Login ID best practice. Windows 8, Office 365 with SkyDrive and SkyDrive PRO

I have had many confusing issues with multiple and conflicting ID's. I have just spent 3 hours online with MS technical support to discover that a document can be edited in Word and saved to Sharepoint365 but if it is synched with the
desktop and that one is edited then the local signon sets the wrong permissions and the upload centre fails.
I have two MSOL Office/365 accounts, both Enterprise level with SkyDrive Pro.
I have two Live accounts, both with SkyDrive.
I am using Windows 8 so need to signon with a live ID or local and non-linked account.
Assuming I configured;
1. W8 user account with Live ID AAA and only used MSOL/365 Account BBB in a session.
2. W8 user account with Live ID ZZZ and only used MSOL/365 Account XXX in a session.
Would that be okay?
1. Should I be able to access AAA Skydrive and BBB SkyDrive Pro in the same session?
2. If I synch SharePoint folders from a BBB session should I be able to edit them directly in word, with user account BBB active and be able to save okay?
Cheers, Richard

In Windows Live you could create alias account which means you have one Windows Live Account but login with multiple email. You create one account and then link Office365 account as alias to it. You could have one Windows 8 account and different Office365
account too.
You could also configure your Office365 account to use your Windows Live Id and login with that account.

BEST PRACTICES: How to deploy apps with public and private content & data?

Can anyone recommend a guide, blog post, etc. on best practices for:
- designing & deploying apps that have publicly-accessible (http + https) content, and
- content and data for which users must be authenticated and authorized?
NOTE: In our environment users are authenticated via OID. We're using Apex 4.

Best Practices to configure the connectivity with Bank and EBS

Hi All,
We are working on a requirement where Middleware(SOA) has to read the file from Oracle E-biz server and send it to BANK.
For Connectivity setup between Oracle E-biz and Middleware(SOA), Middleware(SOA) and BANK do we need to use oracle as user or we can use any user to communicate between E-biz and Bank?
Could you please share best practices/documents if you have any on how we should establish the connectivity and setup the workflow with Bank and E-Biz. E-Business
Thanks & Regards
Narendra

Hi Narendra,
Oracle User and the FTP user are 2 different users.
I'm assuming you'll be reading the file from R12 through File Adapter and writing it to Bank using FTP Adapter.
Oracle User is able to login into R12, do some operations, submit some concurrent programs/requests based on responsibilities and generate the file to be transferred (like in my case it did by running a Concurrent Request). The file so generated should be placed at a location from where File Adapter can read it within the BPEL process. Now to read the file, the user that is used is a SOA server user (again different from R12 user). This is the same user that you use to login into your SOA server physical box. Hence to be able to read the file, your file should have appropriate privileges (we set that as 777) so that it can be read by the SOA process (using SOA user).
FTP user, on the other hand, is the user that allows connection to Bank FTP server. This has absolutely no connection with R12. Bank who hosts the FTP server must give you the FTP user details that you'll use inside your FTP JNDI Configuration on Weblogic. When you deploy and run your process (you don't deploy adapter), it picks up the connection details from FTP JNDI properties that you defined in weblogic.
Hence both the jusers can be different and I don't think any best practices are required or do exist for this.

Office 365 with mailboxes and dirsync without Exchange on-premises

I currently have Active Directory deployed on premises without Exchange. I am migrating my e-mail to Office 365 from a third-party service and want to use dirsync + password sync so my users can use the on premises credentials and Office
365.
Since I do not have Exchange installed on premises (and therefore do not have the Exchange on premises management tools), how do I manage the mailboxes for the synchronized users? I know I cannot change e-mail related attributes, such as e-mail addresses,
directly in Office 365 for synchronized users.
Thanks!

If you are going to use dirsync, the local AD will be the source of authority, so only a very limited subset of attributes can be edited directly in the cloud (either via the EAC or EO PowerShell). It's a very good idea to extend the AD with the Exchange
attributes, as you will definitely need to manage some of those. For more info you can review for example this article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh852478.aspx
After you have installed Exchange and thus extended the schema, you can safely remove the Exchange server right away. All the needed attributes will be available via dsa.exe, or AD module for PowerShell.
I would also recommend creating distribution groups directly in the cloud, because even with the extended schema, you will run into some management issues. You can read more about it here:

Best method for controlling Office 365 updates

Were looking for the best method for updating Office 365. We will be testing prior to releasing the version to the rest of the company. We have a couple of methods we're contemplating but looking for any pros or cons for each. We are also
using SCCM 2012.
1. Run setup.exe setting the version and internal install source in an .xml file run as an SCCM package using distribution points as the install source.
2. Run click2runclient.exe with command lines setting the version and internal install source as an SCCM package using distribution points as the install source.
3 Set the version through group policy and turn on automatic updates and don't specify an install source.
Option 3 appears to be the most straight forward with the least administrative overhead. Would it be possible to revert back to an earlier version using this method?
I have read various articles but looking for any input as to what is working well or not working for others.

Hi,
I would like to share this
blog post with you, which provides an example how to implement a fully automated testing and deployment process of Office 365 updates. This deployment method provides you the ability to test updates before you approve them in my environment.
The process might look like:
Deploy Office 365 in your environment with Office Deployment Tool, configure the "Updates" element in the configuration.xml file so that updates are enabled and the "UpdatePath" attribute points to an internal source.
Download the latest Office 365 build into a different internal source, configure your test machine to pick up builds from it.
After testing the updates, copy the updates to the first internal source.
You should be able to integrate the process with SCCM to reduce your administrative effort.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Ethan Hua

Please advice me the best way and guide line (information) to do it smoothly.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Andres parnova,
Thanks for your information.
I found series of articles in msexchange.org
http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/office-365/exchange-online/performing-staged-exchange-migration-office-365-exchange-online-part1.html which has very nice and clear information.
But, in the articles the author did not include ADFS configuration and steps.
I would like to know how to configure ADFS and single sing-on.

Best practice for integrating oracle atg with external web service

Hi All
What is the best practice for integrating oracle atg with external web service? Is it using integration repository or calling the web service directly from the java class using a WS client?
With Thanks & Regards
Abhishek

Using Integration Repository might cause performance overhead based on the operation you are doing, I have never used Integration Repository for 3rd Party integration therefore I am not able to make any comment on this.
Calling directly as a Java Client is an easy approach and you can use ATG component framework to support that by making the endpoint, security credentials etc as configurable properties.
Cheers

Migrate from Google Apps to Office 365 with admin credentials only

Hi team,
We are migrating from Google Apps to Office 365. I know the normal procedure of migrating, but I want to know how to migrate from gmail to office 365 with administrator credentials. Normally for migration, we use user's mail ID and password in CSV file.
But I don't want to use users credentials, instead I want to use only Administrator credentials.
Thanks in Advance...

A third party tool such as MigrationWiz can accomplish this task. More information on how to set up administrative access can be found here:

Does any know the procedure ?

This question was closed over a year ago. You will need to start a new question. You can post a link back here if you think it helps.
I also recommend asking in the O365 developers forum for how to do bulk license upgrades. You can use the answer here and just remove and then add the new license.

Hi benlebvb,
Are you running a 32- or 64-bit OS? Please see this thread: Acrobat 8 and Windows 7 Don't Work
While that is not a supported configuration (Acrobat 7 on Windows 8), some customers have been able to make it work. The thread I've referenced should give you some good pointers.

Where is the best place to make a slideshow with pictures and music on a mac?

Where is the best place to make a slideshow with pictures and music on Macbook Pro?

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

Lync for Windows 8 (from the store, for RT or Pro) won't login - just 'spins' while loggining into Office 365, requires reinstall to fix

The Lync app (the one you get from the Microsoft Store in Windows 8) just stalls (the wait 'circle' just endlessly circles) while trying to sign in with my Office 365 account. It doesn't time out or provide an error message. This
happens on both my Surface RT and Surface Pro. It happened on both devices when I had Windows 8, and continues to happen after upgrading both devices to Windows 8.1. I'd like to point out that on the Surface Pro, I also have Lync 2013 installed
as part of Office 2013 Professional Plus, and Lync 2013 never has a problem signing in. I can sign in successfully with Lync 2013, then immediately try to sign in with the Lync app and experience the stalling login on the Lync app.
Following the app's troubleshooting tips (linked from the login page), I've tried removing my log in credentials, closing the app and restarting it, and even restarting the Surface. None of these work. The only thing that works is to uninstall
the Lync app, then re-install, launch, configure, and login to it. However the Lync app will only continue to work for 1-2 days and eventually the stalled login issue returns.
This has been going on since I first started using Lync in September 2013. I've had to re-install it several times on the Surface RT.
I can't find anything in event viewer to help with this. I've read about ensuring that the time is properly sync'd and can confirm the time is set properly. Again Lync 2013 works on the Pro even when the Lync app won't.
I tried to do a clean reboot following these steps at KB 929135. However there aren't any non-Microsoft services for me to disable, and there are no start up items to disable.
As I mentioned I updated my Surface devices to 8.1, but I even went to the trouble of completely refreshing them (complete re-install). They are on the latest firmware, OS, and patch level.
Given that Lync 2013 works fine on the Surface Pro, I suspect the problem is with the Lync app itself, not with the device, Windows, or the Lync service.

Hi,
I apologize for incorrect mark and repeated redirection between two forums. I suggest you confirm with your colleagues if s/he also encounter the issue on RT client.
Here is the order of preference for Lync 2013 client:
lyncdiscoverinternal
lyncdiscover
sipinternal
sip
For Lync 2013 Windows Store App, it only queries lyncdiscoverinternal and lyncdiscover and does not advance further. If the issue happen on all RT client, please double check your lyncdiscover records.
If the issue persists, please refer to this KB article to collect log files for further troubleshooting.

Outlook Calendar 2013/ Office 365 - Best Practice Sharing an Outlook Calendar with others

I am being asked to share user calendars with several users. Would anyone have a recommendation or know the best practice on doing this? I know of two options. Normally I would have used the option in Outlook to add delegates. I was working on
another issue and someone showed me how you can right click on the users name in Calendar and choose properties and then click the permissions tab. The second option changes permissions just for Calendar. Using the delegate option, inbox permissions
can be granted also. Is one of these options better than the other? Thanks

Hi,
There are a few differences between Sharing and Delegation in Outlook. The most important thing is that delegates are people who are allowed to send on behalf of you while sharing is just that you share your folders with others.
There is a general setting in the main Delegates dialog to control whether or not you will still receive these messages yourself as well.
In addition, you can also control whether or not a delegate will receive these messages on a per-delegate basis. This cannot be done by just sharing your Calendar.
Besides, delegate permissions are also required when you want to grant your colleague the permission to see items which are marked as Private. However, there is no way to grant this permission on a per-folder basis.
For more information about this, you can have a look at this:
