Best method for controlling Office 365 updates

Were looking for the best method for updating Office 365. We will be testing prior to releasing the version to the rest of the company. We have a couple of methods we're contemplating but looking for any pros or cons for each. We are also
using SCCM 2012.
1. Run setup.exe setting the version and internal install source in an .xml file run as an SCCM package using distribution points as the install source.
2. Run click2runclient.exe with command lines setting the version and internal install source as an SCCM package using distribution points as the install source.
3 Set the version through group policy and turn on automatic updates and don't specify an install source.
Option 3 appears to be the most straight forward with the least administrative overhead. Would it be possible to revert back to an earlier version using this method?
I have read various articles but looking for any input as to what is working well or not working for others.

Hi,
I would like to share this
blog post with you, which provides an example how to implement a fully automated testing and deployment process of Office 365 updates. This deployment method provides you the ability to test updates before you approve them in my environment.
The process might look like:
Deploy Office 365 in your environment with Office Deployment Tool, configure the "Updates" element in the configuration.xml file so that updates are enabled and the "UpdatePath" attribute points to an internal source.
Download the latest Office 365 build into a different internal source, configure your test machine to pick up builds from it.
After testing the updates, copy the updates to the first internal source.
You should be able to integrate the process with SCCM to reduce your administrative effort.
Hope this helps.

Best Approach for Sharepoint/Office 365 Solution?

Hello there,
I have been asked to develop a new solution involving SharePoint Online. I know a bit about SharePoint but have not done any development with it as of yet. I need to understand the best approach to take (e.g. WebPart, Separate Web Application, something
else?)
In my opinion, the "application" needs are a bit complex. the solution must be hosted in the Cloud (most likely on Azure or within SharePoint if possible)
It needs to meet the following objectives:
Consume data from a SQL Server database (proprietary, no api available), on premises
Manipulate/Read SharePoint Lists
Launch Workflows
Provide seamless authentication (Users log into the SharePoint online service, must not have to log into a separate app)
Support additional database functionality (e.g. I will have my own tables, sps in SQL, that will be needed) and a UI for users to interact with the custom tables.
Some concerns I have from reading articles is that some functionality is restricted using the SharePoint online platform.
Any input on a viable approach would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Cory

You will want to implement a provider hosted app. A provider hosted app gives you the ability to host your app on a trusted server where you can have your own database. You can also communicate back into SharePoint using CSOM to manipulate lists and launch
workflows. The authentication will flow through from SharePoint Online to your app using OAuth authentication. Some links to help you below:

What is the best method for controlling a data switch of 20x20 ports, with local and remote requests?

I'm using booleon control boxes for 'source' ports - to be connected to 'customers' ports. Am not sure of choosing between arrays, clusters, case, etc.

Thanks, however, I simply meant my boolean 'ports' to mean a 'yes/no' control box of a 'data source', which, when selected, would signify a 'source' that could then be connected to a 'customer' port or 'receiving box'. Perhaps instead of port, I should have said input/output box.
My main question is simply about a data switch matrix of 20 inputs and 20 outputs. Should I attempt to manage the switching of data lines via cases, for loops, sequence, or what! I believe I will need to set up arrays, but controlling the matrix is ???. Thanks.

Best method for 8 channel analog control on a microsecond scale

Thanks for the quick reply, it was most helpful.
Now that I am restricted to the analog channels I was just wondering as to the best method of control.
At present I am using the AO Generate waveforms VI, by feeding it a pre-built arrays of data for each of the channels. I found this gave 30us resolution (on the maximum 32767 updates/sec) between values. It doesn't seem as though this is utilising the onboard timer on the card however, rather simply ouputting the signals as quick as possible.
I tried using one of the counting time or events VIs which utilised the onboard timers, however I had it in a case structure to trigger at certain times which was highly limited by software (as i presumed).
Basically I was wondering how I can take advantage of the onboard timers to simply trigger voltage changes on channels on a microsecond timescale, I'm sure there is a simple way that is passing me by.
Any help would be appreciated
AndyB

Take a look at the "Function Generator" example under the AO section of the hardware I/O.
While take a look at the examples that might also intrest you.
Just aply the same array you are using now to set up the I/O.

