GAL Sync - Office 365 - Contacts in all devices synced with O365 GAL

Dear Team,
We are deploying Office 365 and want a script\option where we can synchronize the GAL with the contacts of Outlook\Mobile devices on a periodic basis. Please assist
Regards,
Deepti

You will need to post O365 questions in the O365 forums.
The GAL is automatically sync'd  with all devices.  Changes to address lists are immediately available.  It is up to the device to sync to Exchange which should be automatic for supported devices.
ActiveSync technology is "active"  it is not periodic.
If you are having problems here are some causes of address book failures:

Post any further issues in O365 forums.

  • Help please - synchronizing contacts on all devices.

    Let's start with this question, where is my master contact list, in other words, which device am I working from?
    I would like to sync to my MacBook Pro, Air, 4s and iPad.  Currently the contacts on all devices vary or so it seems.  I recently lost contacts all together from my 4s, yet they are still on my notebooks and my iPad.
    Can someone please walk me, step-by-step, through this process? 
    Obviously, when additional contacts are added, I would hope that they would stream to all devices.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the response and sorry for the delay in responding - travel!I will be trying your suggestion (probably solution) but if Imay I'd like to ask a bit more.
    I have not thoroughly examined her Outlook files on her business computer but will be doing that. She says she has a "business" pst and a "personal" pst file. Can both pst files from one computer be sync'd as long as the path to each is shown?
    Thanks again and Happy New Year

  • I am totally frustrated by the fact that now i have gone to iCloud and after a few synchs, my contacts are all mixed up with the wrong information.  For instance, my email and phone number comes up under someone else's name (a thousand contacts)

    I am totally frustrated by the fact that now i have gone to iCloud and after a few synchs, my contacts are all mixed up with the wrong information.  For instance, my email and phone number comes up under someone else's name (a thousand contacts).  I dont know how to repair this.  what a nightmare

    An icloud account is designed to be used by just one user.  If you have given your ID or set up your account on someone else's device, then their data will be mingled with your or worse.

  • When trying to access music stored on my icloud i get the following warning 'This computer is already associated with an Apple ID'. itunes support say they have 'released' all devices associated with my account but i still have the same problem-any ideas?

    cant access music sored in my icloud when using my lap top. any ideas?

    iTunes imposes a 90 day wait period before a device can be associated with a different ID.  If iTunes support only removed all devices associated with your ID, this does not override the 90-day wait period.  From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627:
    "Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90 day timer. The timer must complete 90 days from the day the device was associated before it can be associated to another Apple ID."
    Unless iTune support can override the wait period for you, you have no choice but to wait if you want to download it from iCloud.  If your purchases music is on any of your iOS deivces, you can transfer it to the iTunes library on your computer by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in iTunes, Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting your device to your computer, opening iTunes, and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.

    Hi,
    Are emails synced perfectly?
    When you set up an Exchange account on your device, you should be able to access and synchronize your email, calendar, and contacts. If the account is set up via POP or IMAP, only emails are synced.
    Here are some steps you can refer to when using a Windows Phone:
    Use Office 365 on your Windows Phone

  • Report all activations of Office 365 ProPlus for all users

    Hello:
    I know that I can open my Office 365 Settings, Software, and see how many devices I have activated Office 365 Pro-plus on.
    What I am looking for is a way for an Admin to run a Powershell script (or command) to retrieve the activations for ALL users in a tenant.
    Thanks
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    As far as I know, this is not possible. We can use Get-msoluser command to get the license status. But we can’t get details of all users’ activated computer name list for the Office 365 tenant with a Powershell script.
    By the way, this forum focuses on questions and feedback for Microsoft Office Client. There is not so much about Office 365
    console/hosted/cloud aspects here. For your case, I would suggest you to post in the forum of Office 365 Community, where you can get more experienced responses:

  • Office 365 contacts and public folders

    Hi all, I am looking for some help with Office 365, detailed below:
    We have a CRM system that emails in multiple contacts meant for particular users within the organisation, and we are looking for how to get these contacts automatically added to particular users contacts lists behind the scenes, this will need to be automated
    with no input other than initial setup required. Does Office 365 have the capability to manage this.
    If you require any more information, please let me know.
    Thanks in advance for any advice or assistance.

    Hi,
    I'm not aware of such an automatic way to have these contacts added to particular users' Contacts folders. The workaround is to import these contacts from a .csv file, but you need to do this manually for several times. Or we can send the .csv file via an
    email to the particulars, then let them import these contacts by themselves.

