Can't Login to SharePoint as an invited External User / Can't Remove All Traces of External User with Microsoft Account

Hi TechNet,
I have an MS SharePoint Online (SharePoint Plan 2) team site, quite simple, one document library etc.
I have successfully added all users (E3) within the organisation to groups, and permissioned correctly.
I have added myself (separate organisation, also Office 365 E3) as an External User, and have access to the website without any problems by authenticating with my Organization account e-mail address.
I have a single user (separate organisation, also Office 365 E3), who's setup is identical to mine (Also Office 365 E3).
However, when this user is added as an External User, they are unable to login, and get "Sign In is not complete":
That didn't work
We're sorry, but [email protected] can't be found in the CLIENT1.sharepoint.com directory. Please try again later, while we try to automatically fix this for you. 
Correlation ID: dc1f7f9c-092b-20b8-7b35-89348ba22f71
Date and Time: 3/20/2014 7:06:55 AM
URL: https://CLIENT1.sharepoint.com/
User: [email protected]
Issue Type: Partner User Invalid.    
I then remove the user using the Site Collection, and using the PRofile Manager, and using Remove-SPOUser, and using Remove-SPOExternalUser. Which is great, he's gone. However when I go to add him back to a group, as soon as I type his e-mail address, it
'Resolves' into his full name! If I have completely(?) removed him form the site, how is he being resolved? And therefore me trying to remove him to re-add him to try and solve the user/directory/auth issue is not working.
Furthermore, upon clicking on said client's username inside SharePoint (after I've 'added him back' of course), his ID, in format: i:0#.f|membership|live.com#[email protected] has an entirely different e-mail address, his Microsoft Account! 
I'm assuming he must have been already signed into his Microsoft Account when he clicked on the External User e-mail invite? If so, I clearly do not want this, how can I remove lal traces of his Microsoft Account, given that I have gone to the lengths as
detailed above?
I have already completed these steps: http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/148/p/228263/709905.aspx
Some possible further reading regarding Microsoft ID's and Organization ID's:

Please let me know if you need any more information regarding this issue, and thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this situation for me and anyone whom encounters it in the future.
Regards,
Evanly.

Hi Scott,
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and respond to my issue.
Certainly, it makes sense that regardless of where the invitation it sent, the user would authenticate with their Microsoft ID.
In my case, I want the user to authenticate using their Microsoft Organisation ID, that they use for their seperate Office 365 account.
This is the way I was able to log in, and worked great. With my client, they are unable to access Sharepoint because once they sign in with their Microsoft Organisation / Office 365 ID, they are told they are not in the directory, because their Microsoft
ID is in the directory and it doesn't match up.
I am simultaneously trying to 1) Remove all traces of this users Microsoft ID, which so far using the above steps, has been unsuccessful; and 2) Invite the user using his Microsoft Organisation ID, and have him authenticate with that (which is proved to
work, as my account uses this).
Looking forward to any more suggestions. Thanks in advance!

  • Can't login to Skype with Microsoft account

    Hello!
    My problem is I can't login to Skype (website and program both) with Microsoft account. When I try to login to Skype on website, it says: There is a problem signing in with Microsoft account. Please try again or sign in with Skype details instead.
    Please help me, I tried so many things and nothing works...

    And me. And I tried to reset my password by getting the "password token" emailed to me. Once received I clicked on the link to reset my password and it told me that my "password token wasn't recognized" and to enter it manually. I did that, going as far as to cut and paste the token, and it wasn't "recognized" again.
    And when I was able to sign in, I couldn't get any new contacts, even though I knew they were presently signed in.

  • Login to WebApi (MVC + WebApi) with Microsoft Account from Windows Store App

    Hi
    How can I access a WebApi Controller (ASP.NET MVC+WebApi) that is secured with Microsoft Account from a Windows Store App?
    I have no idea how to login. I tried the LiveSDK but this gives me only access to OneDrive, Callender and so on.
    Could someone please point me in the right direction.
    Thanks
    Guenter

    Hi Guenter,
    To be clear, you are using Microsoft account as login and at same time you have your own REST service for other functionalities?
    Let's say if you login with LiveSDk, you should be able to get some access token, see this for more information:
    Signing users in, after that use the token to access your REST service, as I understand REST service is a kind of http request, we can use HTTPClient to request data from the address.
    I'm afraid there is no existing sample here but the only thing I found is HTTPClient sample:
    https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/HttpClient-sample-55700664, you can use POST to send your token information to the server.

