Install Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable after install Office 2013

Hello, everyone.
I have application, that works fine with Microsoft Office 2010. This application uses .mdb format for databases.
When Microsoft Office 2013 was installed, apps began works incorrect. Can I install Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable
on a workstation with Office 2013 already installed? 

Hi,
Based on my tested, I could install Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable with
Office 2013 side by side successful. ( Note: Do not mix 32bit and 64bit version )
As far as I know, MDB format is used for Access 2003, there might be some compatibility issues when opening with Office 2013. I recommend you convert it to ACCDB format to test.

  • Is it possible to Install the 64-bit Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 if we are running Microsoft Office 2010 32-bit?

    So we are running Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, Version 14.0.7015.1000
    (32-bit)
    This is what is installed via our Network and Network licensing.
    I am trying, in vain, to read and write a .xlsx file via a C# Edit Script in a SSIS Package. And I have tried using...
    string StringConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + sourceFile + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1\"";
    And this tells me that this has not been installed. So when I go and try and get the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 64-bit, which would allow me to use Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 and allow me to read, write, and process this .xlsx file, it tells me
    I cannot install it because I already have 32-bit installed and it wants me to un-install Microsoft Office 2010. Why? Because it is 32-bit? And I can't do that because this is what we have and what we're licensed for and from what I've read seems to be the
    industry standard because most software vendors are ill equipped to process 64-bit right now.
    So my question is this...How can I use a C# Edit Script to read and process a .xlsx file? Because if I try using...
    string StringConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + sourceFile + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1\"";
    It then tells me that the file is not in that format.
    Please excuse me for asking this question in a couple of different ways out here but I cannot for the life of me seem to be able to get an answer as to how I can process a .xlsx file with a C# script and which driver to use that will make this work.
    Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

    Hi ITBobby85,
    If the excel version in the Connection Manager is Microsoft Excel 2010 (.xlsx), we should use Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB provider.
    We can't install 32bit and 64bit parts of office on the same machine. We will get an error as you said when we run the installer to install the 64bit version of the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable in the machine where a 32bit version
    of Microsoft Office installed. To fix this issue, please download and install the 32bit version of the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable with the link below:

  • Excel connection manager - Error after Installing Office 2013

    Hi Team,
    My SSIS package used to work fine until I Upgraded my Office 2010 to Office 2013. After upgrading to 2013, the SSIS package which is created using SQL 2012 is throwing error for Excel Connection manager. Below is the error what I see
    TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
    Could not retrieve the table information for the connection manager 'Excel Connection Manager'.
    Failed to connect to the source using the connection manager 'Excel Connection Manager'
    BUTTONS:
    OK
    FYI, I am running the package with Run64BitRunTime property = False.
    Do let me know the solution please. It will be of great help as we are proposing this tool in a migration project.

    I found the solution. Thanks
    You don't need office on your server (not recommended and not supported). You should install
    Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable for excel (xlsx) files and then use the Excel
    This download will install a set of components that facilitate the transfer of data between existing Microsoft Office files such as Microsoft Office Access 2010 (*.mdb and *.accdb) files and Microsoft Office Excel 2010 (*.xls, *.xlsx, and *.xlsb) files to
    other data sources such as Microsoft SQL Server. Connectivity to existing text files is also supported. ODBC and OLEDB drivers are installed for application developers to use in developing their applications with connectivity to Office file formats.

  • The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file \\fileserver\db\access.mdb

    Hi,
    I have Windows Server 2012 with SQL 2012 Standard SP1. I am using linked server, and Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable to access my database file made in Microsoft Access (.mdb) from network file server.
    EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'MyLinkedServer', @srvproduct=N'MyLinkedServer', @provider=N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', @datasrc=N'\\myfileserver.mydomain.com\files\mydatabase.mdb'
    My SQL service is running with domain service account MYDOMAIN\SQL1$ , i have added Full control for file share and NTFS permission on my file server folder (C:\Files).
    When I open (as domain admin with UAC elevated permissions) on my DB server SQL Management studio, I can browse tables and everything works.
    The problem is, if I open SQL management studio (as domain admin with UAC elevated permissions) on my File server or any other computer, when trying to browse my linked server i got error:

    NTFS must be fine since it works from same server using same accounts.
    As I understand, adding my access file to Access trusted location could be a problem. I have tried now to add my access database file location to trusted locations for user which is my SQL service user (Windows Service - AD managed service account MYDOMAIN\SQL1$)
    and my test user which I use to connect to sql server as a client from sql management studio. (Account is Domain Admins and have full permissions on SQL server also)
    I have added this .reg:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security]
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Documents]

    "Description"="My file server"
    "AllowSubFolders"=dword:00000001
    "Path"="\\\\myfileserver.mydomain.com\\files\\"
    I have done this for SQL service account user and my personal test account as I said. I have tried to logoff and restart sql service and all servers also.
    The same problem still persists.
    Anyway, thank you for giving me a hint.

