Identity Delegation within Office 365

Hello,
  For a Business Intelligence solution that is deployed onto Office 365 + Power BI + SharePoint Online, would a logged on user identity be delegated to the back end SQL Server and SQL Server Analysis Services in case of
   a. SQL Server and SQL Server Analysis Services being hosted on-premise
   b. SQL Server and SQL Server Analysis Services being hosted on Windows Azure IaaS
   c. Azure SQL Database (Paas) and SQL Server Analysis Services being hosted on Windows Azure IaaS
Would this be true in one / both of the following cases
  a. When a user credential (including password) has be synchronized to the Active Directory present on Office 365
  b. When SSO has been configured and Active Directory Federation has been implemented

Hemant

  • Corporate identity in Yammer (Office 365 Business Essentials)?

    Hi,
    Help....
    Does anyone know?
    I would like to advice a client of mine to use Yammer, edition: Office 365 Business Essentials. This edition is sufficient in all areas, but my client wants to know first whether it is possible to apply their own corporate identity, such as logos and colors.
    I already chatted with customer support, but they didn't know and sent me the link to this portal... Please help? :-)
    Thanks!

  • Lync within Office 365

    What is the size limit in bytes of an IM session? If there is a size limit, how can I determine how big the a ongoing IM session is? I sometimes have long IM sessions for meetings and I have noticed that for the meetings of 3-4 hours, parts of the IM session
    transcript starting from the beginning of the IM session, are lost once a size limit is reached. I also did not receive any message stating that the IM session was approaching any size limit?
    I have heard that longer IM sessions are automatically converted to IM stories. But even so, these stories seem to have a limit as well.

  • Office 365 password expiration notification per email?

    As far as I know, users of Office 365 are informed about upcoming password expiration via popup when being online. Our users do not stay online the whole time but randomly connect to and are complaining now, that they are not being notified
    about their passwords to expire soon in time.
    My question is: is there a way to generate an email within Office 365 informing a user that his/her password is about to expire?
    In this case I would recommend them to create a forwarding rule pointing to the main email address.
    Thanks a lot
    Eduard

    Hi Eduard,
    As far as I know, this is currently not a feature in Office 365 yet, only a pop-up message will show when the password is about to expire whenever they sign in.
    Anyway, this is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office client. There is not so much about Office 365 admin/hosted aspect here. I would suggest you to post in the dedicated forum -
    Office 365 Community
    for further assistance:

  • Is delegation of a calendar possible on using Office 365 and any client whatsoever on Mac?

    I am looking for any way for OS X users to use Office 365's exchange calendaring service to delegate / share a calendar with another user on Office 365.
    I have researched the MS knowledge base which states that for delegation, you need both an Exchange server (which I presume Office 365 is) and either Outlook 2010 or 2013 - neither of which run on OS X. If I have to, I could get to these software to temporarily
    sign in and set up the delegation, but I don't want to run Windows day in and day out and need a native OS X solution.
    Short of running Windows virtually day to day, can OS X users use delegation features of Office 365?

    I am looking for any way for OS X users to use Office 365's exchange calendaring service to delegate / share a calendar with another user on Office 365.
    This article should help:
    https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/Add-and-manage-your-delegates-e250ea79-755d-463f-a506-31f55092338b
    But... I'd expect that this will only work if both the mailboxes are within the same O365 tenant (since delegation is really a backend-server feature, which requires a common security/directory, and that's only possible within a single tenant, and not across
    tenants AFAIK)
    For the hosted/webservice aspects of O365, the dedicated O365 forums are best:

  • Delegated Access will not remove - Office 365 email

    Hi Guys,
    We run our email purely on Office 365 and attach it to Outlook 2010 for our users. I have had no problems in the past delegating full access and then removing it. However I have a single user that when I remove their access, it seems to take (no error messages)
    but then when I go back into the mailbox they still have full access. 
    I have checked the users Outlook's and they have not delegated access between them from there, tried it both with and without caching and neither user is on any sort of litigation hold (the few things I have seen asked to try on forums). 
    This user will not remove from any mailboxes they have access to.
    Similar to the problem described here: http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/148/t/175474.aspx 
    Any help would be much appreciated. 
    Thanks
    Gav