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

  • ITunes for Windows 7 64 bit, Windows Live Mail Contacts not (all?) syncing

    I have researched this as much as I can but cannot find a solution.
    I had my iPhone 4 synced to my Window Vista Home Premium PC using iTunes just fine until January when the PC motherboard crashed. No data was lost and all contacts have been restored to my new PC with is Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit). My contacts are in Windows Live Mail (Windows Contacts) and I'm syncing via iTunes with "Sync Contacts with: Windows Contacts" selected.
    However, not all contacts are syncing with my iPhone. In fact, I'm not sure they are syncing at all, although the sync function goes through. It may be that the only ones that sync are those that existed before the new PC (i.e., the Windows Vista contacts which were in Windows Mail). I have created new contacts on both the PC using the new version Windows Live Mail and on the iPhone since the crash, and would like to get them synced up.
    Symptoms:
    1) Some specific contacts on PC are not on the iPhone after multiple sync attempts.
    I have so far positively identified one contact that did not sync. It shows in Windows Live Mail under Contacts, however it does NOT show up in my Windows username/Contacts folder!
    2) One Contacts group on PC is not on the iPhone, although two others are (they probably were from before the crash).
    I have so far positively identified one group that did not sync. It shows in Windows Live Mail under Contacts groups, however it does NOT show up in my Contacts folder as a .group file!
    3) The same group as #2 also does NOT show up in the iTunes group list under "Selected Groups" on iTunes, but the other two groups do. (I do not use "selected groups" because that disables "all contacts" syncing, but the groups are visible grayed out on the list.)
    4) As a test, I created a new contact on my iPhone, synced, and it shows up now in Windows Live Mail Contacts; it also shows up in my Windows username/Contacts folder.
    5) As a test, I created a new contact in Windows Live Mail and it does NOT show up in my username/Contacts folder. I synced the iPhone again and it does NOT show up on my iPhone contacts.
    OK folks, where are these missing contacts going and how can I get them synced??  Thanks!
    PS: I have the latest iTunes 10.5.3.3, no updates are available. However, Apple Support/iTunes seems to suggest Windows 7 64 bit either "does not use Windows Contacts" (which seemed quite wrong until I ran the tests above), and also that Windows 7 64 requires iTunes 10.4.1, which I cannot install because I have a later version installed. I would have assumed the correct version installed for my OS when I installed iTunes on the new PC. iTunes runs fine by itself and in coordination with my iPhone other than the above issue.
    PPS: This site seems potentially relevant, however is highly technical: http://liveunplugged.wordpress.com/2011/02/04/windows-live-mail-contacts-databas e/
    but doesn't help with this problem.

    I didn't get any help on this from the forum, but from studying around and experimenting with different approaches, I have come up with the following conclusions:
    Under Windows Vista, Windows Mail synced its contacts with Windows Contacts [which are in c:\users\username\contacts]. iPhone via iTunes synced with Windows Contacts. Changes to either Windows Mail Contacts or iPhone contacts would always update each other. Life was good.
    Under Windows 7, Windows LIVE Mail (WLM) does NOT sync its contacts with Windows Contacts. It puts them into a hidden database. If you have prior Windows Contacts and brought them along for the ride, they are still there in the folder but they are not connected to the WLM contacts database
    When you first set up Windows Live Mail, you can import your Windows Contacts and they appear to be synced. (In fact, they are, but only at that single point in time.)
    If you change any Windows Live Mail contact or add a new one, it does NOT change in Windows Contacts. It only changes in the WLM contacts database. It therefore does NOT sync to your iPhone.
    Similarly, if you change a contact on iPhone or add a new one, it will sync with Windows Contacts. However, this does NOT update your Windows Live Contacts.
    So, from what I can tell, here is what this means: to maintain a steady state, you have two choices:
    Whenever you update or add a contact, add it in either iPhone or Windows Contacts [the Windows Contacts folder has a "New Contact" button], and they will stay in sync with each other. Then manually update or add it in Windows Live Contacts to keep those up to date so you can use them for e-mail.  OR
    Whenever you update or add a contact, add it in either iPhone or Windows Contacts, and they will stay in sync with each other. DO NOT manually update Windows Live Contacts, but realize they are not always up to date. If an address needed for an e-mail is not in there, manually retrieve it from your Windows Contacts or your iPhone and insert it into the e-mail. [Having done that, you can right click on the address in the e-mail and add it to your WLM contacts if you want.] Periodically, manually delete all of your Windows Live Mail Contacts and then re-import your Windows Contacts into Windows Live Mail and, voila, your contacts are in sync again! (Isn't that great, I mean really awful??)
    NOTE: If you follow course #2, DO NOT import your Windows Contacts into Windows Live Mail contacts without deleting your existing Windows Live Mail contacts, or you will end up with a double set plus the new ones.
    FURTHER NOTE: I obviously can't make any guarantee you won't lose data if you follow course #2. Be sure you have a complete backup before deleting your WLM contacts. However, I will say that after experiencing a double set of WLM contacts (by failing to understand the first NOTE above), it was impossible to pick out the new items [WLM will now show you the date of entry or modification of the contact, so you can't sort by date], so I deleted all of them and re-imported my Windows Contacts and had a complete set again.
    AND ONE FINAL NOTE: I have not tested how any of this affects Windows Live Contacts used online outside of Windows Live Mail, because I do not use Windows Live online.
    Please post further comments if you have any more information on this topic.

