Best approche with domain account and Microsoft account?

HI,
We presently try Windows 8.1 in my company. And we have a user/domain account, and this is perfect. Now I discovers we can sync/connect with a Microsoft account. I try to connect to a "business" Microsoft account. But if I do that I can't use Skype
with my personal account !
So my real question is when we use a domain account when we connect to a Microsoft Account, best utilization is to use our personal or a business Microsoft account?
And if I use a business account, how I can use Skype with my personal account?
Eric

This is an issue. 
Linking the domain account to one online account is not something I am happy about at all.  We need more flexibility around account settings please.
S. O'Neill,
Did you ever find a solution to this issue?   I am hoping to migrate our company from an in house SBS server to Office 365, I had expected that this issue would have been resolved by the Office 365 account also being a Microsoft Account. But I
have since learned that this is not the case, and for at least one good reason. Windows Store App licenses and payment information is linked to the Microsoft Account.
Please consider a  small business of 50 to 100 users using Office 365 Enterprise where Users stay in the company between 1 to 3 years.
Not all staff joining the company would have a personal Microsoft Account, and even if the User did have a personal Microsoft Account, as the User's computer is a company asset, the company cannot violate the user's privacy by having the User use their own
Microsoft Account. And the company cannot risk the security implications of having the User's personal Microsoft account connected to their corporate computer and network.
The company IT department could create company owned Microsoft accounts for each User as well as Office 365 User accounts. And when a User leaves, log into the User's company Microsoft Account and check to ensure that the user has not placed any company
records on their Microsoft Account's OneDrive before deleting their User account.  It will also mean deleting and creating a new Microsoft Account each time a User leaves the company and their replacement is hired.
However there is an issue here  when the IT Department deletes the Microsoft Account the company looses the license for any software that they have purchased for the user.
So far the only solution I have been able to determine is to create company "role" based Microsoft Accounts and Office 365 accounts, then use Email Aliases to manage a personalised email address for any user working in that "role". For example we would have
roles "CEO", "Business.Manager", "Finance.Manager", "Finance.Assistant_1", "Communications.Office", "Marketing.Manager", "Sales.Rep_1", etc.
I understand that Enterprise organisations do not use Microsoft Accounts at all, but use Side-loading administered from an AD server to manage Windows Store Apps.
I would very much like to hear how companies are managing the issues caused by Microsoft Accounts, including the issue of there being two OneDrives, a Microsoft Account OneDrive and an Office 365 OneDrive for Business.

    Hi ahmad_alnjjar,
    It might seems that the training center have created a new MCP ID for you. To solve your problem just give a call to your Microsoft Region Service Centers (https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/help.aspx) by calling them to merge your 2 MCP IDs to one

  • Deployment of Windows 8 and Microsoft account

    Hi,
    I have a situation where I am deploying Windows 8.1 to desktops connected to a 2008 R2 domain
    Scenario:
    * Each client PC is running Windows 8.1
    * Each client PC signs on to internal domain controller ([email protected])
    * Each user account has an office 365 sign on which is syncronised with active directory (Microsoft organisational account)
    It would now appear that each user requires a microsoft / live account to benefit from apps, windows store etc..
    Does anyone know of a procedure where the organisational account for office 365 can be used for this (which i dont think is possible) or perhaps any way of bulk registering my office 365 users for a microsoft/live account and syncronise the passwords.
    Anyone come across this issue before?
    **Mods, if i have put this in the wrong category, please feel free to move it**

    If you find my information useful, please rate it. :-)

