Exchange Server setting for Outlook 2013 in Office Customization Tool

Hello,
I'm try to configure Office Customization Tool such that when a domain user logs into any workstation, their outlook profile is automatically configured and the shared department email account is added as the secondary mailbox but it hasn't worked for me.
I looked up for the settings on the internet where I found a few server settings but none of them worked for me. We have Office365; I added outlook.office365.com, and the settings that starts with chprod.. that didn't work either. I also sent a test email,
and looked up the server settings from messageheaderanalyzer in office365 OWA and added the settings in the OCT, that couldn't pull up the email either. How can I make it to work?
Just to be clear, this is what I want.
When a user logs in to the workstation and starts outlook, it should find the users email and configure it automatically. Then it should also add department mailbox as their secondary mailbox if they have permission.
Thanks

There is however an Outlook Group Policy
Template: "Automatically configure profile based on Active Directory Primary SMTP address"
"This policy setting controls whether users who are joined to a domain in an Active Directory environment can change the primary SMTP address that is used when they set up accounts in Outlook.
If this policy setting is enabled, users can create a new profile by entering a profile name. The profile is created without using the New Account wizard. No user interface appears as the profile is created, which might cause users to think that the computer
has crashed.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, users joined to a domain in an Active Directory environment, and without a configured email account, see the current logged in user’s primary SMTP address entered in the email address box in the New
Account wizard. The email address can be changed to configure a different account. Or, if Next is clicked, the default settings are used."

Cannot Save Word files as a PDF in Office 2013 with Office customization tool

Hello
I'm deploying office 2013 as a part of a post clone task. Using the customization tool I created an msp with the full installation (without outlook,Link, or skydrive) I noticed that I cannot save or export files as PDF files. If I do a manual
install (without MSP) I can save files as pdf. I can't find anywhere in the customization tool that allows me to choose different "save as" file types. In office 2010 I used to be able to save word files as PDF files. Any ideas would
be greatly appreciated.
Charles

Hi,
In regarding the issue, could you give me more information? Did you test to install the Office 2013 by using MSP and manual installation in the same computer? Did the other Office suits can not save files as pdf?
Let's do some test to narrow down the issue:
If you use the only one computer to test, please export a new MSP file include all the suits and use the all the default setting. Then we follow the
link to deploy again.
If the issue still exists, please try to change a computer, and update Adobe programs to install the new MSP file to test.
If you get some error message when you save as pdf through Word, please upload, I'll do more deeply research.

Change the Exchange server name in outlook

Hello All,
Configured two Exchange server 2010. Both server have Mailbox, CAS and HUB installed. All the user use outlook (Exchange Client). All outlook configured with exchange server host name not mapi name. Now i need to change the exchange server name in outlook.
Is there any procedure to change the Exchange server name for outlook automatically. Please suggest.
Thanks

Hi,
Let’s begin with the partition named when RPC endpoint Changes in the following article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/aljackie/archive/2013/11/14/outlook-rpc-end-point-and-pf-the-microsoft-exchange-administrator-has-made-a-change-that-requires-you-quit-and-restart-outlook.aspx
“To add further on the cas array, the Outlook clients with an existing Outlook profile would continue to use the old RPC endpoint rather than the new RPC endpoint (even though Autodiscover detected the change). This is because the old RPC endpoint does not
return an ecWrongServer response to the client. The RPC endpoint accepts the connection; therefore, Outlook ignores the Autodiscover response because it has a working connection.”
In this case, except with recreating a profile, we can move mailboxes to force the Outlook client to do a profile discovery and update the profile based on new information.
For more information about moving mailboxes, please refer to the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124495(v=exchg.141).aspx

Online Archives for Outlook 2013 do not appear in Outlook 2013 running on Terminal Server

Hello,
We are currently attempting to get our users away from using PST files and instead use the Personal Online Archive feature but have come across a problem
Environment
Windows 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Server)
Office 2013
Citrix 6.5 XenApp
So on the Exchange side I went through the steps of setting up my PST use as a guinea pig for testing. I was able to setup the Archive database, enable archiving on my mailbox, and import my PST into the Archive database.
I then opened Outlook 2013 on my stand-alone PC and there was my Online Archive. Great!
I then double checked and also saw it on the OWA site on the Exchange server. Super!
I finally logged into our RDS (Terminal) server and opened Outlook 2013 there. But the Online archive was not there. Hmmm..
I did some researching and this article about Outlook 2010 suggested it was a permission issue:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/1e8d5d4b-e26b-4be6-b646-eb6e796c6295/exchange-2010-mail-archive-missing-in-outlook-2010-shows-in-owa?forum=outlook
So I ran through those steps in Powershell but no change.
I also don't think it's a licensing issue because the license I have on my stand-alone PC is the same volume license keys (MAK) as on my Terminal Server.
Soo... I'm a bit stuck and was hoping for some help. I can't proceed with migrating other PST files to the online archive until I get this resolved.
Thanks

