Lightning and Office 365 Calendar integration

I'm working on setting up Thunderbird for a client who makes use of Office 365. I have regular email working nicely, no problems there, but I cannot get Lightning to sync up with the calendars.
As a quick side note, the links for support on the Lightning site are dead and should be removed or updated ('Get Support' at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/projects/calendar/). The 'Support Site' link at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/lightning/ is a read-only blog. Not exactly a support site at all.
Procedure I'm following is basically what's found at http://it.ucmerced.edu/node/402.
When I reach Step 14, nothing happens. Autodiscover hangs indefinitely, no errors, no results. I contacted and worked with Microsoft already, they provided the following URLs, none of which worked:
- https://outlook.office365.com/ews/exchange.asmx
- https://m.outlook.com/ews/exchange.asmx
- (and one more which is more specific to the organization, omitted for privacy)
Same deal as autodiscover-- no errors, no prompts, just sits there (have waited over a half hour on test machines).
Office 365 is incredibly common, I cannot be the only one attempting this configuration recently.
Windows 7, latest Thunderbird, latest Lightning, and the latest add-on from http://www.1st-setup.nl/wordpress/?page_id=133. I realize the add-on is a bit old, which might be my problem but I'd like some corroboration.
Has anyone out there successfully configured Lightning to work with their Microsoft hosted O365 calendars? Suggestions?
Thanks much!

First, I have found zero support from Microsoft. There support people appear to be incapable of understanding that active sync is a Microsoft proprietary protocol and not everyone pays for the rights to use it. They also get very quite when caldav the open protocol is mentioned. No money in that for Microsoft so it is not even an option. Just as they resisted imap for almost 20 years.
The exchange calendar add-on just does not work with the current Thunderbird version.
So my alternative assuming OWA is offered as a part of office 365 is the davmail client would make a good intermediary. If it is an office situation, davmail can also be configured on a server http://davmail.sourceforge.net/index.html

SP 2010 and Office 365 C2R owssupp.dll or interceptor.dll issues

Hello,
At my company we're having compatibility issues after upgrading our
Windows 7 SP1 64-bit NL-NL laptops
to Internet Explorer 11 and Office 365 ProPlus Click-to-Run
32-bit NL-NL.
Our
initial notebook configuration had Internet Explorer 9,
Office 2007 ProPlus and Lync Basic 2013 installed.
The upgrade path exists of deleting Office 2007 and Lync Basic 2013, installing the Office 365
Click-to-Run and letting Internet Explorer update via the Windows Updates
The issues we experience happen between our
SharePoint 2010 On Premise and the SharePoint Online environment.
While we had no issues before, now, when trying to edit a document on SharePoint 2010 On Premise
we get the message: "A Microsoft SharePoint Foundation compatible application could not be found to
edit the document"
Doing some digging around online a lot of topics point to the ‘owssupp.dll’ as a possible culprit
but to no avail we tried a number of suggested solutions, listed below. Some of these solutions might propably work for the Office 2013
MSI installation but none of them seem to apply to the Click-to-Run version.
- Repair Office (Fast and Online)
- Delete and reinstall Office
- Switch in IE between 32 and 64 bit mode but this is
not possible with Internet Explorer 11
- Tried the Microsoft Hotfix KB
2726997 but got the message that it
does not apply to our system.
- Check registry references if owssupp.dll points to Office 15
- Manually re-register owssupp.dll
- Replaced owssupp.dll by the Office 2007 version
- Checked if all SharePoint add-ons in Internet Explorer were enabled
-> 'Sharepoint OpenDocuments Class' refers to interceptor.dll
not owssupp.dll
- Check/Install “Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation Support”..
Click-to-Run doesn’t
have that option
- Create registry keys in:  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Components\55EAFA0B8A4403B428FDE038B252C621
What there should be: HKCR\Installer\Components\55EAFA0B8A4403B428FDE038B252C621\x86\1033
What should be added: HKCR\Installer\Components\55EAFA0B8A4403B428FDE038B252C621\x86\1043
But the 55EAFA0B8A4403B428FDE038B252C621-key
doesn't exist with the Click-to-Run version and manually creating it doesn’t help
- Put the site in the 'Intranet Zone'
- Put the site in the 'Trusted Sites' list (prodsharepoint.kindengezin.be)
         -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\ZoneMapKey                    -> *.kindengezin.be
(REG_SZ, Data: 1)
- Check if our SharePoint 2010 On Premis environment is completely up-to-date
- Create
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office 15\ and placed the owsupp.dll in it; in case SharePoint would be looking for it in the wrong place;        -> Keep in mind that the folder structure with Office
365 ProPlus Click-to-Run is different than the 'normal' Office 2013 as the owssupp.dll is now located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15\owssupp.dll
- Checked if our Firewall settings are up to date (IP-ranges and other settings)
The test where I got it to
work, but is not a solution in my personal opinion is: Open the Lync Basic 2013 setup and only check
Support for Microsoft SharePoint Foundation
In your Programs and Features list you now have 2 entries: Microsoft Lync Basic 2013 Microsoft Office
365 ProPlus – nl-nl
I do not trust this “solution” as I do not know the future consequences of this “solution” in terms
of updates or functionality.

