Free office 365 with purchase

Hello i recently purchased a ipad air at your brandon fl location but i was not made aware of the free office 365 promotion you had so never received my copy is there anything i can do now to get it? the purchase was made march 23rd 2015. If i need to go back to the store i can but its about a 40 min drive from me so if i can do something to get it sorted on here would be very helpful.

Hello Christopher-
Congratulations on your new iPad Air purchase. I’m sorry to hear that you may have missed out on the Microsoft Office 365 promotion at the time you made your purchase.
In digging deeper into this promotion, it looks like it was started on March 19th and runs through April 4th, so your purchase on March 23rd would not have qualified for the promotion. Per the terms of the offer found here, previous purchases are excluded from this offer. I can only recommend speaking with your local store to see if they have any options to provide before the promotion ends at close on April 4th.
I apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause you.

Free One Year Subscription to MS Office 365 With Purchase of HP Stream 7 Signature

How do I access or download my free one year subscription to MS Office 365 Online, having purchased an HP Stream 7 Signature Edition this week? I can find no instructions anywhere from Microsoft! You would think they would make it obvious how to do it.
Thanks for your help.

Do I need to purchase Office 365 A3 plan for faculty to get free Office 365 ProPlus for students in Office 365?

Hi there
Our school has A2 plan for both students and faculty. We recently contacted our reseller and placed an order for free Office 365 ProPlus A for our students. We received an acknowledgement from Microsoft regarding this order saying that it was successfull
and I can see the license added when I log into the VLSC website. Problem is, I can't see this licence listed when I log into Office 365 admin. It is not listed under subscriptions or licenses. Apologize for my ignorance, but I don't know how can I get this
license added in Office 365 so that our students can start using editable versions of office apps on their IPADs. Do we need to purchase Office 365 A3 plan for our staff to get this student's license enabled in Office 365? Can somebody please help?

I have similar questions concerning getting started with the Student Advantage program offering.
I've read the blog posts and made as many as 5 calls to Office 365 and still do not understand how to get this going.
We have a subscription to Education A2 for both faculty and students that we started in January 2014. We receive this at no charge. So I'm starting with a subscription at no cost. I do not have an Education Reseller because we started our
subscription through the website with a trial and had that converted to the no cost A2 plan.
When I am in the portal and look under 'Purchase Services' I can see the option to add Office ProPlus for Faculty at $2.00/user/month and for Office ProPlus for Students at $1.50/user/month. My understanding of Student Advantage is that if I license
all my faculty/staff accounts for Office ProPlus I would then get the Student access at no charge. So I've licensed the Office ProPlus for Faculty for all of our faculty accounts yet I cannot get a clear answer about how to get the Student accounts added
at no cost.
I most recently was told by Office 365 support that I needed to speak to a reseller, which I did today. He told me that I would need to do one of two things.
1. Upgrade my no cost A2 faculty accounts to A3. Which for me and what I see in the portal would take them from $0 to $4.50/user/month. With that A3 for faculty I would get the Office ProPlus for the Students accounts on A2 at no charge.
2. I would need an Open Value license covering all school FTEs for Office at a cost of about $29/user/year.
Both of these options are higher than licensing all Faculty accounts for Office ProPlus via the portal at $2/user/month which I have already done.
So I don't understand why that doesn't qualify us for Student Advantage and now have to license all FTE, most of whom don't even touch a computer, for Office.

Migrate from Google Apps to Office 365 with admin credentials only

Hi team,
We are migrating from Google Apps to Office 365. I know the normal procedure of migrating, but I want to know how to migrate from gmail to office 365 with administrator credentials. Normally for migration, we use user's mail ID and password in CSV file.
But I don't want to use users credentials, instead I want to use only Administrator credentials.
Thanks in Advance...

A third party tool such as MigrationWiz can accomplish this task. More information on how to set up administrative access can be found here:
https://community.bittitan.com/kb/Pages/GoogleApps%20to%20Office365%20Migration%20Guide.aspx

With Multi-Factor Authentication ENABLED how can a admin connect remotely to manage Office 365 with PowerShell

With Multi-Factor Authentication ENABLED how can office 365 admin connect remotely to manage Office 365 with Power-Shell ?
When I key-in my credentials, auth fails with invalid username and password ?
Does any know the procedure ?

This question was closed over a year ago. You will need to start a new question. You can post a link back here if you think it helps.
I also recommend asking in the O365 developers forum for how to do bulk license upgrades. You can use the answer here and just remove and then add the new license.

