Office 365 Group Policies question

We initially deployed Office 365 with updates turned off so about half of our users have an old version of Office 365. We want to now manage the updates using the new group policies for O365. I read this statement ...In
order for these four new policy settings to work, you will need to have at least the April 2014 build of Office 2013 Click-to-Run (Build 15.0.4605.1003) and download the latest Administrative templates files (ADMX/ADML).
Does this mean that the version on the PC has to have at least the April 2014 build to use the policies? If that's true how would I go about updating the users who have automatic updates turned off. there are a couple of thousand users.

Yes.
Depending on how you deployed/deploy Office365ProPlus, and, the tools/techniques available to you in your environment, there are some options.
a) re-deploy Office365ProPlus to the computers. Use the latest build version.
b) check the relevant registry settings, and if correction is needed, deploy the correct registry settings.
These articles may help you to determine which of the multiple scenarios you have to deal with:

Office 365 group email attachment in outlook for desktop

Hello,
I am wondering is there is a way to send an email to a o365 group and attach a file to it so that the file gets uploaded automatically to one drive. Basically I would like to have this functionality outside OWA. Is there any way to achieve this?
Thanks.

Hi,
There is no such feature in Outlook for desktop version that can be used to achieve the goal. I'd recommend you post your question in the Script Center forum to see if this can be achieved via coding:

Address book not syncing with Office 365

I use Office 365 as my primary work email. I have elected to sync my Office 365 address book with my MBA running 10.7.
Most of the time it works OK, but I often get an error sign next to the Office 365 group in the Address Book. The error generally says "Address Book cannot save the contact <name> to the Exchange Server and gives me the option to Revert to Server or go Offline.
If I elect to revert to server, the error goes away but sync still doesn't work. If I restart Address Book I get the same error with another contact.
Is there a way to validate the entire address book rather than having to continually restart the Address Book app?

Waiting was the key solution here!
After waiting aprox 2/3 hours it worked. Changed nothing...

Office 365 Monitoring using SCOM 2012 R2

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=43708
We have imported MP for O365 and added the new subscription (with Global Administrator permissions using Office 365 admin )after that we got an alert like below:
Connection to EndPoint Service failed
Any idea what would be the issue here?
Sengo

Hi,
It's the correct page response "EndPoint not found", if you try to access the https://office365servicehealthcommunications.cloudapp.net/shdtenantcommunications.svc
page.
The blank username and passwords are Ok as well, but be careful to edit your credentials from the subscription page, as they are not changed in this case in the Office365 Run As Account, looks like a bug. Therefore, edit them only through
the Accounts menu, or create a new subscription.
The management pack communicates exactly to the mentioned above page only, it's not possible to use IPs, as they could be changed at MS servers side. The host should be whitelisted in case if you have firewalls\proxy. At the same time, depending
on your network\proxy\subscription configurations, possible issues could exist because of certificates and authorization at different levels.
In case of proxy - the Office 365 Proxy Run As Account should be configured. It's automatically created during installation of MP, but the account with Internet access should be added there. Take in attention that using the Office365 Run As
Account does not work out. Therefore the separate Windows account should be created and used as the Office 365 Proxy Run As Account, even if it's the same as the Office365 Run As Account. When using the proxy account, one of the Monitoringhost.exe
processes works under this account. If the proxy account is not configured, this process works under the system account. The proxy account was not documented in Office365 MP manual.
Don't change the default name of created Office 365 Run As accounts, somehow it affects the connection monitor.
Hope it helps :)
Natalya
Hi Natalya,
Thanks for this post. Indeed my SCOM server is behind a proxy. Let's say my Office 365 account is called "SCOM.O365" - it appears under Administration - Accounts under Basic Authentication, with the "friendly" name of "Office 365
Run As Account_xxxxx". Do you mean I create a second account under "Windows" (it would be Active Directory based) also called "SCOM.O365" that the MP will use for proxy, and the MP will automatically run MonitoringHost.exe with this
AD account?
thanks!

How to create public group in office 365 admin panel?