Anyone? Have OWSSUPP.DLL issues with Office15 and IE11 as well - can't get the "Connect to Outlook" menu option on SharePoint calendars to show.

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.

Office 365 calendars not showing

I'm running Version 8.0 (2032.6.1) of iCal on Yosemite. My main calendar is hosted on Office 365.
There was a problem with duplicated entries in the calendar, which actually meant that iCal would crash on startup. I fixed that by deleting the duplicates with temporary access to the Windows version of Outlook. As part of trying to get iCal to work again, after the repair of the calendar, I removed the various caches and .plist files, as recommended on various sites. Now, I'm in a slightly strange state in that the Exchange (Office 365) account isn't listed in the iCal list of accounts, and entries for that calendar are not showing, it is still in some way connected, because the application icon shows the number of outstanding entries.
What is the best way of restoring visibility of the Office 365 calendar in iCal?
I've tried deleting and re-adding this account, but it hasn't helped.

Spinning rainbow wheel for long periods on File Open commands in Acrobat and Office 365 programs

Hardware & Software:
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2009)
77GB of free hard disk space
8GB RAM
Running OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10.2)
Over the last few days, when I try to execute a File Open command from Adobe Acrobat or Office 365 programs (even from an innocuous location such as Documents), I get the spinning rainbow wheel for long periods of time (10 seconds to minutes) before I am able to select a file to open. I copied messages from Console after a File Open command for each of Adobe Acrobat and Excel (the selected location was Documents), given below:

Thanks.

Yes; I have previously connected to an iMac at this location using File Sharing. However, in my attempts to solve this problem last week, I had already unchecked File Sharing in System Preferences. Tonight, I also deleted the folder from the window in the File Sharing System Preferences page, then rebooted. The problem still persists.
I try not open files across a server line, i.e., I try always to copy a file to the local computer and open it there. I may have gotten careless and tried to open a file from the Windows server with either or both Acrobat and Office 365. Although this was an SMB share, is it possible that these programs are now trying to connect to the Windows server on a File Open?
I had about decided to quit chasing this problem; we spend about two weeks every two months at this Boston location, and I'll be returning to my Florida home this weekend. So I decided I would see what the situation was when I returned to my native habitat, although I may be chasing this problem again in our trip to the Boston area in April.
The other thing I wondered (I guess I can't quite let it go), is whether there is a command line in Terminal that would kill all AFP shares.
In any case, thanks for your help; you're very knowledgeable.

Please see Huge lag in games on bootcamp as a reference. The linked thread is for a GT750m.
Since there are no mid-2013 Retina models (as per Apple - Support - Technical Specifications), assuming this is your Mac - MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) - Technical Specifications - the same should work for you.

What's the difference between SharePoint 2013 and Office 365 Team Sites?

Hi there,
What are the differences between SharePoint 2013 and Office 365 Team Sites?
If I would like to develop a professional corporate website with SharePoint technology (because the company allready uses Office 365), do you recommend using SharePoint 2013 (in the cloud) or Office 365 Team Sites? And why?
Thank you very much!

You cannot make SPO Team Sites anonymous-enabled, therefor they're a moot point for a public website.
While slightly out of date, take a look at this:

Exchange Server 2013 and Office 365 Integration

If we are using Exchange Server 2013 on premise, can we have 2 of our users integrated with Office 365 so that they can utilize their Exchange Server email account with the apps and features of Office 365?