Migrate exchange 2003 to office 365 with single singon

Dear All,
We are going to migrate our mail systems from exchange server 2003 to office 365 with single sing-on.
Please advice me the best way and guide line (information) to do it smoothly.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Andres parnova,
Thanks for your information.
I found series of articles in msexchange.org
http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/office-365/exchange-online/performing-staged-exchange-migration-office-365-exchange-online-part1.html which has very nice and clear information.
But, in the articles the author did not include ADFS configuration and steps.
I would like to know how to configure ADFS and single sing-on.

Office 365 with mail id in another host

I have purchased office 365 license and hosted my site in Go dady. Is it possible to link my email to office 365 from go dady?

Hi Elvin,
This is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office client. There is not so much about Office 365 admin/hosted aspects here, I would suggest you to post in the forum of
Office 365 Community, where you can get more experienced responses:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/default.aspx
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

Cannot open document because Office keeps trying to sign in to Office 365 with the wrong account

Problem: I cannot open Office documents from SharePoint on Office 365 because Office tries to sign in with my Microsoft account instead of my Office 365-account.
History
When we started the project, I did not have an Office 365-account yet for the organization I was working for. To get temporary access to SharePoint a colleague invited me on my Microsoft Account to gain access to SharePoint. This worked fine and I
was able to access SharePoint. A few days later I received my official Office 365 account, so I also got e-mail etc. Because I now have an official Office 365 account, we removed my Microsoft Account from SharePoint. So now I only have access to SharePoint
with my Office 365 account.
The problem is that I can no longer open documents in Office. In the web version everything works fine, but if I want to open a document in for example Word, it says the document cannot be opened. Sometimes it shows a screen which says "Something
went wrong". If I click through to go back to the website, it show me that it tried to login with my Microsoft Account and that this account does not have access to the site. It suggests to sign out and login with a different account, but this leads to
a page that does not exist. I cannot figure out how to make Word use my Office 365 account.
What I have already tried
-Remove all my browser history and temporary files
-Add Office 365 as a connected service in Office. I can sign-in with my Office 365 account and the location is added, but I still cannot open documents.
-Tried a different pc. But because Office syncs al my settings, I got the same problem on all my pc’s.
-Removed all my Windows credentials via the credential manager in the control panel. If I also remove the credentials for my Microsoft Account, Office cannot sign in anymore. At this point, if I try to access SharePoint, it asks me for my credentials
and I have access to the documents. However, if I restore my Microsoft Account in Office again by entering my password, the problem is back.
-As a work around I can add my Office 365 account as a separate Office account. I have access then, but it is really annoying because every time I want to open a document, I have to open Word, switch accounts, close Word and open the document. It is
not capable of automatically selecting the account to use.
Conclusion and question
I have also worked with other Office 365 organizations which I can easily add to the connected services in Office and they work fine. So somehow Office has linked my Microsoft Account to this organization of Office 365 and it refuses to use the correct
account. Does anybody know how to unlink my Microsoft Account from this Office 365 organization so that I can use the correct account?

Try these steps from the source linked below:
Stop connecting to a connected account
You can stop connecting to a connected email account in Outlook Web App by removing the connection.
In Outlook Web App, click Settings >
Options > Account > Connected accounts.
Under Account Name, select the account you want to stop connecting to.
Click Delete to remove the connection.
Click Yes in the dialog box to confirm that you want to stop connecting to the account.

Login ID best practice. Windows 8, Office 365 with SkyDrive and SkyDrive PRO

I have had many confusing issues with multiple and conflicting ID's. I have just spent 3 hours online with MS technical support to discover that a document can be edited in Word and saved to Sharepoint365 but if it is synched with the
desktop and that one is edited then the local signon sets the wrong permissions and the upload centre fails.
I have two MSOL Office/365 accounts, both Enterprise level with SkyDrive Pro.
I have two Live accounts, both with SkyDrive.
I am using Windows 8 so need to signon with a live ID or local and non-linked account.
Assuming I configured;
1. W8 user account with Live ID AAA and only used MSOL/365 Account BBB in a session.
2. W8 user account with Live ID ZZZ and only used MSOL/365 Account XXX in a session.
Would that be okay?
1. Should I be able to access AAA Skydrive and BBB SkyDrive Pro in the same session?
2. If I synch SharePoint folders from a BBB session should I be able to edit them directly in word, with user account BBB active and be able to save okay?
Cheers, Richard
RC

In Windows Live you could create alias account which means you have one Windows Live Account but login with multiple email. You create one account and then link Office365 account as alias to it. You could have one Windows 8 account and different Office365
account too.
You could also configure your Office365 account to use your Windows Live Id and login with that account.