Hi,
In theory,
Outlook reads the
msExchDelegateLink attribute of the user in AD to display the additional mailbox (Online Archive folder).
Since the standalone client can display the archive mailbox properly, it seems this attribute is available in AD. I suspect the issue locates on the way that the terminal
clients access the server. I suggest we check whether the client has properly permission to connect to AD when accessing remotely.

How do I leverage a custom theme for Outlook 2013?

Microsoft has a problem. They use the term "theme" in Office in 2 different ways: 1) the 3 background colors you can choose of the Office applications and 2) a collection of colors, fonts, and layout that can be customized and defined by the user
for the applications.
I know how to create a theme in PowerPoint and save it as a default for all new presentations. Allegedly you can you this across Office applications but this is where it breaks down (as far as my user experience goes).
I've created a theme in PowerPoint. It has my custom colors. I want to use that same collection in Outlook.
I can apply it on a email by email basis (Options menu for an email), but I want the default email (new or reply) to use that custom theme. I see my theme in the drop down menu under a heading of Custom, but there isn't a way to set it as default
(behavior differs from PowerPoint here).
So I look under the Outlook File menu, then Options and select Mail. You can change stationary, but the custom theme isn't an option there.
Then there is Styles under the Format Text menu when in a new email. There are color options and font options, but again, no way to leverage the work I did in creating the custom theme.
Searching on customizing themes for Outlook only gets me answers on the first use of the word theme, not the latter.
Is there no way to you the theme I created for Outlook 2013?

Its very simple - if you want a product that remains consistent and does not change its layout every few years, that is fully customizable, and will remain being supported by subsequent operating systems, then get an open source product running in an open
source OS. It seems that you can no longer rely on MS to provide consistency, stability, or support for their own products.
When will MS realise that customer familiarity with their products is their intellectual property, like branding, which you would never trash every five years. Imagine that MS wanted to change their name to a new company name, or their Outlook brand to Inlook
- it would never happen. So why is thee trade getup and arrangement changing so often and against what their customers want? Is it to justify thee new products? Maybe with cloud and 365, they will finally be happy and stop mucking about with what works (after
they change everything back to '95 /XP format?).

How to fix acrobat/pagemaker plug-in for Outlook 2013 from disabling on restart?

I have an issue with one of my customers where they have to go in and manually enable the Adobe Acrobat plug-in for Outlook 2013 every time they close and re-open Outlook or restart their computer. When I go into Add-Ins in Outlook the plug-in isn't in the disabled COM add-ins, but in the Inactive Application Add-ins section and the user needs to click on Go and then check the box to enable it. This happens everytime Outlook is restarted or the computer is restarted. Anyone seen this issue and have a fix? it's a Windows 7 pro machine running Adobe Acrobat X and Office 2013 (cloud install). Office and Windows are all patched and up to date. Running "check for updates" within Acrobat says it's up to date also. Thanks for any input or help in advance.

Sounds like the Security settings in the registry for Outlook 2013/Office 2013 are stuck and not letting you permantly change/the setting. This has more to do with Office than it does with Acrobat so you may want to go to the MS website to see where these settings live in the Windows registry.

Migrate from Exchange Server 2010 sp3 to 2013 sp1

I have one Exchange Server 2010 SP3 server (300 mailboxes) installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 with three major roles on it (CAS, MB and HT) - typical installation. Edge Transport server is not installed thus for controlling of mail flow
Symantec Messaging Gateway Virtual Appliance is used as Smart Host. UM server is not installed either. I set up test domain environment where I installed one domain controller (Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1) and one Exchange Server 2010 SP3 (Windows
Server 2008 R2 SP1) at first place and yesterday I did everything necessary to install Exchange Server 2013 SP1 on new test virtual server running Windows Server 2012 R2 which I successfully did.
Now in test domain I have two Exchange Servers (2010 SP3 and 2013 SP1). Is there any 100% reliable documentation with all actions that had to be taken in order to successfully migrate Exchange Server 2010 SP3 to 2013 SP1? I would want to know what
needs to be done not only for my scenario but also for other scenarios (DAG, CAS array, Edge, UM, multiple HT servers . . .) since I am interested in digging deep into Exchange Server 2013.

