Adding another exchange account Outlook 2013 Pro Plus for terminal Server users

Really hoping someone can offer some advice on this one as I have wasted far to many cycles trying to figure this out.
 Company I work for recent purchased another company and we are in the process of bringing them into our network.  They currently run a a 2008 R2 terminal server where all users connect to for there day to day work.  A number of applications
are installed including Office 2013.
All users have Outlook 2013 configured to access their exchange server for email and this works fine.
The first step in bringing them into our fold is to add an email account for Our Exchange  server without removing their existing exchange configuration or Outlook Profile.  So the one profile will have both exchange accounts listed and they can
continue to get email from their server but as well email from our domain.
I created a MSP file and tested pushing this out using PDQ Deploy to a few workstations here in our office and it works fine.  I then started to work on deploying in their environment.  PDQ Deploy will not work as they are all terminal Services
Clients.  So I tried to push out via GPO.  I created the GPO Initially wanting to use a package and apply that GPO to an AD group.  However it will not let me deploy a MST as a package.  So I then tried moving it to a script that would
run at logon.  That too is not working.
I know I could enter install mode then run the MSIEXEC.EXE \config.MSP but that takes away the ability to control the role out.
Any other ideas on how to get this done.

Using the MSPfile method would require the logged-on user to have the necessary Windows permissions to run setup.exe, and on an RDS/TS Session Host, that's not likely to be available. (since it's not a great idea to give end-users those permissions on a
shared system like RDS/TS)
But you might be able to do it with a PRF file and an Outlook launch command, like this?

  • Office 365 Pro Plus vs Office 2013 Pro Plus licensing

    I can't find any exact answers on this but I'm wondering if I can run Office 2013 Pro Plus instead of office 365 Pro Plus click to run. The problem is click to run causes all kinds of problems with 3rd party software. It's so random too and doesn't happen
    to everyone in my office.
    With office 365 this is what happens. We have this 3rd party integration with word that adds a tab to interact with our CRM. When you click a button on this tab word crashes and you loose your document. It will auto recover most of the time but at that point
    the 3rd part integration is broken because the document was open outside of the software.
    I did an online repair of office 365 but that didn't fix it.
    So I have a volume license key for Office 2013 pro plus for my terminal servers and was wondering if I could just use that key on my computers to activate Office 2013 Pro Plus instead of Office 365 and still be compliant with the license agreement.
    I have tried installing Office 2013 Pro Plus and activating with the Office 365 login but it converts office 2013 to the Office 365 click to run. It's so infuriating! LOL.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    "So I have a volume license key for Office 2013 pro plus for my terminal servers and was wondering if I could just use that key on my computers to activate Office 2013 Pro Plus instead of Office 365 and still be compliant with the license agreement."
    By the volume license key, do you mean a MAK key? Technically it should work fine, but since it will be related to the licence policy, I suggest you contact the local customer service to confirm:
    http://support.microsoft.com/gp/customer-service-phone-numbers/en-us
    "I have tried installing Office 2013 Pro Plus and activating with the Office 365 login but it converts office 2013 to the Office 365 click to run. It's so infuriating! LOL."
    I understand in your scenario if you activate Office 2013 with the Office 365 account it will display Office 365. But does it also display "click to run"? The installation method should change unless you installed Office 2013 via click to run too.

  • Outlook 2013: Accessing Exchange with Outlook 2013 and OST on mulitple machines?

    My organization recently transitioned to off-site Exchange servers.  Users were upgraded to Office 365 / Outlook 2013 using OST files (PST files previously
    In addition to my work laptop, I have Outlook 2013 available on a personal Surface Pro 3.  I cannot find a definitive answer on whether it will be a problem to connect to Exchange via Outlook 2013 using an OST files from both the work laptop and personal
    tablet.  Will having OST files on separate machines create sync issues?  I have access to Outlook Web Access on the Surface, but prefer the Outlook desktop application for quick actions and other tools.