  • Why is the Microsoft Office Access Database Engine data source looking for a workgroup information file?

    While trying to import to MSSQL2012 from SSDT using the wizard from an Access 2013 DB (.accdb) which is password protected, I get the following error with the username blank and the password field correctly populated: 
    Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user. (MicrosoftOffice Access Database Engine)
    But according to this link:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/what-happened-to-user-level-security-HA010342116.aspx
    MSA10 and beyond shouldn't need workgroup information files, although it's not clear to me if they are
    created/used or not.
    I can point the wizard to some local version of system.mdw at Advanced -> All -> Jet OLEDB:System Database, and then the error becomes:
    Not a valid account name or password. (Microsoft Office Access Database Engine)
    for any username I can think of.
    Questions:
    1.  Why does this data source insist on looking for a workgroup information file even though user-level security should be disabled?
    2.  Why does the Open dialog box for the Microsoft Access Database Engine have *.mdb as the only selectable filetype?
    3.  How can I get around these errors for an .accdb that is password protected?
    Thanks!

    Hi JordanPG,
    To connect to Access 2007 or later database, we need the Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB driver. SQL Server only installs the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB driver which can be used to connect to Access 2003 or earlier database. Besides, the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB
    driver only has 32-bit version, but the Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB driver has both 32-bit and 64-bit version. However, the 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB drivers cannot be installed on a single server.
    According to your description, you can use the 64-bit SQL Server Import and Export Wizard to load data from the Access database, so the 64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB driver is installed on your computer. Since the BIDS/SSDT is a 32-bit application, the
    64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB Provider is not visible in BIDS/SSDT. So, when you said that you select “Microsoft Access (Microsoft Access Database Engine)" in the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard (it is actually the 32-bit version) started by the SSDT,
    I think it should be “Microsoft Access (Microsoft Jet Database Engine)”. Because the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB driver only supports Access 2003 or earlier format, it threw the error “Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Unrecognized
    database format 'C:\myDB.accdb'”.
    In this situation, you have two approaches to avoid this issue:
    Launch the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard (64-bit), and select “Save SSIS Package” to “File System” on the “Save and Run Package” page. Then, the package will be saved to a specified directory. After that, you can add this existing package to a SSIS
    project. The status of the corresponding OLE DB Connection Manager should be Work Offline, or the OLE DB Source will throw an error about 32-bit driver if the Connection Manager is not in Work Offline status, you can ignore that and the package can run successfully
    in SSDT as long as the project is set to run in 64-bit runtime mode.
    However, for the SSDT 2012 integrated with Visual Studio 2012, the 64-bit runtime mode is disabled. In this situation, to run the package in SSDT, you have to uninstall the 64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB drivers and install the 32-bit one. Here is the
    download link:

  • Office Add-In Not Working After Installing Office 2013

    I just installed Office 2013 on my Windows 7 Pro desktop with Acrobat X Pro installed and all of the Office Add-In's went away.  I find them very useful and would like to know how I can get them working again. Thanks.

    I wonder why Acrobat X is not compatible with Office 2013. Acrobat X was released late 2010, Office 2013 ca. two years later.
    I think you answered your own question.
    I don't want to buy an update to Acrobat XI for compatibility reasons only.
    While you may not want to buy an upgrade for compatibility reasons, this is one of the main reasons why people do pay for upgrades. After all, you paid for Office 2013! Does this mean that only Microsoft should get money for software, everyone one else should run around to support their incompatible changes for nothing?
    I just want that I can call the PDFmaker out of my Office applications. What is the problem?
    Isn't it clear?
    (Not an Adobe reply)

  • Cannot install Office 2013 during task seqeunce after installing R2

    Hi,
    Since we installed SCCM 2012 R2, I have not been able to install Office in my baseline captures using a task sequence (64-bit OS). Ronni Pederson suggested using an Application rather than a Package but in his example, the application is being pushed rather
    than deployed during OSD. Either way, his solution doesn't work for me. Office 2013 does install on my Windows 7 SP1 32-bit capture without any errors (same package).
    I saw another suggestion that recommended using a wrapper script in a package. When I tried this, I used Task Manager to verify that application was installing and I could see msiexec running. After about 10 minutes, SCCM seems to be waiting for feedback
    from the application which never happens. The task sequence fails and I can see log messages stating that it's Waiting for job status. It repeats this message for about 20 minutes and then fails. The wrapper script seems to have the best results but still
    doesn't install Office without errors. When I logged in as administrator, I could see that Office looks to be installed. I tried launching a few of the apps and they are working so I don't really understand why this installation doesn't work properly.
    Prior to installing R2 on SCCM 2012, this was not a problem. I installed Office 2013 via my capture task sequences many times without any problems. The only thing I can find through research is to use an Application object or use a Package object with a
    wrapper script. I couldn't find any other suggestions.
    Does anybody have any other ideas?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Before I can name any ideas, I need to know what's going wrong. Did you follow all the log files? I would start by looking at the installation log files of Office (%windir%\Temp) and see if it's indeed ending successful. If it does then continue to the
    ConfigMgr log files (App*.log for application, or exempt.log for package).

    Hi,
    Rundll32.exe is responsible for calling Windows DLL (or Dynamic Link Library) files and loading them into your PC's memory.
    Usually the rundll32.exe Application error is not a straight forward error. There are lots of possible reasons for this error, includes a failed or incorrect installation or uninstallation of any softwares, which might have left erroneous Windows registry
    entries.
    Tracking down the exact issue can take lots of investigation. The severity of this error really depends, if everything works well for you, you can just ignore it. However, if you want to correct this, try below steps:
    Since you notice this error right after you installed Office 2013, try to remove and re-install it using default setting.
    Reboot your computer, many programs require a reboot for successful installation.
    Try to update your computer drivers. This is usually the cause of lots of .dll file error.
    Try to run the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe) to correct any incorrect system file. It is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files:

  • Snipping Tool stopping working after installing Office 2013 Pro (32 bit) on Win 7 Pro 64bit - help?

    Have been looking at many forums to fix this:
    ran SFC - no errors
    rebooted multiple times
    all Windows Updates are current
    don't want to disable antivirus, as some have suggested
    Uploaded a registry fix, which several have suggested - no soap
    Note:
    all other features of this PC work great - zero issues.
    the issue starting right after installing Office 2013 Pro - 32bit.  It runs fine.
    "Paint" runs fine.  "Print Screen" works fine - image goes to clipboard, and I can paste anywhere.
    get the standard message everyone posts in forums: 
    "The Snipping Tool is not working on your computer right now. Restart your computer, and then try again. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator."
    Have tried other free third-party tools, and they are cumbersome, and I love the MS Snipping Tool.

    This assumes thatJobID and MatLotID are number fields.

  • How to uninstall Office 2010 32 bit and install Office 2013 64 bit

    Hi Everyone,
    I am rather new to SCCM.  I have setup a SCCM 2012 SP1 system.  I am now trying to setup an Application where it will install Office 2013 64 bit.  Everything seemed to go smoothly until I tried testing it.  I received an error that I
    cannot install the 64 bit version of Office 2013 because Office 2010 32 bit is already installed.
    I tried to modify the MSP where it will uninstall Office 2010 before installing Office 2013 but apparently as soon as it starts it checks for the 32 bit installation and exits when it finds it.
    Could someone give me a detailed solution (since I am new to SCCM)?

    While referring to older versions of office I think this link may apply: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f255e17d-4e1f-4231-8a88-d63f41c83c52/how-to-automatcally-uninstall-office-2007-32-bit-for-installation-of-office-2010-64-bit?forum=officesetupdeployprevious
    Also you might create an office 2010 package, with an uninstall program that removes it.
    Then in your office 2013 package make the uninstall for 2010 to be run first. 

