 2013 to open a SharePoint Online site and there are no issues.
I’d like to clarify whether you encounter any issues when accessing SharePoint Online sites. If there are no issues during the accessing procedure, SharePoint Online service should be working fine at your side. The issue may be caused by specific SharePoint
Designer client or network. I suggest you refer to the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
1. Use SharePoint Designer to open another site and check whether it is successful.
2. When you are prompted to enter Office 365 account and password, try other users’ accounts and select the remembering the credential.
3. Perform the connection procedure under another environment and verify whether the issue is resolved.
If the issue persists, can you provide related screenshots for further troubleshooting?

SharePoint Online workflows show server error when link is clicked. Cannot terminate them.

This is for SharePoint Online. I have a number of workflows on a list that are in a 'suspended' state when I navigate to the workflows page for the item. When I click the link to view the workflow, I get a server error. I need to terminate these workflows.

Hi,
Based on your description, you want to terminate these workflows in SharePoint online.
You can terminate these workflows by the CSOM implementation through passing the ID of the list and list item.
You can refer to the code snippets below.
// connect to the workflow services via a CSOM client context
var clientContext = new ClientContext(siteCollectionUrl);
var workflowServicesManager = new WorkflowServicesManager(clientContext, clientContext.Web);
// connect to the instance service
var workflowInstanceService = workflowServicesManager.GetWorkflowInstanceService();
// get all instances
var workflowInstances = workflowInstanceService.EnumerateInstancesForListItem(listId, listItemId);
clientContext.Load(workflowInstances);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
foreach (var instance in workflowInstances)
// is this what we are looking for?
// if so, suspend it
workflowInstanceService.SuspendWorkflow(instance);
// or you can terminate it
workflowInstanceService.TerminateWorkflow(instance);
There is a similar case:

Send a link via email that will start a workflow on a sharepoint online list

I am trying to send a hyperlink in an email that will start a workflow on a sharepoint online list. I am unable to use javascript because the end-user will be clicking this link on their mobile device. I have found many articles that get me almost there
but none of them will actually start the workflow.
here is one that is very close to what i am looking to do. http://sharepointerz.blogspot.com/2012/05/run-workflow-from-hyperlink-in.html
Is it possible to start a workflow using a URL with out using javascript?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

you can use ECMA script to Start the workflow. However you need to redirect to a sharepoint page and there on Load you can do this. Directly from Email I don't know.
You can use http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/607127/Using-SharePoint-Workflow-Services-JS-API
SP.WorkflowServices.WorkflowServicesManager
From other blog http://www.vrdmn.com/2014/08/start-sharepoint-2013-workflows-with.html

Remove/hide "new item or edit this list" link of sharepoint online (office 365) with csom

as title, I delevelop an app for sharepoint online, so I must use client api to operate sharepoint object. now, i need to remove/hide the link “new item or edit this list”, not use js do it, what can i do? help!!

Hi,
Per my understanding, you might want to remove the link “new item or edit this list” of a list view web part using Client Object Model.
As there is no such property in
WebPart object can be used to hide/remove the link, I suggest you apply custom CSS style to the page which contains the list view
web part to hide it.

Linked Excel files on Sharepoint Online

Has anyone found a work around to having linked excel files on SharePoint Online?
Right now in all my tests, SharePoint Online disables the links in my excel file to cells in another excel file and I cannot find anyway to change the links.
This is a pretty basic function that is used extensively in excel so I'm a little surprised that this is not available in SP Online.

Hi,
According to your description, the links to other Excel files in the current Excel file not working if in a SharePoint Online environment.
In SharePoint, Excel files is handled by Excel Services. In SharePoint 2013, the “unsupported features continue to behave as they do in Office SharePoint Server 2007
for Excel Services”:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff595319(v=office.15).aspx
Among the “Unsupported Features in Excel Services in SharePoint 2007”, “External references (workbooks that contain links to other workbooks)” is there:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms496823(office.12).aspx
As a workaround, I would suggest that you can transfer the data from Excel file to SharePoint list/library, it would be easier to deal with this scenario in SharePoint
with the content management related feature provided.
You can also submit a feedback to the Office Developer Platform with your expectation about the future version of SharePoint:

SharePoint 2013 - Site Settings - Users and permissions - "Access Request and invitations" link missing