    Having similar issues/concerns to yourself, I have been researching for a solution. While I have not found any real solution, there are two work-arounds that I am contemplating. Please let me know if either of these could help yourself, or if you have found
    better or improved solutions.
    Process 1.
    1) For each Office 365 account, also create a Microsoft Account
    2) Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\OneDrive\"Prevent the usage of OneDrive for file storage" to "Enabled", to ensure that the Microsoft Account's OneDrive is disabled so the user does not accidental store company data to the
    Microsoft Account's OneDrive but only has access to the Office 365's OneDrive for business.
    3) When a user leaves, delete their Office 365 account and then also delete their Microsoft Account (see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/account-close-account). Remember to transfer any required company data from their Office 365 OneDrive account
    to the corporate Team Sites before deleting their Office 365 account.
    or
    Process 2.
    1) You can totally disable the use of Microsoft Accounts and the Windows Store, while still allowing users to make used of already installed Windows Store Apps.  
    2) If you have a Windows AD server you can use side-loading to install apps. Or you could install the apps before disabling Windows Store.
    3) You can still enable the automatic updating of Windows Store Apps, even when the Windows Store is disabled.
    Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\"Accounts: Block Microsoft accounts" to "Users can't add or log on with Microsoft accounts"
    Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Internet Communications Management\Internet Communications settings\"Turn off access to the Store" to "Disabled"
    Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\App runtime\"Allow Microsoft accounts to be optional" to "Enabled"  (NB: allows the use of Windows Store apps even when the use of a Microsoft Account is disabled)
    Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Store\"Turn off the Store application" to "Enabled"
    Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Store\"Turn off Automatic Download and Install of updates" to "Enabled"
    Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Store\"Turn off Automatic Download of updates on Win8 machines" to "Enabled"
    If you want to disable Syncing of data, see;
    Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Sync your settings\"Do not sync passwords"
    I am very interested to learn if there are more Group Policies that could be, or should be, used to manage Microsoft Accounts and the Windows Store.

    Google them to confirm the settings that you need for the outgoing server, then check the setting you entered on the pad.  Pay real close attention to the outgoing server name, and port.  You may need to change in on the pad.

    iCloud's mail server settings are different from MobileMe's. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
    Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
    The situation with iCloud and Snow Leopard is described in detail here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
    iCloud cannot access your AOL account (the MobileMe facility for checking external POP accounts does not exist in iCloud) - you will have to do this in the Mail application in the usual way. You could of course set up forwarding from your AOL account to iCloud (assuming they provide this facility) but you will not be able to reply using iCloud's SMTP server with anything other than the iCloud address as the 'From' address.

  • Country chart of accounts and alternative account No.

    Hello Experts
    we're using country chart of accounts and alternative account No. to fullfill FICO China localization, now I have below questions:
    1, In manual FI posting in company code of china, eg. by transaction code FB01, which account number is used for this posting? Account number in operational chart of accounts or account number in country chart of accounts?
    2, The alternative account No. in country chart of accounts also needs to be created with compnay code level master?
    Or we just need create account in operational chart of accounts with company code level master?
    3, If we use account in operational chart of accounts for FI posting  by company code of China, after posing, two accounting documents are generated, one with account in operational chart of accounts? Another one with account in country chart of accounts?
    4. Country chart of accounts is used for consolication purpose? Is there some difference with group chart of accounts?
    Thanks,

    Hi Nicole,
    1, In manual FI posting in company code of china, eg. by transaction code FB01, which account number is used for this posting? Account number in operational chart of accounts or account number in country chart of accounts?
    > Account No. in Operation Chart of Accounts is always used for FI posting. Alternative Account No. is always for information purpose.
    2, The alternative account No. in country chart of accounts also needs to be created with compnay code level master?
    Or we just need create account in operational chart of accounts with company code level master?
    > You only create Operational Chart of Accounts for posting. Alternative Account No. can be of two types 1):-is a freely definable text and you don't have any chart of Account for that, for example say legacy No. 2) The Account No. from a country Chart of Accounts, in this case you create a GL in Country Chart of Accounts.
    3, If we use account in operational chart of accounts for FI posting by company code of China, after posing, two accounting documents are generated, one with account in operational chart of accounts? Another one with account in country chart of accounts?
    > Not True. Only Operation Chart of Accounts will get posted. In the Alternative Account No., the Alternate Account No. will get populated.
    4. Country chart of accounts is used for consolidation purpose? Is there some difference with group chart of accounts?
    > No. Country Chart of Account is used for External reporting.. Group Chart of Account is used for Consolidation.

  • Auto selected G/L Account and COGS Account by CardCode then ItemGroup

    Hello,
    I am new to the community. I have been working on learning SAP B1 8.8 since the beginning of the year. So far its been a great time  
    I have been searching for a solution for method of having multiple G/L Accounts and COGS Accounts in Delivery Notes. I have done the following:
    1. Create the following chart of accounts
         a. Revenues -MB North America
         b. Revenues -MB Latin America
         c. Revenues -VC North America
         d. Revenues -VC Latin America
         e. COGS -MB North America
         f. COGS -MB Latin America
         g. COGS -VC North America
         h. COGS -VC Latin America
    The company being setup sales motherboards and video cards. I need to track the sales of each division by item group. The problem is that the company shares warehouses for both divisions. I tried managing the journal posting by Item Level. This would have worked if the warehouses where not used to fulfill orders from both division. This leaves me with managing the posting by Warehouse or by Item Group. Unfortunately, none of the three methods take into account the BP to post.
    I am trying to tell SAP B1 to take into consideration the BP and them the item. After it will need to refer to the Item Group, the system will need to post each Delivery Note Line Item to the appropriate G/L Account and COGS. I have been researching FMS structure trying to accomplish this task but I have not had much success.
    To help make the query, I am using the AliasName in the OCRD as a holder for the division. '01' for North America and '02' for Latin America.
    Any ideas on how to manage a divisional revenue/cost structure that can be group by item group and share warehouses?