  • We can't install Office 2013 64-bit on a Win 7 PC that had a 32-bit version of Office

    We have a development PC running Windows 7 64-bit. This PC has been around for a while, and way back had various 32-bit versions of Office installed, starting with Office 2003 through 2010. Those versions were uninstalled and Office 2013 Pro
    Plus 32-bit was the latest version installed. That version was uninstalled using Revo Uninstaller then the registry was cleaned using JV16 to make sure leftover junk from the prior 32 bit version(s) was removed so we could install Office 2013 x64
    Pro Plus, which we now need for testing. It won't install because the installer sees something left over from the prior 32 bit version(s). We can't wipe the PC and start over; it has special sensor hardware and software that we can't move to a different PC
    and we're on a tight timeline. We searched the registry and the Program Files (x86) folder and subfolders for anything left over from Office without any luck. The error message reads:
    We can't install the 64-bit version of Office because we found the following 32-bit
    programs on your PC:
    Please uninstall all 32-bit Office programs, then try reinstalling 64-bit Office.
    Note that the error message doesn't list the name(s) of any "32-bit programs on your PC" in the error message.
    Anybody have an idea how to force an installation of 64-bit Office 2013 Pro Plus?

    these tips will help you clean ALL of the bits and pieces of various Office versions you mentioned.
    It is not just Office, there are a few other 32 bit MS applications that may block 64 bit installations:
    Blocking and nonblocking Office applications in 64-bit installations
    If 32-bit Office applications are installed on a computer, a 64-bit Office 2010 installation is blocked by default. The following section (Applications that block a 64-bit
    Office 2010 installation) lists the applications that block a 64-bit Office 2010 installation. The next section (Applications that do not block a 64-bit Office 2010
    installation) lists exceptions; that is, applications that do not block the installation. In such cases, installation of 64-bit Office proceeds even if the listed 32-bit applications are installed on the computer.
    Applications that block a 64-bit Office 2010 installation
    The following applications block a 64-bit Office 2010 installation:
    Microsoft Office Excel Viewer
    Access database engine of Microsoft Access 2010
    Microsoft Office 2010 (Click-to-run)
    Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office system
    Applications that do not block a 64-bit Office 2010 installation
    The following applications do not block a 64-bit Office 2010 installation:

  • Installing Office 2013 on several PCs in a small company

    Rather than create individual Live IDs for each of the 7 PCs in a small company, in order to install Office 2013, can we install 7 copies of Office 2013 using a single Live ID?  (each copy of Office 2013 is licenced individually, not bought through
    VLSC).
    Or, is there a better way to install several copies of Office 2013 in an organisation (that does not want to buy Volume Licencing, they just want to buy individual copies)?

    Are you talking about the local install version Office 2013, or Office 365 (2013)?
    Office 365 is "easier" if you are dealing with volume licenses.  Office 365 "installs" very quickly, in a matter of minutes. So if you are talking about buying individual 365 business licensees, just document a short procedure telling users how to install
    Office 365 (sorry, that may not work if they don't have admin rights on the PC).
    If you bought Office 365 volume license, here is a procedure I pieced together:
    How does a company install and control licenses - Business
    Using Click to Run virtualization, the process of getting new users running has substantially changed. Because CTR installations are so fast, you no longer have to pre-install the software for users.
    A business IT Admin controls use of corporate Office 365 licenses through the Office 365 Administration Center online.
    Overview:
    - In the Office 365 Administration Center the designated Office Administrator sets up the new USER ID
    - Setup the associated email account(s)
    - Setup Office licenses allowed to the userid
    - the new User logs in to their new computer
    - in Internet Explorer the user goes to the “Office 365 Portal” site to get their allowed Office 365 installation
    - using the Click to Run installation process, Office 365 is installed and running on a new computer is a matter of minutes.
    The following links will provide you with more detailed information of where to look and what to do. You may require some additional support from an “expert” .

    Excellent resource to get you started administering your business Office 365 licenses.
    The first video,
    Exploring the Office 365 Administration Center  (9:32), describes
    how to create new userids, and to assign Office licenses to them. It also very quickly breezes by how to install Office.
    The second vidow,
    Office 365 Overview for IT Administrators  (14:00), quickly walks you
    through setting up new company and users.
    On basic setup page, step 3 “Set up User Access” provides links to instructions on how to set up new users.
    In Service Settings, Downloads, you can control what Office apps the user can download.