    Hi,
    Typically, when you use a Microsoft Exchange Server account, your email messages, calendar, and other items are delivered to and saved on the server. You can configure Outlook to keep a local copy of your items on your computer in an Outlook data file that
    is named an offline Outlook Data File (.ost).
    As what Amit says, there would be no issue configuring Exchange account from both the work laptop and personal tablet. The OST file is synchronized with the Exchange computer when a connection is available. It is synced from Exchange server instead of the
    Outlook client from your first account computer.
    For more information about Outlook Data Files (.pst and .ost), please refer to:

  • Lync 2013 client - part of Office 2013 Pro Plus - unable to edit or remove picture, option is grayed out.

    Hi Team,
    Lync 2013 client - part of Office 2013 Pro Plus - unable to edit or remove picture, option is grayed out.
    Using Exchange 2010 Server and Lync 2010 Server at the back. To the best of my knowledge, this option is only available when using Exchange 2013 rather than Ex 2010.
    Can somebody confirm this as I am not 100% sure about it.
    Appreciate your help. Thanks

    Hi,
    The photo precedence in Lync 2013 is high-resolution photo from Exchange 2013 -> Photo from web address -> Active Directory photo. The "Edit or Remove Picture" button is available if you integrate Lync Server 2013 with Exchange 2013.
    Since you are Lync server 2010 and Exchange 2010, you can choose the following two options:
    The thumbnailPhoto attribute on the user's object in Active Directory Domain Services
    A URL configured by the user

  • Activating Microsoft Office 2013 Pro Plus? Volume licensing needed?

    Hello,
    I have unique scenario in my company where we need to install office 2013 pro plus on 10 hard drives. Each hard drive has its own windows 7 operating system. Due to security reasons, the setup consists of one computer tower (with no primary hard drive) that
    has a slot in tray for one hard drive. These hard drives are accessed one at a time. There are not set up on a network and do not have internet access. What would be the best method of installing office? Of course we could install 10 copies of office on the
    10 hard drives, but this would be expensive. I keep hearing about KMS (Key management service) and MAK (multiple activation key) which I believe would require volume licensing. Is this a possible cheaper alternative? Would we need to set up a server to manage
    the keys?
    Any feedback is appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    A volume licensing aggreement is the best plan for your case, I think.
    Multiple Activation Key (MAK) activation is used for one-time activation through Microsoft hosted activation services, either via the Internet or by telephone. Each MAK has a predetermined number of allowed activations, this number is based on volume licensing
    agreements.
    KMS is a client-server model in which the client requests activation from a computer serving as the KMS host. KMS activation requires TCP/IP connectivity between the clients and the KMS host. By default, KMS host uses DNS to publish the KMS service. It works
    best with more than 50 computers.
    So I think the best choice for your scenario is MAK as your setup is not on a network and only need 10 copies of Office. Also, with MAK, you don't need a server to "manage the keys" as the MAK key need to be added at installation time.
    Here is the reference you'll need:

  • "Resend" option is not working for specific user. "The Operation Failed" Exchange 2010 Outlook 2013

    Hi Everybody. I have a weird one for you.
    I have a user that gets an "operation failed" message whenever trying to use the "resend" option on any email (It's the one right under recall). I had tested up and down on her machine. Exchange 2010 Outlook 2013
    Ran in safe mode, recreated her profile, disabled virus scanning, repaired office. (weird, the font just changed sizes on me)
    After all of this I tested on other computers, other users seem to be able to "resend" just fine. However her account does not work on any computer I try, internal or external to the network.
    It looks more like a profile issue.
    She's a very active archivist, so she only has 486MB of space used by her mailbox.
    It's well under quota.
    It's been really puzzling me.

    Hi Timssims,
    Since there is only one user in the org has this issue, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
    I suggest asking Outlook Forum for help so that we can get more professional suggestions.
    For your convenience:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/home?forum=outlook
    However I also have some suggestions for your reference:
    1. If this issue occur on Cached Mode, I suggest turning to Online Mode for testing.
    2. Please also paste the detailed error message if "operation failed" is not the
    complete information.
    3. If still not works after perform operations above (including suggestions from Outlook Forum), I suggest re-creating a new mailbox for the specific user just as Martin suggested.
    Thanks

  • Outlook 2010 Pro Plus not showing Retention/Archive Policies only on Terminal Server