    I close the other thread. The system made two posting.
    Here is an example FMS I have been working on. I did not use the OCRD.AliasName as the text property did not match. I used the BP GroupName for reference.
    SELECT
         CASE T1.[GroupName]
                   WHEN 'High Tech'
                   THEN
                        CASE T3.[ItmsGrpNam]
                             WHEN 'apple'
                             THEN '421000000100101'
                             ELSE 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
                             END
         ELSE 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
         END
    FROM OCRD T0  INNER JOIN OCRG T1 ON T0.GroupCode = T1.GroupCode, OITM T2  INNER JOIN OITB T3 ON T2.ItmsGrpCod = T3.ItmsGrpCod
    WHERE T2.[ItemCode] = $[$38.1.0] and T0.[CardCode] = $[$4.0.0]
    It seems to be working, but I have not had any luck is the "ELSE" statement. I would like it to lock the entry if possible to insure the correct GL Account number is used.

  • Activating Direct Posting to G/L Accounts and Material Accounts

    Hi,
    Can anyone plz tell me with some examples ,what is the relevance of this ,'Activating Direct Posting to G/L Accounts and Material Accounts'.
    Link for this is as below :
    spro/Materials Management/ Logistics Invoice Verification / Incoming Invoices / Activate Direct Posting to G/L Accounts and Material Accounts
    Whether normally everyone will use this or not ?
    regards,

    Sandeep
    In Logistics Invoice Verification, you can also post invoices that do not refer to a purchase order or a delivery. A typical example of this is a bill for expenses.
    As in the case of an invoice with a reference, you first need to enter the header data and the vendor information.
    In contrast to invoices with a reference, the system does not display any proposed values for the invoice items, since it cannot determine any purchase order items and posted goods receipts for this invoice. As a result, the system does not know which accounts are affected by the offsetting entry for the vendor line item. Therefore, you must specify which accounts the amounts are to be posted to. The SAP System provides the following options:
    • Posting to a G/L account
    You post to G/L accounts if you, for example, want to settle small amounts for freight costs and similar items and do not want to add these to the material accounts or cost accounts for the invoice items.
    • Posting to a material account
    You post to material accounts, if you, for example, want to debit or credit a material without using a purchase order reference
    You can also combine these options by generating the relevant posting lines one after the other, or by generating lines with reference to a purchase order.
    When you enter an invoice without a reference, you may find that a vendor has not been created in the system. You can post this invoice to a one-time account.
    You can have activated this functionality if you want to post directly to GL account and material.
    Hope this clarifies
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sridhar

    Hi
    When u tick "direct posting the material"  material tab will be available in MIRO screen ( along with PO reference )
    here u can post invoices w/o reference to PO directly material account
    Check info Given by SAP
    If you have activated posting to material accounts in Customizing, you can enter invoice lines without a PO reference on the Material tab page. These lines are then posted to the given material when you post the invoice
    When posting directly to a material, no posting is made to a GR/IR clearing account. The system posts manually entered material lines directly to the stock account or a price difference account, depending on price control and stock coverage

    Hi Slayzr
    I am in the UK and eventually found the problem was due to my BT Home Hub Router. 
    I found this fix below on https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4604180?start=15&tstart=0
    It worked for me.  If you can't link to the URL, here is the body of the text
    There's an issue related to the BT homehub that is providing a hostname that is "syntactically incorrect" for several smtp server.
    Here's how you can fix it.
    Using your internet browser, go to the address "192.168.1.254
    - Follow instructions to reset your password if asked.
    - Then go to "Settings", then "Advanced Settings" and "home network"
    You will see there all the devices that are connected or that has been connected before. It's gonna be easyer if yout computer is the only one connected.
    Your computer should have a name like "unknown-xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ...
    Click on this name, chose another name without any special characters, like "macbook" for exemple.
    And then click on "apply"
    - restart your computer.
    That should fix the issue.