    Hi,
    The issue may occur when the delegate cache gets corrupted. Please try the steps below to check the result:
    Go to File -> Account Settings -> Account Settings -> Double click on the account name -> Uncheck "Use Cached Exchange Mode" -> Next -> Finish -> Exit Outlook.
    Then please start Outlook in Safe Mode:
    Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
    Go to File -> Account Settings -> Delegate Access -> Add anyone as delegate -> Close Outlook.
    Then re-open Outlook in Safe Mode again, go to Delegate Access to remove all the delegates.
    If the steps above doesn't help, we may need to remove the permission at the mailbox level. Since you are using Office 365, I suggest you post the question in Office 365 Community:

  • Shared Office 365 calendars not showing up in iCal

    We are using Microsoft's Office 365 and have users with a variety of devices and applications (Mac/iCal/Mail, Windows/Outlook, iPhone, Android, etc.).
    I am the administrator of the Exchange accounts. I have created four calendars that are viewable by everyone within our organization (just general "company-wide calendars").
    Users with Outlook are able to view those shared calendars just fine. However, I'm not able to add the shared calendars with users using iCal.
    If I add them as a delegate, they can see all my calendars, but if I just share the calendar, they get a "no access" error.
    Here's where I'm setting the shared calendar permissions. I've tried setting them as Reviewer, setting the Default as Reviewer, and setting them as Owner.
    Because it works fine in Outlook, I'm wondering if it's an iCal problem. For cross-referencing purposes, here's my issue at Office 365's community: Shared calendars not showing up in Apple iCal

    Hi All, after much trial and tribulation, this works for me on BusyCal. It is an app you can get on the apple store.
    Calendar should be created then shared with the busycal user. The link does not work, but add exchange account as you would on  Mac Calendar under preference>accounts. The go to the sharing tab and  click plus and type in email of person who shared calendar. It will auto populate. For some reason it does not work under delegation in Mac Calendar
    The  key and where I spent 4 days on the phone with apple and office 365, is  that the owner of the calendar has to share their calendar, named  :"calendar" They can just click the permission "show availability only."  Once they do that, any other calendars they have created and added you  as full permissions or details, you can see. I see nothing on their  calendar called "calendar"  Not the perfect solution, but it works. BusyCal is $30
    If this does not make sense feel free  to message me or I will respond here.

  • O i need antivirus software if i am going to download office 365 onto my new imac?

    Do i need antivirus software if i am going to download office 365 onto my new imac?

    1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
    If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
    OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
    2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
    The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
    The following caveats apply to XProtect:
    It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
    It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
       3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
    Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
    It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
    A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
    An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
    Apple has so far failed to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. These failures don't involve App Store products, however.
       For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
    4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
    5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, and a technological fix is not going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
    The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the scam artists. If you're smarter than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
    Software from an untrustworthy source
    Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent. or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
    Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, your browser, or anything else.
    Rogue websites such as Softonic and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
    The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
    Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
    High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
    An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission.
    Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
    A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
    A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
    You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
    Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
    A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
    Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
    Unexpected events
    You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
    An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
    Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
    I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
       6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
    Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
    Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
    Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
    Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
    7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
    To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. Research has shown that most successful attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based malware scanners do not defend against such attacks.
    Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
    In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
    By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    Most importantly, a false sense of security makes you more vulnerable.
    8. An anti-malware product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
    An anti-virus app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
    A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the file name alone. An actual example:
    London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
    You don't need software to know that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use recognition software unless an institutional policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every unknown email attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may be useful if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of "anti-virus" application.
    The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
    9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
    10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

    What do the SMTP protocol logs show when attempting to send the messages?

  • Voicemail not working after moving a user to Office 365

    We moved 30 or so users in December to Office 365 from on prem Exchange 2007.  Before moving we disabled unified messaging.  Once we moved them voicemail worked and we didn't have to do anything further.
    Last week we moved another user and on Exchange online Unified messaging was disabled.  I enabled it but it still isn't working.  I tried disabling and re-enabling but it has not helped.  When dialed it rings and then the call disconnects
    when it should send to voicemail.
    Any ideas what has changed to stop this working now?