    I have Office 2010 Pro Plus (Terminal Server License) installed on Remote Desktop Services 2008 R2 and running Outlook 2010 against Exchange 2010 SP1 with Enterprise CALS for all users.  If I run Outlook locally on a PC (not TS Client)
    I have apply folder retention policies and archival policies no problem but if I open Outlook on Terminal Server I cannot.  Everything is greyed out.  This is the exact same version of Outlook, just different keys but I can't apply any policies for
    the Terminal Server users.
    So, to clarify, on a regular PC, I can click an Outlook folder, click on the "Policies" button on the ribbon and have retention policies as well as Online Archive settings as I should but when I use the same version on Terminal Server
    the Policies button is greyed out completely and cannot set.  I am NOT using auto-archive settings and not using PST files, only Online Archive.
    Thank you

    I think you are in the wrong forum - OCI questions (as opposed to OCI) should go here:

  • I am unable to access my mail on my IMac after adding another email account. Somehow I manage to knock myself out of the Telus acct that I had recently migrated to my IMac. Any idea of how I can reconnect to my Telus acct?

    Hi
    I am having trouble accessing my IMac mail after I added another mail account to my list of email accts. I had migrated my outlook acct. from my PC to my IMac and when I went back to use my password it wouldn't let me in. Any ideas of what I should do?

    Adding another account would not affect one that you already had. Either the password is wrong, or the server is coincidentally rejecting your credentials for some reason, or you did something different.

    We recommend you download it from the website and extract it again to make sure your source install is complete.
    Run setup.exe as administrator then try the install.

  • Excel 2013 (pro plus) extermely slow with sheets with more than 100 checkboxes

    I have a customer with Excel 2013 (pro plus).
    They use sheets with more than 100 checkboxes in it.
    The sheet is extremly slow to display. When a user starts scrolling down, the checkboxes appear very slowly, one by one.
    It happens with all users, on both x86 and 64bits Windows 8 PC's and Office clients (32b & 64b).
    Anyone any idea?

    Hi R.Nieraeth,
    Could you please let us know what exactly these checkbox was used for ? Any formulas depend on these checkbox? Or any VBA code in this excel file? If so, you may need to check your formulas or the VBA code.
    In addition,does this issue happen only on excel 2013? You can try to disable hardware graphics acceleration: Click
    File, and then click Options. In the Advanced group, click to select the
    Disable hardware graphics acceleration check box. Click ok.

  • Google added as Exchange Account (mail, contacts, cal), issues with contact #'s resolving to Names.

    Google added as exchange account (mail, contacts, calendar), all works except contact correlation. Meaning somebody calls me, it's in the contact list but does not show name just the #. Same for outbound calls..search contacts, tap #, phone shows I'm dialing # versus contact name. This is completely goofy. I had a previous emplorers Exchange account working perfectly before I had to delete it. I removed all email accounts from iPhone and started fresh with adding Google as Exchange 'type' account.

    Ok I fixed this problem. Within Google under contacts I had imported 1,200+ contacts and they all showed up there, on my iPad and iPhone. But on the phone name and # would not correlate. I discovered that by editing a contact (within Google contacts page) it would mark it as 'My Contacts' in addition to being Imported on xx/xx/xx. Once I did this, magically my iphone call log would display the name of the contact I edited/reclassified as 'My Contacts'. So I reclassified all the contacts as 'My Contacts' and now have full functionality. End of **** story and hope this helps somebody else.

  • MAPI over HTTP not working correctly, Outlook 2013 clients prompting for credentials during profile creation or opening depending on security of virtual directory

    ENVIRONMENT
    -1 Exchange 2013 SP1 CU7 server with all roles that is also a hybrid server with Office 365 tenant, mailboxes are all on premise only LYNC online is being utilized right now.
    -Exchange 2013 public folders
    -Mix of Outlook 2013 SP1 and Outlook 2010 SP3 clients all fully update to day as of Feb 2015
    Outlook anywhere is working perfectly across all clients both internally and externally using autodiscover.  Both Outlook 2013 and 2010 clients can open the program and create a profile automatically via autodiscover and no additional logon prompts
    are seen.
    We set the internal and external mapi virtual directory URLs to a valid URL that also matches the Exchange 2013 SSL certificate.  We set the security to ntlm, negotiate on the mapi virtual directory.  We reset IIS and enabled mapi over http in
    the org config.  We run in to problems here.
    Outlook 2010 clients appear to be working fine.  We can create a new profile and open and close Outlook without any logon prompts and verify that MAPIHTTP and Negotiate are used to connect to Exchange.
    Outlook 2013 clients are having problems.  As soon as we try to create a profile it says your administrator has made a change that requires you to restart outlook and then a windows logon prompt appears. If we authenticate Outlook will open and connect.
      This logon prompt should not occur.    We can confirm that it is connecting via MAPI HTTP and Negotiate.
    If we set the mapi virtual directory to NTLM only then a logon prompt also appears during every open of Outlook 2013.  We can confirm that it is trying to connect with MAPIHTTP via NTLM in the outlook connection test screen.
    I do not understand this behavior by Outlook 2013 which was supposed to be designed with MAPI HTTP in mind.  I would think the same issues would occur with Outlook 2010 but they do not.  I am not sure how to resolve this and I am looking for help.

    I have the same problem. Exchange and Outlook are both up to date. After creating a new profile Outlook prompts for username/password. A lot of users also get this prompt while
    working - the profiles have been "migrated" from Exchange server 2010. <o:p></o:p>
    Niko, as i can see in your screenshot you do not have Mapi over HTTP enabled. Why? You can change settings in the security tab – if you have Mapi over
    HTTP enabled all options are grayed out (please correct me if I
    am wrong):
    This is a very annoying thing – does anybody else have the same problem?
    Any suggestions on this?

  • How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?

    How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?

    In case you didn't fully understand what dallon meant, it means another user account on your computer. You set that up in Windows and then instal iTunes onto that account.
    That way, you each have your own desktop and your own itunes. You can link to the songs in the other person's library as well, but you cannot run both iTunes at the same time. (That simply means you need to close it on the first account before opening it on the second account.)

  • "The Connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable" when adding second Exchange account to Outlook 2013

    I have a problem that I've found to be typical, just haven't found anything that describes my exact problem.
    I'm having trouble adding a second Exchange 2010 server account to Outlook 2013 in one of the computers of the domain. Outlook 2013 will complain with "The Connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete
    this action".
    I've Googled and found many threads with the same error... however most of those seem to be either a problem with the server, or the Global Catalog in Active Directory, or the "connection method" (I've tried all found solutions to no avail).
    This is not the case, since the first account is added with absolutely no problem. It can send and receive and I can delete the outlook profile and recreate it and it'll give no problems. I have this problem only when adding a second account.
    This is a fresh Windows 8.1 install with an up-to-date Outlook 2013. I have other computers in the same domain and network, with the same setup (Win 8.1 + Outlook 2013) configured with two exchange accounts with no problem.
    There are no connectivity problems, I can access that same account through OWA and in other computers on the network... the Global Catalog seems to be fine (shows two active DCs, which is correct).
    I've tried deleting and recreating the outlook profiles, repairing the outlook installation, even deleting all outlook files in AppData and letting it recreate them, with no success.
    Any hints of what could be going on?
    Before I speak, I have something important to say.

    Hi Javier,
    Thank you for the update.
    I have tested on my lab and get following result.
    Lab: Exchange 2010, CAS Array (CAS01+CAS02), MBX01, DC
    Type Server Field
    Check name result
    Changed Server Field
    CAS01.domain.com
    Yes
    CASArray.domain.com
    CASArray.domain.com
    Yes
    CASArray.domain.com
    DC.domain.com
    Yes
    CASArray.domain.com
    MBX01.domain.com
    No
    "The Connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable"
    Based on my knowledge, the reason why inputing DC FQDN in the Server Field fixes this issue is that Outlook performs AD Lookup and finds the account configuration from AD, then back the CAS Array FQDN in the Server Field  instead of DC FQDN.
    Exchange 2010 is different from Exchange 2013, if you are using Exchange 2013, we need to input MailboxServerGUID.domain.com into Server Field.
    If there is anything I’ve misunderstood, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