Managing Office 365 Updates?

I use WSUS and/or System Center Configuration Manager 2012 to manage Office updates today. Can I continue to use these products to update Office 365 ProPlus? Plz Suggest? What is the best way?
Thanks

No. Unfortunately you cannot. There's a new update system for the Click To Run software. CTR is a whole nother animal. This document goes over the limitations: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624360.aspx
If you want to control which updates are applied and distribute those internally, then it works something like this:
Deploy Office with configuration.xml (and/or GPO) configured for an internal update location
Write and schedule a script to regular run setup.exe with another configuration.xml to download the updates to a shared location
Microsoft just finally gave us a few more customization and some limited GPO control in April. Here's some information on that:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2014/04/28/new-group-policies-introduced-with-the-april-2014-update-of-office-2013-click-to-run.aspx
http://blogs.office.com/2014/05/14/the-garage-series-for-office-365-updates-to-office-365-proplus-for-admins-and-first-look-at-upcoming-shared-computer-support/
Here's the references you'll need:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219420.aspx#BKMK_C2RUpdates
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219426(v=office.15).aspx
Yes the documentation is spread out all over and is not all up to date. We haven't found the updates to be reliable either and are still frustrated with the lack of any central management or troubleshooting. It's like they released the software
but are still working on the tools to manage it. Good luck.

Detection Methods for Microsoft Office

Hi Guys
It seems the most common detection method for deploying Microsoft Office (in particular for me Office 365 pro plus) is the existence of 'Office15' in %program files%\Microsoft Office 15\
However my concern is that what if some other Office 2013 product has created this folder?
Has anyone used a differnet detection method other than the existence of the folders?
thanks for your help!

That is the best way...
If the condition of Office 2013 components already being installed is met (Folder location exists) just use a custom .msp (instead of the setup.exe with custom.msp) adminfile to alter their installation and enable the components they are required
to have.
Office 365 Pro Plus does not use MSPs the way Office 2013 does so this isn't really applicable -- in fact, it installs Office in a completely different way than Office 2013 does so can't be detected the same way. The registry value noted is the best path
IMO.

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.

What is the best method for backing up photos in IPhoto?

I have over 10,000 photos in IPhoto and am looking for the best method for doing a backup (or an archive?). I'm now using ICloud and it appears it's just photo streaming and does not have storage capability. External hard drive, copying to a DVD, other suggestions?

Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
My Routine
My Library lives on my iMac. It’s Backed up to two external hard disks every day. These disks are permanently attached to the iMac. These back ups run automatically. One is done by Time Machine, one is a bootable back up done by SuperDuper
It’s also backed up to a portable hard disk when ever new photos are added. This hard disk lives in my car. For security, this disk is password protected.
I have a second off-site back up at a relative’s house across town. That’s updated every 3 or 4 months.
My Photos are backed up online. There are many options: Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug etc. However, check the terms of your account carefully. While most sites have free uploading, you will often find that these uploads are limited in terms of the file size or the bandwidth you can use per month. For access that allows you to upload full size pics with no restrictions you may need to pay.
Every couple of months I test the back ups to make sure they are working correctly. It’s very easy to mis-configure a back up application, and the only way to protect against that is to do a trial restore.

Best method for keyframing with 3d camera 1 shot....

Hi I have a project I am working on and basically I am finding the key framing a little frustrating because I cant get the camera to do what I want. Ususally I have no problem in FCP but with Motion it doesnt seem as easy. Bascially what I have done is put up 7 of the same clip all in 3d spread down. What I want the camera to do is zoom close to one. Pause while you read what is on the clip then pan and zoom to the next one. The method I am doing is I hit the record button. Start the zoom to the first object then move timeline to where I want the camera to stop the zoom. I hit the record button again..wait a few frames and then hit it again so I can zoom to the next object. What seems to hahppen is the camera just starts moving to the other object and wont pause for those frames. I would like to know the best method for making this possible.Thanks

hi,
edit them all! Just select them all and choose linear from the control pop up.
if that doesnt work, maybe you could try setting keyframes manually, like you would in FCP. You dont turn on the red button at all, but add keframes for the parameters you want to animate in the Inspector window.
Sometimes I find I have to add two keyframes a frame apart to give that definite stop. This also allows me to play with the timing of the pauses. So set a keyframe where the camera starts to move and one where it stops. Then a frame on set another keyframe without changing the values, then go to the next point you want the camera to move and set another keyframe.... and so on.

Best Method for transferring projects back and fourth

Hello. I will soon be purchasing an iMac for home use and would like to get some advice on project transfer. I will be doing a lot of video editing back and fourth between the office and home. What is the best method for doing this? Where can i locate the files to make sure that I have everything and wont be missing anything when I bring it home, etc. Thanks for any advice!
Brandon

Use a (Firewire 800 or faster) external HD to keep your media, events and projects on.
You can then take the drive to work with you and back home. Use FCP X to transfer (or create) the event and projects on this drive and both macs will recognise it.
The drive must be formatted Mac OS Extended (journaled is not important for video drives).

Best method for networking with ubuntu linux

Hi,
I'm setting up an ubuntu linux fileserver, and I was wondering what the best method for filesharing with my mac is. I'm currently running osx 10.4.11, though I may be upgrading to 10.5 soon. I'll be running SMB networking for a couple of other computers, but I'd prefer something a bit more robust that can handle file permissions etc.

Mac OS X supports NSF out of the box. Configuration isn't documented.
I recall Apple got rid of net info manager in Leopard, so the configuration will be different. Perhaps more unix like.
Mac OS X support the Unix Network File System (NFS). However, it leaves out
the GUI.
This page show you how to use NetInfo Manager:
http://mactechnotes.blogspot.com/2005/09/mac-os-x-as-nfs-server.html#c1168221713 40271068
NFS Manager can both setup NFS shares and connect to NFS shares.
http://www.bresink.com/osx/NFSManager.html
Once you figure out how NFS Manager configures the NFS shares, you can
use Applications > Utilities > NetInfo Manager to create more shares.
You will either have to coordinate Unix Userid number and Unix Group Id number or use the mapall option on the share.
To find out your Mac OS X userid and group id do:
applications > utilities > terminal
ls -ln
ls -l
# lists the NFS share on your mac
showmount -e localhost
#list NFS shares on a remote host
showmount -e remote-ip-address
Once you see what NFS Manager does, you will be able to use NetInfo Manager to manage a connection. In Mac OS 10.4 you can configure the /etc/exports control file. See man exports for the details. Before that you had to have the data in NetInfo manager. When Mac OS X came out, many common Unix control files were not present. Instead the data had to be in NetInfo manager. Over time Apple has added more and more standard Unix control files.
======
You do know about the need to match userids & groupids.
# display uid and gid
ls -ln
sudo find / -user short-user-name -exec ls '-l' {} \;
# on Mac OS X
you will need to go into NetInfo Manager and select user and find your short-user-name. Change uid and guid.
#on Linux look in
/etc/passwd
/etc/group
# with care...
# change 1000:20 to your values for uid:gid
sudo find / -user short-user-name -exec chown 1000:20 {} \;
The manual for Tenon MachTen UNIX (which Apple checked when doing Mac OS
X) says that one should crate the file /etc/exports, which will cause
portmap, mountd and nsfd to launch at startup via the /etc/rc file. The
file must not contain any blank lines or comments, and each line has the
syntax
directory -option[, option] hostlist
where 'directory is the pathname of the directory that can be exported,
and 'hostlist' is a space separated list of hostnames that can access the
directory. For example
/usr -ro foo bar
/etc
/Applications
/User/gladys gladys
The client the uses a command like
/sbin/mount -t type [-rw] -o [options] server:directory mount_point
where 'type' is 'nfs', 'server' the name of the server, 'directory' the
server directory mounted, and 'mount_point' the client mount point. See
'man mount' for details.
I haven't tried the above, but it would be nice to know if it works on Mac OS X.
Hans Aberg
This will give you some hints on NFS. Post back your questions.

Best options for mass pricing load/update?

Hi folks,
I need to design an interface to load PR00 pricing condition data into SAP from a 3rd party (custom) system. The interface will need to support (1) creating brand new condition records, (2) changing existing condition records (example i: price changes but effectivity dates remain the same, example ii: price remains the same, but the effectivity 'to' date changes, etc.), and (3) setting the deletion flag on existing records.
Any thoughts/comments on the best mechanism for getting these pricing updates loaded into SAP? LSMW vs. BAPI , etc? I've spent some time searching and see that there are some BAPI's out there, but that some folks are using LSMW or even BDC. I'm interested in hearing the pros and cons of the various approaches.
FYI, I'm on ECC 6.0.
Thanks in advance!
Allison

Hi,
Writing BDC and BAPI wil take time if your volume of DATA is huge then go for this option
Otherwise I suggest you use LSMW simple and quick method,

What is the best method for saving files off of the hard drive?

I would like to save music files and photos somewhere other than my hard drive (eg. CDs, DVDs, zip disks). What is the best method for doing this?

It rather depends on how paranoid you are
External hard drives protect you from hard disk trouble on your machine.
Optical media (CD's, DVD's) protect you from trouble with magnetic disks - such as external hard drives and the HD in your machine. Optical disks are thought to be more reliable that magnetic disks for long term storage.
Off site back-ups will protect you from fire or theft at your home or office.
How paranoid are you? Personally everything is backed up across three diferent external HD's. And maybe twice a year I burn a copy of my photos onto DVDs and they go to a relative's house across town.

Visual Studio Community 2013 on Windows 8.1 pro - how can I develop for Sharepoint (Office 365)?

Hello everybody from Italy.
As stated on the subject, I'd like to develop some solutions for my Office 365's SharePoint site.
I'm absolutely new to Visual Studio usage, too :-)
I downloaded and installed VS Community 2013 and SharePoint 2013 SDK (along with ... but still no luck, VS keeps saying that I need to have SharePoint installed locally in order to develop solutions for SharePoint.
What now?

Ok, I managed to:
remove the "somewhat offending" custom list (I'll add it later after realizing what I was doing wrong)
create one custom list without any specific feature (I called it List1)
create another list based on Contacts, kept absolutely default (called List2)
build&deploy the app
Ok, now the "app" is there (on my devel environment), doing absolutely nothing (because I didn't create any form or page or whatever). But I have a Contact list! I should be able to sync it to Outlook desktop!
This page helped me to understand how I can reach the list created inside the app (https://devtenant.sharepoint.com/AppName/Lists/List2)
... but I had a bad surprise: no option to sync the Contact list with my Outlook desktop application. This remains true even after having activated the "Offline Synchronization for External Lists" feature inside Site Settings/Site Features menu.
So, the Contact-like list inside the app has lost about 80% of interest... not being able to sync it with Outlook is a severe limitation. I'm assuming that every list created inside an app will suffer of the same problem, is it true?
By the way, how I'm supposed, after having eventually finished my work on the app, to install it on the "real" work environment, that is completely unrelated to the development site (being the "work" site a mere "Business
Premium" Subscription)?
I tried to deploy the app to the "non devel" site with no luck: VS says that the destination site is not configured for sideloading apps.
Many thanks in advance, Ashish.
