Integrating Office 365 in a business, domain upgrade needed?

Hi,
We have a Windows 2003 domain with Exchange 2010. Is there any way we could migrate to Office 365 without the need to upgrade our domain controllers (f.e. a sync of AD users)?
Please advise.

For the hosted/directory aspects of O365, the dedicated O365 forums are best for your question:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/default.aspx
WS2003 FFL seems to be ok for the minimum:

Can I use my Office 365 for small business version of Sharepoint to develop a type of Business Database Management System?

We have an excel sheet that job enquiries are logged into, estimates and a quote are produced, upon receipt of an order a job is started and once completed gets invoiced. Standard business workflow stuff, can I get 365 to automate this?
I would like to be able to upon a new enquiry being entered and an order received, a set of job folders are automatically created using a unique number from the excel sheet as its job number. These folders would have certain document templates within
them for use on the related job.
I have been experimenting with Zoho Creator to develop a system to do this, but as we have adopted 365 (small business version) it would be preferable to be able to do this all in one place.
Any help or advice greatly appreciated.
Chris

Hi Chris,
As I understand, you would like to create a management system to create folders via number in Excel sheet.
In my view, we could import the Excel sheet to a list, then use workflow to get number and create folders.
Here is a forum specific for Office 365 SharePoint for your reference, please confirm the plan with support engineer there just in case:

Office 365 online Sharepoint (Business Premium) - pre-build intranet site that can be installed

Hello,
Is their any possibility to setup in the new Office 365 online a SharePoint with a pre-build intranet website?
Those options exists in many intranet systems. Example: in Bitrix24 their is possebility to start with a theme for intranet site. The basic theme includes: Several internal departments (Management, IT, Sales, HR ect), tasks by deparment, users groups (by
department) with permissions for each departments, news feed by department ect.
Is their any pre-build option with a simple intranet configuration?
Sometimes it is much easier to configure when using a common simple company structures.
Thank you

Hi,
For SharePoint Online backup and restore, there are basically 4 options:
Use the recycle bin and version history.
Use a 3rd party tool for backup and restore (there are several).
Manually backup sites, lists, and libraries (see:
Information about manual migration of SharePoint Online content and
How to back-up an Office 365 SharePoint Online site and data)
Create an Office 365 support request (see:
Restore options in SharePoint Online)
For more information,you can have a look at the blog:

Lack of Office 365 (local instal) COM Automation support - need a definitive list of the versions and their support for automation.

I develop an application that does some PowerPoint automation using embedded interop types (C# App - with VB assembly that does the office automation part)
I've started to get reports that the PowerPoint automation is failing on Office 365.
Here is a sample of a typical customer complaint:
not exporting to powerpoint...
We recently migrated from Office2007 to O365. That would be definitely the reason.
But how can we solve this?
I found the following reply to a forum question:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/3c95eea4-641f-4bf0-a166-ecf33177854b/does-desktop-versions-of-applications-in-office-365-packages-support-comautomation?forum=exceldev
But it only states that one version doesn't - and then one version does - doesn't reference a list of all support versions.
Also - later - in that thread - it is shown that the accepted answer is actually incorrect.
A sample of the type of code used to interact is shown here....
    Public Function PositionSlideTitle(ByVal slide As PowerPoint.Slide, ByVal height As Single, ByVal marginX As Single, ByVal marginY As Single) As PowerPoint.Shape
       Dim shapes As PowerPoint.Shapes
       Dim shape As PowerPoint.Shape
       ' get the shapes on the slide
       shapes = slide.Shapes
       ' get the shape that holds the title
       ' if the shapes collection has a title, then this title shape is always in index 1
       If shapes.HasTitle = Office.MsoTriState.msoTrue Then
           ' the title shape can also be accessed by the special property Title
           shape = shapes.Title
       Else
           ' If there was no title - then add one
           shape = shapes.AddTitle()
       End If
       ' position the shape at 0,0 (seems not to want to go there)
       shape.Left = marginX
       shape.Top = marginY
       ' stretch image to fit slide
       shape.Width = slide.Master.Width - (marginX * 2)
       shape.Height = height
       Return shape
   End Function
The project references Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint, version 11.0.0.0 with it's "Embed Interop Types" set to true.
This has worked for 10+ years, with all versions of office from Office 2003. We still need the application to support Office 2003 - and it still does perfectly, so referencing newer PIA's isn't an option.
Please help.