SQL server requirement for sharepoint 2013

Hello All,
currently i have installed SharePoint2013 in server farm mode, and i have used SQL Server 2008 R2 for DB. Can i use SQL Server 2012 for SharePoint 2013?
Thanks

SharePoint 2013 is compatible with SQL 2008 R2 and SQL 2012 so yes.
What you can do is "move" the SharePoint DBs from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2012 without restore or backup.
Link to msdn: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc512725(v=office.15).aspx
Here you have an example for SharePoint 2010 (is the same for SharePoint 2013): http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/664029/Migrate-SharePoint-s-SQL-Server-to-another-SQL-Ser

Install of the CRM for Outlook 2013 client fails

Hi,
I don't know if I'm in the right place to post, but here I am :
Some people in my organization have got an Office 365 license as well as a
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online account. I want to install the client CRM For Outlook in order to allow them to manage the CRM from their Outlook client.
So I've downloaded the soft Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant for IT Professionals RTW (as it's specified I should install it first), and downloaded the
CRM for Outlook 2013 client.
The steps followed
Test was made on a Dell laptop with Win 7 x64 Pro. :
Closed Outlook
Installed the first one (MS Online Services ... -IT Pro)
Tried to install the CRM with domain admin privileges. It failed
with the following warnings in the log file :
15:35:51|Warning| Failed to register notify interface. Error : 0x800704dd.
15:37:10|Warning| Failed to add the file C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\MSCRM_{B7297F92-E151-4897-870D-CDDF179FC6CE}\SSCERuntime_x64-1036.exe to the created job. Error : 0x800704dd.

15:37:12| Error| Installation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook failed.
But it works on other environment
On the other hand, I've tested it on my computer (Win 7 x64 as well) and it succeeded. For both computers, I use Outlook 2010, and every system hadn't any trace of CRM for Outlook before.
Note : I only wrote the
Warning events, not the information tagged events. I searched for this problem across the Web; unfortunatly nobody seems to have reported this specific issue.
Note 2 : If you need any complementary information, I'll be glad to provide it.
So I am asking, where can be the matter ? Thanks in advance for any help !

Hi,
Try to perform a clean boot then install the CRM 2013 for Microsoft Office Outlook.
To perform a clean boot:
Log on to the computer by using an account that has administrator rights.
Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box, and then press Enter to start the System Configuration utility.
Note If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, you should type the password or provide confirmation.
Collapse this imageExpand this image
On the General tab, click the Selective startup
option, and then click to clear the Load startup items check box. (The
Use Original Boot.ini check box is unavailable.)
Collapse this imageExpand this image
On the Services tab, click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box, and then click
Disable all.
Collapse this imageExpand this image
Note This step lets Microsoft services continue to run. These services include Networking, Plug and Play, Event Logging, Error Reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you may permanently delete all restore points. Do not
do this if you want to use the System Restore utility together with existing restore points.
Click OK, and then click Restart.
This way we can eliminate the affect by background programs, install the software to see if the error still occurs.
If the issue persists in clean boot, please collect the Setup log files from this path:
SystemDrive:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\MSCRM\Logs
Send the logs to our email address for further analysis:

Bussiness Contact Manager for outlook 2013 download hijacked by

HI
I am using Outlook 2013 downloaded as part of the Office 365 small business premium package. I am trying to download Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2013 (via
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=36513).
The file downloads fine, and then when I go to run the file the download seems to get hijacked by Premium Installer (see screenshot).
The BCM file then will not download irrespective of whether I accept or decline the Premium Installer download.
The file seems to have something to do with Zoom Downloader.
I have tried to remove Zoom Downloader with various anti malware software (hitman pro, Malwarebytes, etc etc).
I have scanned my machine with the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool and AVG and neither have picked up a threat.
Please help as I do not know whether this is a problem with my machine or the particular download.
Thanks