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
   -CustomAttribute3 $_.CustomAttribute3
   -CustomAttribute10 $_.CustomAttribute10
   -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.

Office 365 with Office 2013 MSI Language Pack on Windows 7 machine.

Hello All,
I have Office 2013 MSI Language Pack installed on Windows 7 machine. After deploying Office 365 using ODT, Lync is crashing.
Is Office 2013 MSI Language Pack compatible with Office 365?
Thanks in Advance !!

Hi,
Have you checked the log file? Does it record the error details there?
So you only have the language pack on your computer, not the entire Office 2013 instance? Office 2013 MSI Language Pack doesn't work with Office 365. Try to remove the language pack then try again.
Also, to plan a multi-language deployment of Click-to-Run-based Office installations, please refer to this article:

Office 365 with mailboxes and dirsync without Exchange on-premises

I currently have Active Directory deployed on premises without Exchange. I am migrating my e-mail to Office 365 from a third-party service and want to use dirsync + password sync so my users can use the on premises credentials and Office
365.
Since I do not have Exchange installed on premises (and therefore do not have the Exchange on premises management tools), how do I manage the mailboxes for the synchronized users? I know I cannot change e-mail related attributes, such as e-mail addresses,
directly in Office 365 for synchronized users.
Thanks!

If you are going to use dirsync, the local AD will be the source of authority, so only a very limited subset of attributes can be edited directly in the cloud (either via the EAC or EO PowerShell). It's a very good idea to extend the AD with the Exchange
attributes, as you will definitely need to manage some of those. For more info you can review for example this article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh852478.aspx
After you have installed Exchange and thus extended the schema, you can safely remove the Exchange server right away. All the needed attributes will be available via dsa.exe, or AD module for PowerShell.
I would also recommend creating distribution groups directly in the cloud, because even with the extended schema, you will run into some management issues. You can read more about it here:

Using the default SharePoint web site in Office 365 with PWA

Hi, we are testing Project Online for the first time.<o:p></o:p>
Per default the Project Web App is installed under
xyz.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa.<o:p></o:p>
Is it possible, to use it with the standard SharePoint
team site?<o:p></o:p>
When I activate Project Online for our default web
site, a new Instance of the PWA is set up.<o:p></o:p>
We’d like to use the default PWA instance since it is a menu item in the Office 365 main menu.<o:p></o:p>
In a getting started video from Microsoft is a sample
shown, where a task from a team site list can be enhanced to a Project Online
project. In this case the link from the team web site called the project view
from the ../sites/pwa instance.<o:p></o:p>
But I don’t have the function/icon in our team
website.<o:p></o:p>
Thanks in advance,<o:p></o:p>
Marcus<o:p></o:p>

Hello, if I understand your query correctly the root PWA site has to be PWA site collection, it can't be a default SharePoint team site. The individual project site (below PWA) can start from just a SharePoint team site though or any SharePoint site with
a tasks list. This can then be added to PWA and converted to a full enterprise project if required or left as SharePoint task list project that can be seen in PWA in visibility mode. Paul

Deactivate Sandbox Solution in Office 365 with no access to SharePoint UI

I have a sandbox solution custom action deployed to my Office 365 site. The custom action is a simple ScriptLink that points to a script. After I activated the feature, every page in the entire Site Collection comes back as a blank page. Every page. Site
Settings, Solutions, List Settings, pages, lists, views.. you name it.. it's a blank page. The entire page contents is:
<html><head><META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="Robots" content="NOINDEX " /></head><body></body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var gearPage = document.getElementById('GearPage');
if(null != gearPage)
gearPage.parentNode.removeChild(gearPage);
document.title = "Error";
</script>
</html>
Is there anyway for me to deactivate the Custom Action Sandbox Solution without having access to the SharePoint UI? There doesn't seem to be a PowerShell cmdlet to deactivate a feature and I'm quickly running out of ideas.
thanks for the help!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to deactivate a Sandbox solution feature in Office 356 without accessing to SharePoint UI.
We can enable or disable a feature from PowerShell using Client Object Model in SharePoint Online.
Here is an example for your reference:

Office 365 with Shared Computer Activation (on RDS 2012)

Hi,
I have installed Office 365 (shared activation method) on RDS 2012.
This works fine, users can activate using their Office 365 account and the entire Office suite appears activated.
The issue is that the users intermittently (random intervals) have to re-enter their details and reactivate.
Under what circumstances should the users have to reactivate, sometimes I can logon and activate and the next logon I have to do it again. Other times it can last for days..
Thanks.

If you have ADFS or DirSync to your O365 tenant, most likely you wouldn't see this happening, it would all hookup seamlessly (a lot like KMS just does...)