I am site collection administrator and have configured the outgoing email in Central administration but "Access Request and invitations" link is missing, pl advice any additional configurations for this link to show up
I was though able to configure access requests by going to Site Settings->Users and permission and on the ribbon selected "Access Request Settings"
What is the difference in either of the approaches?
Thanks
Abhishek

Hi there,
I noticed this post, and didnt really find an appropriate solution to your issue. I noticed the same issue when dealing with Access Requests. First of all to make sure that the Request feature is enabled, you need to access
Site Settings -> Site Permissions -> Access Request Settings -> Make sure the
'Allow access requests' option is enabled.
The Allow access screen just allows you to enable the feature and also to specify a email address that notifications are sent to. Whereas the 'Access Requests and Invitations' section provides a screen to manage Access Requests and request history.
I noticed then that the Access Requests and Invitations link under 'User and Permissions' didnt actually appear until someone actually requests to join the site. It seems that this is needed to display the screen. Once actioned once, the option stays there.
Hope it helps

Yammer should be available with your O365 subscription today, but you would have to switch to it within the SharePoint Online tenant settings.
That said, end users can subscribe to Yammer groups, or specific tags, or specific users.

Access 2010 Linked to Sharepoint online - avoid direct access to sharepoint stored data

Hello,
I have an access 2010 application (front end) connected to SharePoint online team site (as back end).
I wish to allow my users to work with the front end but to avoid direct access to the data on SharePoint Online.
The user will open the access application and it will auto connect & work with SharePoint online.
How can I implement this?
Thank you for your help

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use Access 2010 to connect the SharePoint Online data.
In Access 2010, you can connect the SharePoint list as a external datasource like the capture below. It will need to input url and user credentials to access SharePoint site in the wizard. If you want to connect automatically, you will need write some custom
Micro code to achieve it.
If you have some question about Micro code to connect SharePoint list automatically, I suggest you can create a new thread in Access Development, you will get more detailed information from there.

Single Sign On and SharePoint Online. Why so much re-authentication?

We are migrating to SharePoint Online 2013. Much of the organization is already on o365 for Exchange and Linq.
Most clients are Windows 7 using IE 11.
From what I understand there is an AD to ADFS sync and a custom SSO login page that accepts our enterprise user and passwords.
Looking at this, a few dumb questions:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh852486.aspx
In our organization, authenticating into our desktops and network does not automatically authenticate us into o365, Exchange, Linq or SharePoint Online. Furthermore, Authetnicating into Exchange and Linq, does not automatically authenticate me
into SharePoint Online. I can create a map to SharePoint Document library while HTTP authenticated into SPO, but if reboot and log into our network and then Exchange/Linq and attempt to access that map the SPO library I get an error. If I then
authenticate into SPO, the map works again.
These are all MS products and technologies. Are these gaps in SSO normal and expected or are these limitation in our organization?
What would it take to seamlessly have access to SPO resources automatically after authenticating into our AD network?
Any chance MS SSO can work like a ChromeBook login, where all Google resource are automatically available without prompt for authentication?

The problem is that the cookie/token for SPO expires. You need to periodically login there to renew it. Using a smart link to authenticate directly to SPO and get a persistent cookie will help:
http://samhandle.no/2014/06/24/sharepoint-online-with-webdav-and-sso/
You will still have to open SPO even with the above setup, but a lot less frequently. If you keep running into issues with mapped drives, refer to this article:

ADFS SSO and SharePoint 2013 on-premise Hybrid outbound search results from SharePoint Online - does it work?