I did a complete uninstall of Driver Tuner, including making sure all traces were removed and after each attempt of downloading Business Contact Manager the download file still tries to install Driver Tuner and I cancel the installation.
Strange that you say you can download with no problem, but have you tried to install? Microsoft Tech support was having the same problem and was having trouble even finding a mirror site that BCM could be download from without experiencing the same problems
of the download trying to install a different program.
Have you tried downloading BCM recently? Perhaps you could share where a clean copy of BCM 2010 can be downloaded. And before you think there is no problem, try and install it. After the extraction is when another program tries to install.
Again, short of formatting my drive and reinstalling all programs, everything has been checked and my system is clean.
So you think Time Warner Cable DNS has been hijacked? If so, why is it only the program files from the Microsoft site that has this problem.
Please share the site where a clean copy of BCM 2010 can be downloaded.
I visited the link provided by the OP and downloaded the offered file
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=36513
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/confirmation.aspx?id=36513
http://download.microsoft.com/download/B/3/3/B333E334-EBEB-451E-AE76-ACD0C1AB1A6A/BCM2010-BCMSetup-x86-en-US.exe
It has downloaded cleanly for me, extracted, installed, and running fine, no sign of DriverTuner or anything else that has been mentioned here so far.
I did need to have Office2013 installed - this BCMsetup refuses to install with only Office2010 (despite the filename, not all that surprising).
So I'm guessing that your uninstallation of DriverTuner might have left some remnants behind, and that is probably hooking/intercepting the download and/or the BCMsetup you're doing, or there's some other crapware lingering.
And true, I agree it's unlikely that Time Warner Cable DNS has been hijacked (but at the time you posted, who knew if you were using an ISP DNS or some other local thing) - it's much more likely that your pc is infested with some further junk.
I'm in Australia, so I could be contacting a different Akamai CDN host than you are using, but since there aren't floods of people complaining about the same issue you're having, I'd guess it is a localised issue for you.

Need free OST viewer tool to help to view OST files without connecting to MS Exchange Server and MS Outlook.

Need free OST viewer tool to help to view OST files without connecting to MS Exchange Server and MS Outlook.

Hi Howard,
As I know, Microsoft does not provide any kind of inbuilt tool or free software to only view OST file, even without the connectivity with exchange server (Offline).
Try SysTools OST Viewer freeware which helps you to view all OST file save at your system in an easy way, whether you want to see the attachments or other items of OST file.
Note: This is a free inbuilt utility, but try it on your own risk as I am not much aware about it and its working. But this tool sounds good according to your requirement and hopefully it would give you 100% satisfaction.
Thanks

Configuring Office 2013 Default Font Type via Group Policy / Office Customization Tool

Hello,
I'm trying to get a default font set for all word 2013 Users that access word via the Terminal Server. I have not been able to find any articles that shows how to get it done, though i found this technet link (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179141.aspx)
which says to use the Office Customization Tool, but I see no options for font type/size change in the options when I use the OCT. Thanks a lot for your help.
Sola

Chris,
My question extends beyond Word. We have some older printers that do not have Calibri in them, so any office product that prints Calibri comes out garbage. Some things simply cannot be changed as needed (ex: outlook body messages can not be changed).
How can I change back to Arial for everything office produces. Thanks in advance, my users are ready to kill me.
Mark
a) I haven't seen printers which use "hard" fonts in over 15 years - are you sure about that?
b) this might help you:

Problem with windows security pop up on Surface 2 after setting up Outlook 2013 RT (on 8.1 RT) using exchange server

I guess my question is too advanced for the other forum... But I doubt I am advanced enough to understand your replies...

Hi,
This issue can be caused by following factors:
Exchange issue.
Corrupted user profile
Unstable network connections
To find the root cause of the issue, please try following steps to see what’s going on:
Step 1: Please try to log on your account by using OWA. If the issue still persists, please contact your exchange server admin to check your account.
Step 2: Please rename the OST file under C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook and restart your Outlook, it will be recreated.
Step 3: Disable the power saver on your network adapter under Adapter properties -> Power management.
Hope these could be helpful.

Out of office/free busy not working for Outlook 2013

Hi! I have a user on our network that cannot use Out of office or see free/busy information in meeting requests. We have hundreds of working 2010 clients but this one is 2013 and NOT a member of our domain. They are connected to exchange
and can do anything except the above. When I do a test of email autoconfiguration it just fails. DNS resolution is working fine but it can't connect to the server for these two functions only. Any articles I can find assume the user is remote
and outside the network but he is connected internally. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi,
Please switch to Outlook 2010 client and login OWA to check this issue.
The Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Availability service makes free/busy information available to Outlook client. Then Outlook uses the Exchange Server 2010 Autodiscover service to obtain the URL of the Availability service. As you
mentioned, it failed to do a test of email autoconfiguration. So I suggest the following methods for troubleshooting
Please switch to Outlook 2010 client and login OWA to check this issue.
Have you configured
Autodiscover Service for Internet Access?
Use Test-OutlookWebServices cmdlet to
verify that the Autodiscover service settings for Outlook clients are configured correctly.

reference to troubleshooting Autodiscover.