    Jeremy: So we showed the installation experience for a domain-joined computer where single sign on is enabled and one that is not domain-joined, but installs via the Office 365 portal. In the direct from portal case when you kick off the
    installation, you will see a file that looks something like this:
    Setup.X86.en-us_O365ProPlusRetail_24*****-45a2-4eeb-b06f-b14****189c8_TX_PR_.exe
    In a future episode we'll talk about all of the configurations needed to suppress completely sign-in, first run experiences and user prompts. IT admins have had to deal with these in past releases of Office, but now there are ways to
    automatically sign users in to Office 365 installs picking up their domain credentials. I also showed the effects of deleting the user account from the Azure AD store and how it put Yoni's Office into Reduced Functionality Mode (RFM) -
    even if Yoni installs Office on his personal devices using his organization's Office software assets, once Yoni leaves the org the IT department can deprovision his personal installs. That keeps software asset management cleaner and IT is in control.
    Yoni: Don't forget we also had Mark Russinovich on the show and he explained the security model for online services with Azure AD - in your car. It sounds like they are taking the defense in depth approach to harden the service. And you
    made him slum it in your car, Jeremy.

    Overview of ID, Authentication and Authorization in Office 2013

     >
    This page also has a link to the same poster online (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38193 has PDF and Visio versions of the chart). As well, it goes into
    more detail with information like the following:
    … Because Office is a tool that is used by the same individual in two different roles, the new Office offers two identities with which users can log on to Office 2013:
    A Microsoft account, which most people use for personal business
    An organization ID that is assigned by Microsoft, which most people use when doing work for an organization, such as a business, charity, or school.
    The credentials that are used to sign in are recognized as either personal or organizational. That sign-in identity becomes the user's “home realm” and determines which documents the user has access to on SharePoint, SkyDrive, or Office 365 Services for
    a specific session. Each unique sign in identity is saved in a most-recently used list so that it is easy to switch between identities without leaving the Office experience.
    a personal SkyDrive can be mounted to an organization identity so that personal documents can be accessed at work or school without ever switching identities. Also, when a user authenticates by using an identity, this authentication is valid for all Office
    applications, not just the application he or she signed in to.
    Two logon types are supported when users sign in to Office 2013, a Microsoft account or an organization ID that is assigned by Microsoft.
    Microsoft account (the user’s individual account). This account, formerly known as Windows Live ID, is the credential that users use to authenticate with the Microsoft network and is frequently used for personal or non-business work, such
    as volunteer work. To create a Microsoft account, a user provides a user name and password, certain demographic information, and “account proofs,” such as an alternative email address or phone number. For more information about the new Microsoft account, see
    What is a Microsoft account?.
    An organization ID that is assigned by Microsoft / Office 365 account ID that is assigned by Microsoft. This account is created for business use. An Office 365 account can be one of three types: a pure Office 365 ID, an Active Directory
    ID, or an Active Directory Federation Services ID. These are described below:
    Office 365 ID. This ID is created when an admin sets up an Office 365 domain and takes the form <user>@<org>.onmicrosoft.com, for example:
    [email protected]
    Organization ID that is assigned by Microsoft that is validated against a user's Active Directory ID. An organization ID that is assigned by Microsoft and validated against Active Directory as follows:
    First, a person who has an [on-premise domain]\<user> account attempts to access organization resources.
    Next, the resource requests authentication from the user.
    Then, the user types in their organization user name and password.
    Finally, that user name and password are validated against the organization AD database, the user is authenticated, and is given access to the requested resource.
    An organization ID that is assigned by Microsoft that is validated against a user’s Active Directory Federation Services ID. An organization ID that is assigned by Microsoft and validated against Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS)
    as follows:
    First, one person who has an org.onmicrosoft.com attempts to access
    partner organization resources.
    Then, the resource requests authentication from the user.
    Next, the user types in their organization user name and password.
    Then, that user name and password are validated against the organization AD database.
    Finally, that same user name and password are passed to the partner’s federated AD database, the user is authenticated, and is given access to the requested resource.
    For on-premises resources, Office 2013 uses the domain\alias user name for authentication. For federated resources, Office 2013 uses the [email protected] user name for authentication.

