MS Exchange Server vs Active Sync

Hi ...
I have Office 2013 installed.
I bought Outlook 365 too, and set up this @tresfjording.onmicrosoft.com email server.
But the email address
************@tresfjording.onmicrosoft.com is simply not to live with.
So, in my Outlook 2013 I removed the excahnge server email account. The result is that I can't even make recipients Groups in Outlook ...
How can I get a decent email alias at onmicrosoft.com?
mvh/regards Øyvind Granberg 6391 Tresfjord Norway

Hi,
Contact Groups are not supported in Exchange ActiveSync (EAS).
For more information about your Office 365 user ID, please refer to the following article:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/office365-suite-help/about-your-initial-onmicrosoft-com-domain-in-office-365-HA103834271.aspx
Since this issue is also related to Office 365, I'd recommend you post a question to the Office 365 forum via:

  • Exchange server with active sync in outlook for mac

    I am currently using windows7 machine and installed outlook in it. The outlook is configured with exchange server2013 with active sync protocol. Everything works fine. Now, i planning to purchase a new mac book, and want to install office for mac 2011
    in it. I want to know that, can i configure my exchange server2013 with active sync in that.

    Outlook is not using ActiveSync, not Office for Mac uses it. Outlook is using MAPI (over HTTPs) to connect to Exchange Server, while ActiveSync is used only by mobile devices (such as smartphones and tablets) and by Windows Mail client. And for the Office
    2011 for Mac, it uses EWS to connect to Exchange. I can confirm that it works fine.

  • In Exchange server 2007, is syncing notes to iOS device supported?

    In Exchange server 2007, is syncing notes to iOS device supported? Specially iPhones, and iPads. 
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Here is an article about how to set up Exchange 2007 on iPhone, iPad and iPod:
    http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/setting-up-exchange-2007-on-iphone-ipad-ipod-ios-7
    When setting up, you can select the services that you wish to sync with the Exchange Server.

  • Exchange 2007 SP3 + Active Sync + OWA

    I am curious if this can be done:
    We want OWA to say use https://webmail.xyz.com 
    Then we want say use:  https://activesync.xyz.com  to be exclusively for active sync NOT web mail.   
    So if someone set sup their device and it asks for exchange server:  webmail.xyz.com that only has exclusive rights to OWA, not active sync.
    If someone setups their device with activesync.xyz.com then they just go through active sync and NOT OWA.
    Can this be done with Exchange 2007 SP3, and the reason we are looking into this is for security reasons.
    I need help to find out if this can be done.
    Right now we have webmail.xyz.com configured for both OWA & active sync.
    thanks

    Can you give me some details on this has to be done, do I have to create another URL for say active sync and keep the OWA URL.
    Then get a certificate for the Active Sync URL?
    Thanks

  • Address Book and Exchange Server - NO NOTES SYNCING???

    I have my address book syncing very nicely with my exchange server, but notes do not seem to want to sync. If I create a note on the web access, it doesn't copy to the address book, and none of the address book notes copy to the exchange.
    I can't get an answer out of Apple Support either if they are supposed to sync or not! Has anyone here gotten notes to sync with exchange?
    Thanks so much. I have searched for over 4 hours on Google and these boards, and noone even mentions notes, leaving me to believe that they SHOULD sync.

    Arrgggh! That's a bummer, they could just strip out the notes if they had attachments or something.. or give an error. I have no attachments, and notes are extremely important to me.
    Oh well.. there goes my ability to do away with Entourage!

  • Exchange calendar over Active Sync not working - Email does work

    Hi all,
    I am having some strange issue with my iPhone calendar sync with Exchange (not over iTunes but over the Air with the new business features).
    I happen to connect to the exchange server and exchange Contacts and Email without any problems but when it comes to the calendar it stops working. I have no Idea why though?!
    IF I create a subfolder on that Calendar and fill it with info it works, appointments are shown but my normal real calendar is not shown at all.
    Weired isn't it?
    I would be very gratefull for any help.
    Kind regards
    Maniak

    Same problem here...but mine seems to be caused by changing the Exchange settings for testing and then changing them back to what they were. Email and contacts work perfectly, but calendar is dead. What makes it even weirder is that when I click in the calendar I can see the items start pouring into the list view, then they all disappear and it remains empty.
    Anyone have any ideas? I tried a restore but I didn't have a backup before I made those changes so it is obviously still happening...

  • My gmail account connecting to the exchange server, does not sync correctly

    Hello,
    i've been with the sync. problem with my gmail account which is connecting my iPod touch 2nd-gen./iOS v4.2.1 to the google's exchange server, more specifically when i read some emails offline.
    Actually there is no sync problem when i read emails online, when the read emails are shown 'having been read' at the desktop browser as well.
    That is, the problem i have now is the 'having been read' emails offline do not sync correctly to the google's exchange server.
    Hopefully there is some help from this forum i can get.
    Thanks
    YH Kwon

    Right now the add-ons got synced but the customization I did to the looks of it did not.
    These customizations are: moving the home button right next to the back button and removing the search bar.
    Conclusion: it takes a while(about an hour!!!!!) to sync these stuff, at least that is what happened with me though my connection was normal and not slow at all.

  • Connect Exchange email without active sync just as I do on Mac mail on Mac book.  Using OWA site.

    I am trying to connect my exchange email to my iPhone without using active sync. I am able to connect it to the Mac mail program on my MacBook pro with out ay issues. Can this be done on the iPhone?  Please instruct.

    Hi,
    I have a similar issue, just purchased Iphone4, can't get my enterprise emails because i get the typical "Unable to verify" message. My It guys (which are totally unfamiliar with Iphone because we are a blackberry-organisation ) tried to create an acoount on my iphone with no succes, afterwards they said that our email application is not compatible with iphone and that "we will upgrade it but don't know when".
    After googeling (without understanding much ) i found that:
    Active Sync is needed for Iphone to get emails, Active Sync works only with Microsoft Exchange SP2.
    We have Microsoft Exchange 2003 RTM (6.5.6944.3) so no SP1, no SP2.
    Is this the issue why we can't get it work?  If yes, is there any other way to get my emails without this ActiveSync?
    (we have OWA in case this is usefull).
    Thanks a lot!

  • Do connections between Outlook and Exchange Server continue to sync without proper DNS?

    Hi there,
    We were acquired by an other company that uses Office365.com, so we are moving accounts over from Intermedia, our existing provider, to your service. My question is this: If i point our MX records over to Office365, will we be able to work with the old calendar
    and email items using the existing connection between Outlook and Intermedia Exchange? I understand that no new external mail will be delivered to the Intermedia accounts, but will we still have access to the existing items in the old mailbox as long as we
    have the Intermedia accounts?
    My plan is to receive new mail at Office365.com while taking our time to copy over old emails from the Intermedia folder to Office 365 folders.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Hi,
    According to your description, your accounts are moved from on-premise Exchange server to Exchange online server and you have the doubt about the availability of calendar and emails through the on-premise Exchange server.
    However, since it’s related to Exchange online, to get more professional and quicker help, I recommend you post it on our Exchange online forum, as Ed said.
    If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
    Thanks,

  • Syncing ACT contacts while on automatic wireless syncing with Microsoft Exchange Server?

    Does anyone know if this is possible? At the moment, my company is automatically performing a wireless sync between Outlook contacts and their Blackberry Curve 8330 devices. However, employees that travel also need their ACT contacts on their phone. I've researched CompanionLink and know that I can get the ACT contacts directly onto the Blackberry that way, but, the problem arises where the ACT contacts will end up syncing back to the Exchange server -- which we don't want. We want to keep the automatic syncing with Outlook, but periodically we want to do a one-way ACT transfer onto our Blackberries, without having those extra (approximately 5,000) contacts go back into Outlook. Is there an easy way to categorize/separate Outlook and ACT? Any ideas or workarounds?

    I am trying to sync my Outlook 2007 with my palm Treo Pro but keep getting the same error - server could not be reached Error code
    80072ee2. This is probably a basic question but the server you enter into the Microsoft Exchange settings in active sync is the mail server you have in Outlook 2007? eg mail.internode.on.net. I don't need to do anything to outlook 2007 to "activate" Microsoft Exchange.
    I'm looking at the Internode setup guides and it looks as though you have a POP server. In that case, if you want to sync directly to the server, you would want to set it up for POP/SMTP rather than for Microsoft Exchange Server. Does that help?
    If you do not want to sync over the air and instead want to sync only by USB/Bluetooth to your PC, I think that works quite differently. I don't have any experience with that.

  • IPad no syncing Contacts via Exchange Active Sync

    We have set up a Exchange 2003 server with Active Sync and everything is working good except it is not syncing the users contacts. Any ideas?

    You mean on the device? Yeah, it's set to sync contacts as well as Calendar and Email.

  • Exchange active sync not requesting advanced setup details

    hi - we have exchange 2010 with active sync 14.1  we have many types mobile devices connected using active sync including iphone and android.  when we previously added any account onto a phone we always had to add the advanced setup manually during
    the setup i.e. mail server and domain.  now these details are added automatically after adding email and password.  This seems less secure and i need to find how to stop this.
    Thanks

    Hi ,
    This is normal behavior in exchange because of autodiscover feature and it is making up the things easier during new account configuration on mobile devices.
    After giving up the user name and password ,autodiscover is the feature which will bring up the remaining settings that you mentioned .
    We will discuss in terms of security view .
    1.User's password would be confidential .
    However in worst cases someone might know about anyone's password and email address then on such case there would be chance to configure that particular account in any of the mobile devices.
    We can control the above scenario too.
    In exchange Active sync organisation settings we have an option to set the DefaultAccessLevel to quarantine for the devices.So that administrator can decide to allow or block the active sync device which is trying to connect to exchange.
    Reference Link : http://exchangeserverpro.com/preventing-new-activesync-device-types-from-connecting-to-exchange-server-2010/
    Note : If your existing exchange organisation is having active sync devices configured in use then before changing the "Defaultaccesslevel" to quarantine we need to make sure existing active sync device ID'S are added to the corresponding mailboxes
    -ActiveSyncAllowedDeviceIDs

  • Will I lose my personal contacts if I add an Exchange/Active Sync account?

    I read that if I configure my business Exchange account via active sync I will lose my personal contacts on the phone. True?

    i set mine up for Exchange today and when I went to turn on Contacts it warned me this it would replace all my contacts with the ones from Exchange. Since I have all of my Personal contacts in a group on Exchange/Outlook anyway it was Ok for me. Once you are setup to sync with Exchange and Contacts it no longer sync with the Contacts on your computer.
    What worked out well for me was I was just testing the Exchange piece so I later turned off Contact synching and it erased all of the Contacts on my Touch. Then, the next time I synched with my computer I had the option to sync Contacts again from the computer and that put me back to the way I was before playing with the Exchange piece.

  • Exchange ActiveSync - Exchange server down

    We had a situation this weekend where the Exchange store didn't come up properly after a restart. Apparently, there was a sync pending for one of the iPhones when this happened, as the Application log was quickly flooded with error messages:
    Unexpected Exchange mailbox Server error: Server: [sbs2.xxxxxx.com] User: [[email protected]] HTTP status code: [503]. Verify that the Exchange mailbox Server is working correctly.
    This error was being posted about twice per second. While the error log getting hammered isn't ideal, the bigger issue was that the user's phone was rapidly draining the battery from all of the activity.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to prevent this in the future?

    Hi..  Welcome to the Palm forums.  Well I will answer your questions as best I can.  First here is a link for the Administrators Guide for MicroSoft Exchange Activesync  http://www.palm.com/us/support/handbooks/treo/Treo650_ExchangeActiveSyncAdminGuide.pdf.  As you look thru it you will see that when it is talking about your data it states that it syncronizes which means the device updates the server and visa versa when you sync. So in answer to your question, if you setup a 680 to sync to an exchange server does it sync or simply update the server?  The exchange server has the ability for it to syncronize, both update each other.  Now I am not a system administrator but I would strongly believe that feature can be modified on the server end and that may be the case with a free exchange server account.  So what they are telling you is either they have their server set only to update the mobile device or they dont know how to set it up any other way.  As expensive as the MicroSoft Exchange Activesync software is I would assume that full service would be for a fee.  So in answer to question 1, yes an Exchange Server will syncronize (providing it is setup to do so).  Now for question 2.  In regards to the Pre, There's no special client application that we know of.  You can connect the Pre as a mass-storage device via mini usb and drag-and-drop into preexisting folders made for those files.  As for other types of syncing, such as Outlook, we have no information as to how that will work yet.  The best information available (about the only information) is at www.palm.com/pre.