  • Access to office 365 api

    Hi team, 
    i have been building up native applications and has access to Microsoft tenant in azure and there i have already the mobile application. Also i can add the webapi's to my application once when i went to configure tab and hit add on the bottom.
    So from here i can add office 365 exchange online api and set the delegated permissions to required field.
    Also i went through couple of articles and videos which shows how to get access to office 365 api.
    http://www.microsoftvirtualacademy.com/training-courses/deep-dive-integrate-office-365-apis-in-your-mobile-device-apps?m=11496
    As mentioned in video we add the connected service and it sign in to microsoft account and register the app.
    Also add some client id to App.xaml . And when we went to tenant application page we can see the new registered app with a client id.
    Please let me know if i already has the application in azure and i have added the office 365 exchange online api , then shall i need to do above steps or i can directly hit the api service Uri's.
    thanks,
    NItesh

    Hi,

    i have pc where no outlook is installed, where i installed the MAPI CDO Runtime may update (version 6.5.8320.0). i checked in the registry that the default mail provider was set to exchangemapi (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail) .. it is.
    I downloaded the lastest version of mfcmapi, which i believe was the version of december 2013
    but i can't seem to create a profile for office 365 in it. I followed http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dvespa/archive/2013/05/21/how-to-mfcmapi-create-mapi-profile-exchange-2013.aspx and then i changed the properties to what was proposed here http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dvespa/archive/2013/07/15/create-profile-connect-mfcmapi-to-office-365.aspx
    That did not work, i keep getting an error one ore more properties are invalid when i try to use that created profile to connect to office 365 (from within mfcmapi).
    I also changed some of those proposed values to what autodiscover was telling me like setting PR_PROFILE_RPC_AUTH_PACKAGE to RPC_C_AUTHN_ANONYMOUS which should be the value $8000F001 instead of RPC_C_AUTH_NONE (at least i think so)
    I builded a simple program to encrypt my password using CryptProtectData and entered the value using mfcmapi in PR_PROFILE_AUTH_PASSWORD as was suggested in the last page.
    but nothing seems to work, i keep getting wrong configured errors and i'm totally clueless atm. This is supposed to work right on a pc where outlook is not installed ?
    I also tried this on another pc where outlook 2010 is installed and i am able to create the profile there and connect without a problem given that i enter the logon credentials once and let them be remember (they get stored / cached in the windows key store,
    like when using CREDWRITE function) from then on i can connect without a problem.
    also when calling configuremsgservice on the EMS service i created for a new profile in mfcmapi and let the UI show i can see on the pc where outlook is installed in the UI options to enter proxy information however when i do the same thing on the pc
    where only the mapi cdo runtime is installed i do not see any UI option to configure the proxy server information ... is this normal ?
    Hopefully someone can shed some light on what i'm doing wrong or might be wrong.
    Thanks in advance

    The window would open and I would get the hourglass cursor suggesting something was happening, but the Apple home page (default from the install) would not load, nor would any other page I tried (google, yahoo, cnn).
    Even though it's about a different application, I'd try the following document with that:
    iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (Safari uses the same webkit engine to render web pages as iTunes uses to render the Store pages. So an issue that can cause the iTunes Store to blank can also cause a Safari for Windows application on the same PC to produce blank pages.)

  • Office 365 x64 Click-to-Run Not Automatically Updating from Network Share

    We are piloting Office 365 x64 and pointing the clients to a network share (see config file below) for updates.  When we subsequently download the updates to the share the clients will not automatically install them.  If we manually do so from
    within an app (File > Account > Update Options > Update Now) it works fine.  The ACL and Sharing permissions allow Everyone and Domain Computers read-only access (in addition to some other ancillary accounts).  I've tried manually running
    the Office Automatic Updates from Task Scheduler and left the box running overnight.  I've rebooted, logged back on, closed and opened the app several times.  Nothing happens, just always sits at the current version.
      Anyone have any ideas?
          Thanks,
             Bryan

    Hi,
    I replied in the other thread:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/e9e6be40-fb92-4734-9f94-9dee5599b1d8/office-365-pro-plus-2013-update-wont-apply-automatically?forum=officeitpro#c156ed8c-f65c-450c-9e0f-85f0de513c20
    It seems when the install finished it added an extra Office\Data to the path. My path should be \\hsbswpush02\GPsoftware\o365\Office\Data\15.0.4551.1005
    but it shows
    \\hsbswpush02\GPsoftware\o365\Office\Data\Office\Data15.0.4551.1005
    If I edit the path and delete the extra Office\Data Office 365 ProPlus updates from my network location. I cannot figure out why it is adding the extra Office\Data to the path.
    My config file looks like this:
      <Updates Enabled="TRUE" UpdatePath="\\hsbswpush02\GPsoftware\o365\Office\Data" />
    have you tried omitting the \Office\Data element, from the Updates element ?

  • Office 365 ProPlus App-V 5.0 Package installs Lync, Outlook, Infopath and Onenote even though they are not selected for publishing

    I have created an App-V 5.0 Package for Office 365 ProPlus using the documentation provided here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219422.aspx
    I am able to load the App-V Package into my SCCM 2012 SP1 environment and deploy the package to a test machine
    Within SCCM, I have configured the deployment type to only select a couple of applications.  Notice that Lync, Outlook, Infopath and Onenote are not selected.
    http://i.imgur.com/1eMxUlY.jpg
    For my deployment type, I only selected Word, Excel and Powerpoint.  Looking at my test machine, those 3 applications now show up in my start screen.
    http://i.imgur.com/amZmxAT.jpg
    I don't see any of the other Office applications be default on my start screen, so I would think all looks good.  If I type another Office application, lets say access at the start screen I get, "No apps match your search."
    http://i.imgur.com/fxbWEvb.jpg
    But if I type Lync, Outlook, Infopath or Onenote, it shows me that those applications are available, and I can launch them as an App-V application just as I could Excel, Word or Powerpoint, the applications that I wanted to have available.
    This is not what I was expecting when I went through the trouble to create an App-V package.  It looks like almost all of the apps become available on my client machine, all App-V is doing is making the application button in the start screen a little
    harder to find.
    What is interesting is that for the applications I did want published, I can search for them by just entering a few letters of the application name, and they show up with the 2013 version label, see below for an example search for Word.
    http://i.imgur.com/0LeS05z.jpg
    For the applications that I did not publish but still show up on my client, I have to type in the full name of the application for the launch button to come up.  For example, I can't type lyn and expect to see Lync, but if i type lync I will get an
    option to launch the application.  The same goes for Outlook, Infopath and Onenote, and when you do type in the full namke of the app, it doesn't show the version number like Word does as Word 2013, it just shows Lync, or Outlook, or Infopath, or
    Onenote.
    http://i.imgur.com/QV1afuc.jpg
    vs
    http://i.imgur.com/PxgSmUc.jpg
    Can anyone from Microsoft confirm that this is expected behavior.  If this is to be expected this is pretty disappointing, because a main point of the App-V package is it is the only way to limit which applications are deployed via Office 365 ProPlus
    but from what I can tell, it really isn't limiting anything beyond the start screen for most cases.

    So it looks like the config xml files are the best option
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_resource_kit/archive/2013/12/02/announcing-app-v-5-0-sp2-support-for-office-2013-volume-licensing-editions.aspx
    You can now use the Deployment Configuration file to configure the Office installation. One question I often get is, “How do I disable msaccess.exe or infopath.exe from an Office install if I am not using the MSI package?” This can be done by modifying the
    Deployment Configuration file in App-V with entries like the following:
    <Application Id="[(AppVPackageRoot}]\office15\MSACCESS.EXE" Enabled="false">
      <VisualElements>
        <Name>Access 2013</Name>
        <Icon />
        <Description />
      </VisualElements>
    </Application>
    That will prevent App-V from publishing msaccess.exe on the system and/or you can remove any undesired application shortcuts from publishing on the targeted computer using the shortcuts properties by deleting or commenting them out. Once you’ve configured your
    Deployment and User Configuration files, you’ll have everything you need to import the packages into your App-V environment to start testing.

  • How to create a private forum in Office 365 SharePoint for customers?

    Hi, 
    I am implementing a SharePoint Office 365 solution for a client but one of their requirements is sharing regularly updated info with only 20 customers. The idea is to share info with just the customers in a private forum basically to receive feedback, comments
    and emails. What is the best approach to this?
    Thanks, 

    Hello Aslr12,
    Based on these requirements I would just create a new site collection within SharePoint online service of your Office 365 tenant, based on the community site template. This template has some nice web parts like the Discussion list and some Community tools.