Dear Microsoft ,
I try to create group in office 365 admin panel but in that group when i add outsider mail id eg([email protected],[email protected]) is not created ...it's showing error.Can please help me to how i create public group in office 365 ?

Hi,
Which error message does it show?
Based on my research, internal users (users that have a mailbox in your organization) and external users (people that don’t have a mailbox in you organization) can be added as members of a distribution group. However, only external users
that have been added to your organization’s address book (also known as shared contacts), can be members of a group. For information about how to add external users to your organization’s address book, see
Create and use shared contacts.
Hope this helps.

Need to create new users in Office 365 with custom attributes from a csv file

I am exporting users from an active directory environment and then deleting them from AD. They are Alumni and will no longer be in AD.
I have a csv file with the following fields that I need to use to create new Alumni email boxes in Office 365 for. I need the CustomAttributes because my Dynamic Distribution Groups use them. I am fairly new to PowerShell and have been unable to get this
to work. I suspect I may have to split it into two parts, but am not sure how to proceed. Any assistance would be appreciated. I was directed here from the Office 365 community.
Import-Csv -Path c:\CSVfiles\CreateAlumni.csv | ForEach-Object {
   New-MsolUser -FirstName $_.FirstName -LastName $_.LastName
   -UserPrincipalName $_.UserPrincipalName
   -DisplayName "$($_.FirstName) $($_.LastName)"
   -Password $_.Password
   -CustomAttribute1 $_.CustomAttribute1

   -CustomAttribute11 $_.CustomAttribute11
   -CustomAttribute12 $_.CustomAttribute12
   -LicenseAssignment 'domaincom:EXCHANGESTANDARD_ALUMNI'
   -UsageLocation US

Ok, it wasn't stopping after 2 iterations. What I was seeing was 2 failures. The first was the Get-Mailbox command and the second was when it tried to assign attributes. For some reason it is not looping when it fails. It just goes on and tries to assign
the Custom Attributes. I added writes in to tell me what was happening.

How to add Distribution Group email alias from CSV in office 365

Hello Forum!
Hope someone can help me troubleshoot this or even let me know if its not possible. But, I used powershell to import distribution groups and set primary emails in Office 365. That worked great, but we have two domains and i would like to add an email alias
to all my DGs for the other domain.
This was my best attempt and its not going well:
Import-CSV "C:\distributionlists.csv" | foreach {Set-DistributionGroup "$_.Name" -EmailAddresses SMTP:$_.PrimarySmtpAddress,$SecondarySmtpAddress}
$_.Name is the column name for my DGs. IE: DL-IT
$_.PrimarySmtpAddress is the column name for my primary email. IE: [email protected]
$_.SecondarySmtpAddress is the column name for my email alias. IE: [email protected]

Hi,
Based on my understanding, the below code should work when your manually run it:
Set-DistributionGroup "DL-accounting"
-EmailAddresses SMTP:<Primary Email>,<Alias Email>
If all those distribution groups have been already created, then use set-distributiongroup command should work. How about first new those distribution group, and then run foreach block to do the loop.

Office 365 : Email distribution group

Hi,
We have a scenario where user will create a list item in Office 365 SharePoint 2013 and when the list item is created, an email will be sent through a designer workflow.
The list item will have a column (people and group column ? ) where the user will add the distribution group to which the email should be sent. Can we create the distribution groups in exchange online containing external users (users not from domain..they
can be gmail, yahoo etc) and use them in people and group column in sharepoint.
If not, how can this be achieved ?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use external user in people and group column in SharePoint Online.
First, we need to add external user to the site. Please refer to:
Office 365 & SharePoint 2013 Online: Managing external users
Then we can create a list and add People/Group column.
Finnaly, we can select the external user in the column:

Creating Distribution List and Member in Office 365

Hi Guys,
My requirements is to write the .Net web-service through which i need to creating the below in office 365 programmatically. Can anyone suggest which way to go. I know there are Rest Web service for it but i need to know whether we can do it through Office
365 API's.
1) Distribution List
2) Member

You cannot create or modify distribution lists in the Global Address List via the Office 365 APIs. You would need to use PowerShell cmdlets to do this.