Great to know that all versions of Office Support Com Automation.
Because the end-users that have made the complaint - are using Office 365 - it wouldn't be the Click2Run edition as you've mentioned - but it's good to know that information, as I wasn't aware there was a possible issue with that - thanks.
I'll just assume then that the end user that sent the following issue is running them with different permission level:
not exporting to powerpoint...
We recently migrated from Office2007 to O365. That would be definitely the reason.
But how can we solve this?
Although - one more thought - I read somewhere that O365 users can install office via the O365 portal - I wonder whether this is the same as Click2Run install - and hence causing the same out-of-process application error you have referred to?
Kind Regards
UPDATE:
Further reading/searching on click-to-run and O365 found the following:
I can't paste links in this forum, but:
technet microsoft com "en-us/library/jj219427.aspx"
Eugene - you may be onto something with the click-to-run issue - that may be the cause of the error in O365 installations - At least now I have a scenario to test against (user info is always difficult to determine exactly how to replicate issues) - Cheers.

Office 365 tenant with multiple domains - What does Azure AD backend look like?

I'm planning a full cloud deployment of multiple services. I have a few domains I'll be using for email. My question is simple. If I create an office365 tenant, add 3 domains, and then go to AzureAD, do I have 3 Azure AD instances or a single directory?
I'm planning on leveraging Visual Studio Online, but it doesn't play nice with multiple Azure AD domains so I need to make sure I get this right.

you can do both. But normally you will use one azue ad, with all the suffixes in it. But you could create a Azure AD for every domain.

You can nicely do this with Distribution Group or by Transport Rules. Distribution Group will be maybe the easy way.
You can referer to article Create and use distribution groups.
Basically, you create DL with address [email protected] and allow to receive e-mail from external sources. Then you add [email protected] as member of this group.
If you want also sent e-mails from this DL, you can use PowerShell to set rights for it.

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.

Lync 2013 and Office 365 - Desktop Client not showing contact pictures but online and mobile does.

Hello
I have gone so far of opening a support call with Microsoft but they don't know how to fix the problem also so I was wondering if anybody has a fix for me.
We have only about 25 users using Office 365 Mid Size Business - We don't have the AD Intergrated yet - that will be at a later date. So I am not doing any of this thumb photos in AD which I have read about.
So about 15-16 of the machines work fine, We have the Desktop Office 2013 installed , and in Lync everybody can see everybody's contact photo.
We have the rest which works perfect apart from showing the contact photo's - All settings are the same - When these users use the Online Web Lync or iPAD Lync, all photos are displayed....it is just on the desktop.
Like I said Microsoft spent an hour on a workstation and don't know what the fix is - we did all the deletion of the SIP Dir in the c:\users\username\appdata\microsoft\office\15.0\lync - For me , I don't see this as a game changer since all aspects of Lync
work for IM, Conference, Presentation - however I am guessing some of my users want to stare at pictures all day :-)
I would like to know am I the only person getting this?

Hi Andy,
Have you viewed this KB article:

Office 2013 Professional + Office 365 Home Premium - what happens?

I am currently using Office 2013's Excel where I have access to Power Pivot and Power View. This is a perpetual, non-subscription version of Office with the Professional Plus product key.
I am considering purchasing an Office 365 Home Premium license as well, so my family members can use Office on their devices.
Since Power Pivot and Power View (afaik) are not part of Office 365 Home Premium, I wanted to know if I can activate my Office with my Home Premium account but override Excel with the product key?
In other words, is there any way to make Excel behave like it is part of both O365 Home Premium as well as Office 2013 Professional Plus?