  • Can a Mac with OS X 10.4 remove all traces of prior ownership?

    I inadvertently posted this earlier to the OS X 10.5 Leopard board. Got a solution for 10.5, but alas this machine is an oldie and will only handle OS X 10.4. Read on ...
    I have a many-years-old 600 MHz PowerPC G3 iMac (Snow White) that I'm planning to sell or donate. Is there documentation anywhere on how to wipe all traces of my ownership? I've done a clean reinstall of Mac OS X v. 10.4.1, upgraded to 10.4.11, so there's no remaining documents or settings, but the install required me to enter registration information, e-mail address, etc.
    How can I hand off a fully configured Mac that can be customized by the new owner to his/her specifications and that leaves no personal data behind? i.e. is just as it comes from the factory.
    Thanks.

    If you have wiped the drive, (zero-overwritten & reformatted) then go and
    install a new system, +quit the Installer prior to the personalization+ section;
    then there is no need to 'deauthorize this computer' from iTunes store.
    In fact, the only reference to the computer would be, as you mentioned,
    in the other records to the owned computers listed as 'authorized' in the
    iTunes store itself. Of course, you covered that in a way; but the actual
    computer without any online records within it, which has been wiped,
    would not be able to reconnect to the iTunes store & the former account.
    If the computer had been totally restored from a fully erased hard disk
    drive with a new installation of the prospective OS X version, and then
    the computer minimally personalized to the point where further OS X
    updates to the 10.4 system were done, so it has 10.4.11, all Java update,
    last QuickTime, last Security Update, recent browser(s), Flash/Shockwave;
    and maybe a copy of OnyX by Titanium Software; etc.
    Then, there's a way to have the computer re-run the Setup, so the first install-
    user account wiped out; and a new first-run on restart Setup will commence
    when the new owner gets the computer home and starts it up.
    Except, the computer would already have all available updates installed;
    yet would be non-personalized and act like a new computer on first start.
    This information, using Terminal or other super-user access, has been
    noted and detailed elsewhere in the Apple Support Discussions. And this
    is what I was referring to in an earlier post; it removes all traces of prior
    ownership and does allow the new owner to not have to figure out how
    to go through and update the recent the OS X on an old OS. For some
    new users of Mac OS X, they are too lost to even get into this process.
    Anyway, hopefully you've found satisfactory results in the paths available
    to prepare the computer for a second owner, so their experience is as
    good as it can be without any uncharacteristic issues for a new owner.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How can I remove all traces of Facebook, Yahoo, Google, and Twitter from my computer?

    Hello. I have noticed some very annoying adware/malware/bloatware, whatever it is called. I can not seem to get Google, Yahoo, Twitter, and Facebook off of my computer. When I go to empty my cache and cookies etc from Safari these websites come right back into my top sites. What gives? I don't use these sites. How can I get this garbage off of my computer and keep it from coming back? It's like a virus or something with how annoyingly persistent it is.
    Thanks.

    Andy, thank you.
    Question one:
    I will investigate the .NET Framework Cleanup Tool, which Styxen (to whom I also thank) also pointed me at.
    Question two:
    I’m still confused. 
    I installed my new Windows 7 SP1 system on the 5 November 2013 and Windows Update subsequently offered a number of updates to .NET Framework 3.5.1 which are all successfully installed. 
    KB958488, KB979900, and KB982526 are all old updates now and, with the exception of KB958488, have never been offered by Windows Update and are not installed on my system. 
    As mentioned in my original post, KB958488 is installed on my system but I believe that it was installed without my knowledge by the installation of the Mouse and Keyboard Center or possibly by .NET Framework 4 Client Profile.
    If Windows Update had independently determined that my system needed or could benefit from KB958488, your post appears to suggest that Windows Update would have offered
    KB982526 instead.
    And, of course, I still have no explanation as to why, if KB958488 is an update to .NET Framework 3.5.1, all its files appear to belong to .NET Framework 4 and my update history believes it belongs
    to .NET Framework 4 as well.