    This page summarized methods of administering Office 365
    User Account Management
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj819300.aspx
    Sign-in for Small Business subscriptions
    Users receive Windows Azure Active Directory cloud credentials—separate from other desktop or corporate credentials—for signing into Office 365 and other Microsoft cloud services.
    Sign-in options for Enterprise, Midsize Business, Kiosk, Academic, and Government subscriptions
    Office 365 for Enterprise, Midsize Business, Kiosk, Academic, and Government subscriptions has two systems that can be used for user identities:
    Organizational account (cloud identity)   Users receive Windows Azure Active Directory cloud credentials—separate from other desktop or corporate credentials—for signing into Office 365 and other Microsoft cloud
    services. This is the default identity, and is recommended for small and midsize businesses in order to minimize deployment complexity. Passwords for organizational accounts use the Windows Azure Active Directory
    password policy.
    Federated account (federated identity)   For all subscriptions other than Office 365 Small Business and Office 365 Small Business Premium, in organizations with on-premises Active Directory that use single sign-on
    (SSO), users can sign into Office 365 services by using their Active Directory credentials. The corporate Active Directory stores and controls the password policy. For information about SSO, see
    Single sign-on roadmap.
    The type of identity affects the user experience and user account management options, as well as hardware and software requirements and other deployment considerations.
    Custom domains and identity options
    When you create a new user, the user’s sign-in name and email address are assigned to the default domain as set in the Office 365 admin center. By default, the Office 365 subscription uses the <company name>.onmicrosoft.com
    domain that was created with the Office 365 account. You can add one or more custom domains to Office 365 rather than retaining the
    onmicrosoft.com domain, and can assign users to sign in with any of the validated domains. Each user’s assigned domain is the email address that will appear on sent and received email messages.
    You can host up to 600 registered Internet domains in Office 365, each represented by a different namespace.
    For organizations using single sign-on, all users on a domain must use the same identity system: either cloud identity or federated identity. For example, you could have one group of users that only needs a cloud identity because they don’t access on-premises
    systems, and another group of users who use Office 365 and on-premises systems. You would use add two domains to Office 365, such as
    contractors.contoso.com and
    staff.contoso.com, and only set up SSO for one of them. An entire domain can be converted from cloud identity to federated identity, or from federated identity to cloud identity.
    For more information about domains in Office 365, see the
    Domains service description.
    Creating user accounts
    Office 365 provides five ways to create user accounts, some of which are not available for Office 365 Small Business and Office 365 Small Business Premium: Add single User, Bulk upload using *.CSV files, Active Directory Synchronization, Azure Active Directory
    Module for powershell, Exchange Simple Migration
    Password management
    The policies and procedures for password management depend on the identity system.
    Cloud identity password management:
    When using cloud identities, passwords are automatically generated when the account is created.
    For cloud identity password strength requirements, see
    Change your password.
    To increase security, users must change their passwords when they first access Office 365 services. As a result, before users can access Office 365 services, they must sign into the Office 365 portal, where they are prompted to change their passwords.
    Admins can set the password expiration policy. For more information for Enterprise and Midsize subscriptions, see
    Set a user’s password expiration policy. For Small Business, see
    Change how often passwords expire.
    License management
    A subscription to Office 365 is made up of a number of licenses to a set of services. An administrator assigns a license to each user for each service that user needs access to. For more information about managing licenses, see
    Assign or remove a license in Office 365 Enterprise, or
    Assign or remove a license in Office 365 Small Business.

  • Installed Office 2013 home and Business and its prompting activation for Office 2013 standard

    Dear Friends,
    Previously i got a trial version of Office 2013 stadard version on my PC and later on i purchased Office home and business version, i uninstalled standard version restarted the PC and installed Office 2013 home and Business OEM pack and activated the prduct.
    Now while i am opening any  office product like Excel or Word while checking for activation information there its showing me both the versions of office, Office 2013 standard (activation required) and office 2013 Home and business activated. Now my question
    is why that office standard 2013 is still showing in my activation page where as the same version was unable to find in my control panel programs and features. please help me out to get rid of this issue.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    Maybe you didn't remove the the Standard version completely, I suggest you uninstall Office using the Fix it tool:
    Click this Fix it.
    Or we can uninstall Office 2013 manually, the steps are long and depend on your installation method, please refer to this article below:
    Manually uninstall Office 2013 or Office 365
    Note   Before you start, you need to know removing Office manually is a long, complex process and might require that you reinstall the operating system if certain steps are done incorrectly.
    After the uninstall, install the version you need to check the result.
    Regards,