Hi,
You can deploy a hybrid environment using Exchange 2013 CU2 or later version with Office 365.
Could you please tell me what do you mean by "we have 2 of our users integrated with Office 365 so that they can utilize their Exchange Server email account with the apps and features of Office 365"?
Here is my understanding: You create these two mailboxes on Exchange 2013, but you need to allow for redirection from the on-premises OWA environment to the Office 365 OWA. If that is your case, you need to specify a target URL for your organization(for
example, www.outlook.com/contoso.com). If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
For more information, here is an article for your reference.

Add-in support on Office 365 click-to-run installed and Office 365 App-V installed

Hi,
We have to make a decision on deploying Office 365 via on premise click-to-run, with the Office Deployment tool, or via App-V. But the way add-ins are supported on Office 365 / Office 2013 on App-V 5.0 SP2 is not clear to me.
Some Technet sites mention that for add-in support on an App-V based office, the add-ins should be sequenced and put together in a connection group with the Office App-V package (created by the Office Deployment tool)
On
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 however, I read in the table “Full-featured Office with integration with other applications,
add-ins, and Windows”
When testing with third party applications and Visual Studio installed in a classical installer way, the add-ins are added to the App-V installed Office, but we are sometimes experiencing error messages in word / excel with the add-ins
enabled.
Should add-ins be sequenced to be used on an App-V based Office? Or in other words, is there a difference in add-in support between the click-to-run version and the App-V version of Office for non-virtualized add-ins?

Hi,
There is a new feature for Office 365 Pro Plus, it allow administrators the ability to exclude App element. We need to use Office 2013 Click-to-Run (Build 15.0.4615.1001) and logon as administrator.

Then, we'd better follow this link and repeat the steps one by one:

Viewing Office 365 Calendar entries on Z10

Hi I have a Z10 connected to Office 365. When I made the connection I could sync email calendar, notes etc. I have lost the ability to see appointments in the calendar function in the phone. I can see appointments in the hub for that day. I can also see appointments in a subsidiary calendar tied to my MS email account giving birthdays but nothing in my primary business calendar in the calendar app, only in the hub.. I can enter appointments in the calendar app in the phone and they appear in Office 365 but the calendar app in the phone shows no appointments including the one I just entered. The Calendar worked with my primary business calendar and the birthday calendar to begin with and then the business calendar disappeared with me making no changes that I am aware of, while the birthday calendar continues to show. How do I get my business calendar to show in the calendar app as well as the Hub while continuing to sync with Office 365

Hi DT655,
Thanks for your reply. Since my original post I have upgraded and subscribed to Office 365 Midsize Business. All has gone well, everything has been migrated over and all has been synced correctly.
Except my BlackBerry Z10 where Calendar syncs everything going forward, but only three months back. My BB PlayBook is the same (only three months back). However, my desktop and iPads sync all events going back many years.
I have followed your instructions by deleting my old e-mail accounts on both my Z10 and my PlayBook and reinstalled them using the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, but it is still the same - only three months back on both BB devices.
As my other devices sync all events going back many years, and as there used to be an option within the old BB Desktop Manager to sync All Events, I am sure the restriction I now have must be a BB issue and not an Office 365 issue. Do you agree, and do you know where I can get to some settings that allow me to change the three month default?
Thanks.

Hi,
If you wanted to add a delegate to possiblly a large number of users or you do this during mailbox provisioning. So the following script will use
impersonation to access another users mailbox and add a delegate.

$delegatetoAdd = "[email protected]"
$dllpath = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange\Web Services\1.0\Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.dll"
[void][Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile($dllpath)

Server 2012 R2 Essentials and Office 365 Directory Synchronization

I'm in the process of Migrating an on premise Exchange 2013 Environment to Office 365. The environment already has Server 2012 R2 Essentials configured and integrated with Office 365 for Lync. I'm trying to determine best way of setting up the Hybrid Exchange
environment and move to Office 365. From what I've read it appears I need to setup the Office 365 Dir Sync tool. But I'm wondering if I need to break the existing Server Essentials Integration or can I just add configure the Dir Sync tool and go forward with
setting up the Hybrid Environment.
Vincent Sprague

If you are going down this route I would stop using the Essentials Integration and use the full DirSync which does more than the Essentials Integration.