Hi,
I want to setup an outpund hybrid search for SharePoint 2013 on-premise to SharePoint Online.
But I'm not shure if this works with ADFS SSO.
Has somebody experience with this setup?
Here's my guide which I'm going to use for this installation:
Introduction
In this post I'll show you how to get search results from your SharePoint Online in your SharePoint 2013 on-premise search center.
Requirements
User synchronisation ActiveDirectory to Office 365 with DirSync
DirSync password sync or ADFS SSO
SharePoint Online
SharePoint 2013 on-premise
Enterprise Search service
SharePoint Online Management Shell
Instructions
All configuration will be done either in the Search Administration of the Central Administration or in the PowerShell console of your on-premise SharePoint 2013 server.
Set up Sever to Server Trust
Export certificates
To create a server to server trust we need two certificates.
[certificate name].pfx: In order to replace the STS certificate, the certificate is needed in Personal Information Exchange (PFX) format including the private key.
[certificate name].cer: In order to set up a trust with Office 365 and Windows Azure ACS, the certificate is needed in CER Base64 format.
First launch the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
Select your SharePoint web server and double-click Server Certificates
In the Actions pane, click Create Self-Signed Certificate
Enter a name for the certificate and save it with OK
To export the new certificate in the Pfx format select it and click Export in the Actions pane
Fill the fields and click OK Export to: C:\[certificate
name].pfx Password: [password]
Also we need to export the certificate in the CER Base64 format. For that purpose make a right-click on the certificate select it and click on View...
Click the Details tab and then click Copy to File
On the Welcome to the Certificate Export Wizard page, click Next
On the Export Private Key page, click Next
On the Export File Format page, click Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER), and then click Next.
As file name enter C:\[certificate
name].cer and then click Next
Finish the export
Import the new STS (SharePoint Token Service) certificate
Let's update the certificate on the STS. Configure and run the PowerShell script below on your SharePoint server.
if(-not (Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)){Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}
# set the cerficates paths and password
$PfxCertPath = "c:\[certificate name].pfx"
$PfxCertPassword = "[password]"
$X64CertPath = "c:\[certificate name].cer"
# get the encrypted pfx certificate object
$PfxCert = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2 $PfxCertPath, $PfxCertPassword, 20
# import it
Set-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig -ImportSigningCertificate $PfxCert
Type Yes when prompted with the following message.
You are about to change the signing certificate for the Security Token Service. Changing the certificate to an invalid, inaccessible or non-existent certificate will cause your SharePoint installation to stop functioning. Refer
to the following article for instructions on how to change this certificate: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=178475. Are you
sure, you want to continue?
Restart IIS so STS picks up the new certificate.
& iisreset
& net stop SPTimerV4
& net start SPTimerV4
Now validate the certificate replacement by running several PowerShell commands and compare their outputs.
# set the cerficates paths and password
$PfxCertPath = "c:\[certificate name].pfx"
$PfxCertPassword = "[password]"
# get the encrypted pfx certificate object
New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2 $PfxCertPath, $PfxCertPassword, 20
# compare the output above with this output
(Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig).LocalLoginProvider.SigningCertificate
[/code]
## Establish the server to server trust
[code lang="ps"]
if(-not (Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)){Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}
Import-Module MSOnline
Import-Module MSOnlineExtended
# set the cerficates paths and password
$PfxCertPath = "c:\[certificate name].pfx"
$PfxCertPassword = "[password]"
$X64CertPath = "c:\[certificate name].cer"
# set the onpremise domain that you added to Office 365
$SPCN = "sharepoint.domain.com"
# your onpremise SharePoint site url
$SPSite="http://sharepoint"
# don't change this value
$SPOAppID="00000003-0000-0ff1-ce00-000000000000"
# get the encrypted pfx certificate object
$PfxCert = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2 $PfxCertPath, $PfxCertPassword, 20
# get the raw data
$PfxCertBin = $PfxCert.GetRawCertData()
# create a new certificate object
$X64Cert = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2
# import the base 64 encoded certificate
$X64Cert.Import($X64CertPath)
# get the raw data
$X64CertBin = $X64Cert.GetRawCertData()
# save base 64 string in variable
$CredValue = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String($X64CertBin)
# connect to office 3656
Connect-MsolService
# register the on-premise STS as service principal in Office 365
# add a new service principal
New-MsolServicePrincipalCredential -AppPrincipalId $SPOAppID -Type asymmetric -Usage Verify -Value $CredValue
$MsolServicePrincipal = Get-MsolServicePrincipal -AppPrincipalId $SPOAppID
$SPServicePrincipalNames = $MsolServicePrincipal.ServicePrincipalNames
$SPServicePrincipalNames.Add("$SPOAppID/$SPCN")
Set-MsolServicePrincipal -AppPrincipalId $SPOAppID -ServicePrincipalNames $SPServicePrincipalNames
# get the online name identifier
$MsolCompanyInformationID = (Get-MsolCompanyInformation).ObjectID
$MsolServicePrincipalID = (Get-MsolServicePrincipal -ServicePrincipalName $SPOAppID).ObjectID
$MsolNameIdentifier = "$MsolServicePrincipalID@$MsolCompanyInformationID"
# establish the trust from on-premise with ACS (Azure Control Service)
# add a new authenticatio realm
$SPSite = Get-SPSite $SPSite
$SPAppPrincipal = Register-SPAppPrincipal -site $SPSite.rootweb -nameIdentifier $MsolNameIdentifier -displayName "SharePoint Online"
Set-SPAuthenticationRealm -realm $MsolServicePrincipalID
# register the ACS application proxy and token issuer
New-SPAzureAccessControlServiceApplicationProxy -Name "ACS" -MetadataServiceEndpointUri "https://accounts.accesscontrol.windows.net/metadata/json/1/" -DefaultProxyGroup
New-SPTrustedSecurityTokenIssuer -MetadataEndpoint "https://accounts.accesscontrol.windows.net/metadata/json/1/" -IsTrustBroker -Name "ACS"
Add a new result source
To get search results from SharePoint Online we have to add a new result source. Run the following script in a PowerShell ISE session on your SharePoint 2013 on-premise server. Don't forget to update the settings region
if(-not (Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)){Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"}
# region settings
$RemoteSharePointUrl = "http://[example].sharepoint.com"
$ResultSourceName = "SharePoint Online"
$QueryTransform = "{searchTerms}"
$Provier = "SharePoint-Remoteanbieter"
# region settings end
$SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
$FederationManager = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.Query.FederationManager($SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication)
$SPEnterpriseSearchOwner = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchOwner -Level Ssa
$ResultSource = $FederationManager.GetSourceByName($ResultSourceName, $SPEnterpriseSearchOwner)
if(!$ResultSource){
Write-Host "Result source does not exist. Creating..."
$ResultSource = $FederationManager.CreateSource($SPEnterpriseSearchOwner)
$ResultSource.Name = $ResultSourceName
$ResultSource.ProviderId = $FederationManager.ListProviders()[$Provier].Id
$ResultSource.ConnectionUrlTemplate = $RemoteSharePointUrl
$ResultSource.CreateQueryTransform($QueryTransform)
$ResultSource.Commit()
Add a new query rule
In the Search Administration click on Query Rules
Select Local SharePoint as Result Source
Click New Query Rule
Enter a Rule name f.g. Search results from SharePoint Online
Expand the Context section
Under Query is performed on these sources click on Add Source
Select your SharePoint Online result source
In the Query Conditions section click on Remove Condition
In the Actions section click on Add Result Block
As title enter Results for "{subjectTerms}" from SharePoint Online
In the Search this Source dropdown select your SharePoint Online result source
Select 3 in the Items dropdown
Expand the Settings section and select "More" link goes to the following URL
In the box below enter this Url https://[example].sharepoint.com/search/pages/results.aspx?k={subjectTerms}
Select This block is always shown above core results and click the OK button
Save the new query rule

Hi Janik,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display hybrid search results in SharePoint Server 2013.
For achieving your demand, please have a look at the article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn197173(v=office.15).aspx
If you are using single sign-on (SSO) authentication, it is important to test hybrid Search functionality by using federated user accounts. Native Office 365 user accounts and Active Directory Domain Services
(AD DS) accounts that are not federated are not recognized by both directory services. Therefore, they cannot authenticate using SSO, and cannot be granted permissions to resources in both deployments. For more information, see Accounts
needed for hybrid configuration and testing.

Follow-up question about forms and SharePoint Online

I asked a question about life after InfoPath earlier, and got a good answer:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/fb23b3d9-8a09-4267-aab5-09929f6a3082/life-after-infopath-seeking-advice
After looking at all of the limitations of SharePoint Online, I'm wondering how developers are dealing with the limitations. Lets say you are asked to develop something that has complex logic, including fetching data from external web services, dynamically
displaying parts of a process to people depending on role, and ending up with a printable document. In our on-premises environment, InfoPath is well suited to this task, with some code behind for some things. Or, if not using InfoPath, we would use application
pages and workflow.
Neither of those are available in SharePoint Online, so what would you do?

Some things, such as the conditional display of content, can be done via JavaScript. More advanced items, such as integrating external web services would likely require a SharePoint "app". A SharePoint app is essentially a link to a separate site
that is running an asp.net web app (or PHP, or whatever). This asp.net site can do anything it needs with any web services, or conditional formatting, or anything. Because it's registered as a SharePoint app, it can also call back into the SharePoint site
and work with data. So, a SharePoint App could present the user with a robust form that simply sends the data back to a SharePoint list. The SharePoint app can also be surfaced on the SharePoint site itself in an iframe, so the user won't know that the form
is hosted by another server.
By the way, the ideas behind the app model permeate the entire SharePoint environment: instead of having the SharePoint server itself run all kinds of custom business logic, that workload is handled by other servers, so the SharePoint servers can be focused
on running the core bits of SharePoint. InfoPath puts a large load on the servers, so it's out. XSLT list views also put a load on the server, so they're also out. SSRS is an amazingly fantastic tool, but is not supported in the cloud (and there's no
alternative). Timer jobs, event handlers, workflow, and many other things have been re-architected to take the load off the SharePoint servers.

Is Office Home and Business 2013 fully compatible with Sharepoint Online (Office 365)?

My client recently upgraded 3 Windows 7 PCs (2-32 & 1-64-bit OS) from Office 2007 32-bit (which was actually working fine against Exchange/SharePoint Online) to Office Home and Business 2013 (32-bit)
Now, for all 3 PCs, while Office 2013 Word/Excel can open, check out/in, and save SharePoint Online files, there is ALWAYS a 2 minute delay in closing the file which is apparently waiting for the Local Security Authority call to return. This seems
to indicate an issue related to SharePoint security on the client side.
Problem Event Name: AppHangXProcB1
Application Name:
WINWORD.EXE
Application Version:
15.0.4657.1000
Waiting on Application Name:
lsass.exe:lsasspirpc
This is the Local Security Authority Security Support Provider Interface Remote Procedure Call (LSA SSPI RPC)
My client has 66 licenses for SharePoint Online (Plan 2) and 73 Exchange Online (Plan 1) "stand alone" services. The same failure is happening on 3 Win 7 PCs. All of which I've carefully reviewed against the MS Office trouble shooting guides (start
Windows OS w/out non-MS services, Word/Excel safe mode w/out add-ons, O365 readiness checks, Office repair, etc.). We have PCs running Win 7 (32 & 64-bit) w/Office 365 ProPlus & Office Professional Plus 2013 that work fine. it's JUST these 3 Win 7
PCs that were upgraded from Office 2007 to Office Home and Business 2013 that have the 2 min. SharePoint file close time.
Can you please confirm that Office Home and Business 2013 is compatible w/SharePoint Online
at least for Excel and Word?
The "slow close" problem can be demonstrated on multiple site collections/sub sites and w/Excel & Word docs in doc libs and lists
After many hours capturing information, following the MS Office trouble shooting guides, and repairing the Office install, I've had no luck in resolving this.While Word/Excel will eventually close SharePoint Online files after about
2 minutes, this is certainly unacceptable. Otherwise, locally stored files close normally and new files were created by the Office 2013 Excel/Word for this testing.
Any thoughts or guidance would be appreciated.

Hi raygabe,
I couldn't find the document mentioned there is any compatibility between Office365 SharePoint online and Office Home and Business 2013 version, I would recommend that you check if the issue could be reproduced on other Win7 machines installed with Office
Home and Business 2013 installed directly instead of upgrading from Office2007, see if issue is related to Office application upgrade.
I also recommend that you post this issue on our dedicated Office365 SharePoint online forum and Office 2013 forum for a better assistance with more experts regarding this issue from the following links.

Is it possible to restrict access to individual SharePoint Online sites (or site collections) to users only connecting when on the corporate network?

Hi,
We have an Office 365 environment which is linked to our on premise ADFS environment. We have started to make some deployments of sites to our SharePoint Online environment. For the majority of sites this is great and the ability to access the sites
from anywhere is a real bonus. However, there are some sites and data that I would be much more comfortable in migrating to SharePoint Online if there were a way to make them only accessible via users/computers connected to the corporate network.
I have seen articles in how you can configure ADFS to allow all connections to the Office 365 tenant only from the network or not but what I am after is something which can be configured on a site by site basis (i.e. not the whole Office 365 environment
or SharePoint Online environment) to only allow access when connecting from the corporate network.
Any advice/help would be much appreciated?
Many thanks
Paul

Hi,
This is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office, the issue is more related to SharePoint online, I recommend you post your question to the Microsoft Office 365 Community Sites and document sharing Forum
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/154.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.