  • Passport Calendar Sync Office 365

    I'm having an issue where my Office 365 calendar events are being disaplyed in UTC time. It doesn't matter whether I add them via the passport or outlook, same problem. I've checked that my time zone on both the Passport and in my Office 365 settings are correct and the same. I've removed the account and added it again but still having this issue.
    Anyone else out there using Office 365 have the same issue?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I fixed this by changing the time zone on the phone to something else and then changing it back to what it should be. All calendar entries now appear with the correct time.

  • Adding note to Office 365 contact

    Hi there!
    I'm using the Office 365 REST API to interact with contacts. I know that Exchange is behind Office 365, so maybe you can help me with this question...
    First, I get the contact ID by querying:
    https://outlook.office365.com/ews/odata/Me/Contacts
    Then I need to add a note to a contact with a specific ID. I'm using the following code:
    public void UpdateContact(string id, string note)
    JObject updateRequest = new JObject();
    updateRequest["Body"] = note;
    byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(updateRequest));
    HttpWebRequest webRequest = WebRequest.Create(String.Format("https://outlook.office365.com/ews/odata/Me/Contacts('{0}')", id)) as HttpWebRequest;
    webRequest.Method = "PATCH";
    // Add the Authorization header with the basic login credentials.
    string authHeader = "Basic " + Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(user + ":" + password));
    webRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization", authHeader);
    webRequest.Accept = "application/json";
    webRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
    webRequest.ContentLength = byteArray.LongLength;
    using (Stream dataStream = webRequest.GetRequestStream())
    dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
    // Send the request.
    webRequest.GetResponse();
    But I'm getting a 400 Bad Request response.
    I found that notes are the body of the Contact, but how can I set that value? What am I doing wrong here?
    Any hint will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Hi Ernesto,
    Not very much sure if you are targetting the correct attribute.
    However the NOTES attribute is called "info" in AD.
    Below is an example:
    SET-ADUSER john.smith –replace @{info=”John Smith is a Temporary Contractor”}
    As for Exchange Online, you might be missing 'S' in notes :
    Notes
    System.String
    The Notes parameter specifies additional information about the user.
    Set-User -Identity Contoso\Jill -DisplayName "Jill Frank" -Notes "Jill Frank is a Permanent Employee"

  • ICloud sync of same contacts to all phones. How do I fix this?

    Ok so my dad, mom, and for some reason have the same contacts as everyone else after we updated our phones but we all have different apple id's. How do i fix this?? please help!!

    You're welcome.  Undoing the merged contacts will require you to go through and delete the ones that you don't want on each phone (assuming you don't have a clean unmerged list to re-import to the phone).  First decide who will keep the existing iCloud account and who will change to a new one.  Then, on the phone that is changing, go to Settings>iCloud and turn off syncing for each of the services listed (contacts, etc.).  When prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone.  Then scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account on this phone.)  Now set up a new iCloud account on this phone with a different Apple ID and turn on syncing again for contacts, etc.  Next go to iCloud.com on your computer, sign into the new account, go to contacts and go through and delete the unwanted contacts.  (You'll also have to sign into the other iCloud account and delete the contacts you don't want on the other phone as well.)  That should fix the contacts on both phones.
    As for the music, connect her phone to iTunes, go to the Summary tab and check "Sync only checked songs and videos" (if it isn't already checked).  Then in the music library, uncheck each of the songs that she doesn't want on her phone.  When finished, sync her phone and the unwanted songs will be removed.  You may also want to take a look at this article on ways to sync multiple iPhones on one computer.