Hi,
As far as I know, PowerView and Inquire, are only available on certain SKUs (versions). These include:
Office 2013 Professional Plus (available through Volume Licensing, MSDN and TechNet subscriptions)
Office 365 Professional Plus (available as standalone subscription)
Office 365 Professional Plus (available as part of the
Office 365 Mid-Size Business,
Office 365 Enterprise Plan 3, or
Office 365 Enterprise Plan 4 offerings)
Excel 2013 Standalone Volume License and Standalone Retail 32-bit and 64-bit.
I recommend you connect
Microsoft Customer center to get more detailed information.

Office 365 E3 and Office E4 differences

Hi,
What are the differences between Office 365 E3 and Office 365 E4? Any link for this?
What about the Business Intelligence services any differences between E3 and E4?
Thanks in advance

Here is the plan description of Office 365 Enterprise E3 and Office 365 Enterprise E4:
Office 365 Enterprise E3:

Office 365 Enterprise E4:
http://products.office.com/en-us/business/office-365-enterprise-e4-business-software
Leonidas is right that compare with Office 365 Enterprise E3, E4 plan includes Enterprise voice. For Busines Intelligence services, as far as I know, there is no differences between Office 365 Enterprise E3 and E4.
By the way, this is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office client. There is not so much about

Blackberry Office 365 email calender & contacts sync

Hey Guys
I'm looking to hook my Blackberry Bold up with Office 365.
From what I've learnt so far out of the box I can sync email using POP3 or IMAP4.
However, I would like to sync my calendar and contacts too. I understand I need BlackBerry® Enterprise Cloud Services to do this.
I can see that I can turn that service on in my Office 365 account.
However, do I need to purcahse BlackBerry® Enterprise Cloud Services from Blackberry as well?
What else will I need to get it going do you guys think?
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Aaron

Office 365 authentication

I have an Office 365 username and password. I need to authenticate the credentials without using powershell. I mean by using REST API. I was able to authenticate the admin user using client id and secret along with their username and password.
All I need is to authenticate an end user using his username and password using graph api or any REST api.

Does On-Premise TFS 2013 work with Office 365 natively or do I need an Exchange/O365 Hybrid solution?

Hello. We currently have an on-premise Exchange 2010 environment with 2 servers setup in a DAG. Our Development Department uses an on-premise TFS 2013 server for everything, they can't work without
it. Upper Management wants the IT Dept to move the company from on-premise Exchange 2010 DAG to Office 365. My concern is TFS 2013 since it uses AD and Exchange for workflow notifications. An employee's AD account is given permission to resources
inside TFS 2013 and since Exchange attributes are tied to their AD account they receive workflow notifications. My question is will I need to keep a permanent Exchange 2010/O365 Hybrid solution in-place in order for TFS 2013 to continue function
properly? If the answer is yes than that is fine, I am just looking for confirmation before I start the project. I would appreciate any advice on this topic.<o:p></o:p>
Thanks<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>

Hi Cirbin,
As far as I know, it's not supported to integrate TFS 2013 with Office 365. You can check the
link for more information.
For your situation, whether keep a permanent Exchange 2010/O365 Hybrid solution or not, you might open a new thread in SharePoint/Exchange forum for a better response. From the thred, seems you need to keep the hybrid solution.
And for integration Office 365 users to TFS, please vote the user voice

Email going to deleted items Office 365

I am using Office 365 for small business and have installed a local copy of Outlook on my laptop. No rhyme or reason, some of my emails wind up in My Deleted Items as Unread. I have no rules in place, no spam settings in place. Has anyone
seen this before.
Thanks in advance,
Brad

First of all, please check this on Outlook Web APP to see if emails still go to Deleted Items folder. If yes, then it’s not an issue on Outlook client side. I would suggest you to check on Exchange Online side.
On Outlook client side, I would suggest you to run Outlook with /cleanrules switch anyway to clean any hidden rules:Outlook.exe /cleanclientrules
A corrupted data file also could cause this issue, I would suggest you to use scanpst.exe tool to repair your data file. Please refer to this article on how to use scanpst.exe:
