You can just extend the schema for exchange (You don't need to configure the attributes), but as always when it comes to sensitive changes to Active Directory.
Perform the operation in a test environment and examine the results.
Take a backup so you can perform a full forest recovery in case of a undesired result.

Email Signature for Office 365 Solutions

I am looking for a cost effective and centralized solution to place email signatures, to an Office 365 Outlook email client.
We have tried products, such as Exclaimer and CodeTwo, but are looking for something that works, more effectively.
I am looking for ideas for this to propose a working solution.
Thank you,

I'm writing a script that will automatically install Outlook 2010 if Office 2013, 2010, 2007, or 2003 are not installed. It's part of a script I already have each tech has to run locally due to management decisions(that I have no control over). Right now I prompt the tech if they want to install it. Then test for the installer and install it.
PowershellDo{$outlook = read-host "Would you like to install Outlook 2010? y/n" IF ($outlook -eq "y") { If (Test-Path -Path C:\Update\outlook2010) { saps -filepath C:\update\outlook2010\setup.exe -wait } Else { Write-host "Outlook is not in the update folder!" -ForegroundColor Red } }ElseIF ($outlook -eq "n") { Write-Host "Please make sure there is an email client." -ForegroundColor Yellow }}While ('y','n' -notcontains $outlook)What I would like to do is remove the prompt as it's a volume license...

Z10 and Q10 frequently asking for Office 365 password

I have an AT&T Z10, and a client has a Verizon Z10 and 2 Verizon Q10s. Both of us use Office 365 as our email service. With the lack of BB10 support in BBCS (Blackberry Cloud Service for Office 365) I was forced to set up all these devices on ActiveSync. For the most part this is working OK. However each user has either been prompted for the Office 365 password multiple times in a day, or they don't notice the prompt and the ActiveSync account is marked as invalid on the Accounts list in setup.
I have looked everywhere within the Office 365 administration console and can find nothing related to asking for the password frequently. I did find settings to control if the device has a password, but nothing related to the device prompting for the Exchange password.
I am only annoyed by it, but my client is getting quite frustrated and is questioning whether they will bother upgrading their other 20 Blackberry devices to BB10s, or look at other devices. Either some direction to solve this ActiveSync problem, or a likely date for BBCS to be BES10 would be helpful.

My user with a Q10 has had this same issue with our Office 365 account. Seems to work fine for a few days then randomly stops getting new email. Go in and reenter his Office 365 password and all is well again... for a few days when it seems to lose it again.
We have about 15 iPhone's of various flavor and 3 Android HTC One's with no issues on O365.

Hi,
Do you have any specific questions? We'll certainly try to help you, but we won't do your homework for you. That wouldn't help you learn at all.
I recommend looking over the learning materials here, they're quite good for getting started with PowerShell:

CodeTwo Backup for Office 365 - local backup and recovery of mailboxes

Yesterday wasn't a great day for Office 365: http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1069483-today-was-not-a-good-day-to-migrate-our-senior-managem...Luckily, downtime is a rare occurrence in the Office 365 world. But as an Office 365 admin you have other forces working against you – mailbox size limits, reckless users, scarce licenses, regulations requiring local storage of documents… Am I forgetting something?That’s why CodeTwo developed an offline backup tool for Office 365 mailboxes. CodeTwo Backup for Office 365 lets you download your users’ data to a local drive, preview backed up items in full detail and restore mailboxes, folders and single items – current or previous versions.Here’s a video overview of the application:

I don't suspect a problem with your approach, but if you don't mind overkill, this would be very safe::
uninstall dirsync, delete the db
extend the schema
reinstall dirsync (get the newest version) and let it
soft-match everyone.
Your specific questions (I have not tested the below, but assume it to be true):
>>AD schema extension will not break our Office 365 production
environment
I don't believe the dirsync installer makes any decisions based on the AD schema definition. I'd think you will need to do a FULL SYNC (reg
key) once you're done. with the extension, but this doesn't break users.
>>new attributes will sync to the office 365 environment with a null value (by default)
I don't think this will happen. The absence of the attributes today would be similar to "null".

PowerShell for Office 365 is here – here's how to use it

After announcing its intention to release new scripts and commands to better integrate PowerShell with Office 365,Microsoft has followed through.The newly ordained PowerShell for Office 365 features the same command-line interface found in PowerShell 5.0 – and that's because it is the same program.According to The Register, Microsoft has created "ascript libraryto help you do things like add users, control licenses, and stop people from recording Skype meetings."Before you start using it, however, you have to "import the modules corresponding to all the bits of Office 365 you want to administer, including the Microsoft Online Services Sign-in Assistant and the Azure Active Directory Module to handle the important matters of security and authentication."The widespread use of PowerShell and its necessity for sysadmins and network admins...

Hi, almightywiz,
Sorry for the delayed response. I was away from office for one day and did not have access to the files.
And you are right, column 11 is text and column 26 is date (i.e., numeric). And indeed, those visually blank cell in column 11 are not null but have zero length. Java can tell the difference but not by visually inspecting the cells in the spreadsheet.
I also checked the POI API documents, and found that org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Cell interface, which has those cell types, is implemented by both HSSFCell and XSSFCell. The question is under what condition the cell type of a cell becomes Cell.CELL_TYPE_BLANK.
While that is not yet clear, I will catch cells missing data in column 11 by checking three things: first check if(cell == null), then if(cell.getCellType() != Cell.CELL_TYPE_STRING), and then if(cell.getStringCellValue().length() == 0). And that solves my problem.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and solving my problem.
I have another problem that may more serious, at Can I process Excel BIFF5 files, or simply abandon Apache POI? It would be very much appreciated if you had time to look at it.
Best regards,
Newman

"project pro for office 365

I was eagerly looking for a project management software and fortunately came across your office project pro 365 product
While looking up on the website office, I had some questions rising concerning
the “project pro for office 365” – 25 dollars/per user/ per month option
It is mentioned that it can be installed on up to 5 pcs.
Here are some questions I would like you to answer to help my purchase. (FYI I am planning to share this software with a team of 5 people)
Does that mean that if I pay 25 dollars, me and my other 4 team mates will have equal access and manipulation of the software(insert/edit)?
Or is it only one person getting some sort of ID and password that give access to Cloud and other 4 people just having the right to view the files(such as Gantt chart etc.)
I was informed that if I go with this option I will have to take
“project online” to have a cloud subscription(extra 33dollars). Is that correct?
If a get an ID and Password, will it be on a single designated PC or doesn’t it matter far as it is among the 5 pcs where the software is installed?
Do you have any other options to recommend considering we are a group of 5 people and want at least 2 people to have the right to have access to the software and be able to write or edit while the other 3 members can view the
shared files of charts?
Thank you for your answer in advance!

However, to answer the questions...
1. That is upto 5 PCs for a single user, not spread across multiple users.
2. One user gets one ID.
3. No, Project Online is a separate product.
4. It doesn't matter. You can log into one of 5 PCs and install Project Pro for 0365. If you no longer have access to a PC, you can "de-activate" it using the web, and then install on another.
5. Buy 5 licences.

Certificates for Office 365 Hybrid Exchange 2010 Exchange Online v15

Certificates for Office 365 Hybrid Exchange 2010 Exchange Online v15
We need to set up a hybrid server to allow us to begin moving mailboxes to Exchange Online. We created a new Server 2012 R2 server with Exchange 2013 SP1 to act as our Hybrid server. Reading the literature leaves me with questions about what
certificates I need. My understanding is that the certificates in play on the on-premise Exchange 2010 servers don't need to be changed.
I've looked at the TechNet article "Certificate requirements for hybrid deployments"
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh563848(v=exchg.150).aspx
Certificate requirements for the new Exchange 2013 SP1 server are still unclear to me, I think the new server needs a SAN certificate with:
Hybridserver.domain.edu
autodiscover.domain.edu
EWS.domain.edu
Can anyone clarify?

Cert is required only if you want to deploy ADFS for SSO.
Otherwise you can use your existing Cert for all the Services

SP 2013 Client Object Model: What credentials to use for Office 365 and sites behind ADFS 3.0?

I'm using the SharePoint 2013 Client Object Model to access a site that is either in Office 365 or behind an ADFS 3.0 login screen, is it sufficient to use the new SharePointOnlineCredentials credentials
or do I need other types of credentials for the sites behind ADFS 3.0 ? Is so, what type of credentials would I use for the sites behind ADFS 3.0?
using (ClientContext ctx = new ClientContext(siteUrl))
ctx.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials("some user", "a secure string password");
while (ctx.HasPendingRequest)
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
// etc.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to know the ways to get credential either in Office 365 or sites behind ADFS 3.0.
For Office 365, you can use SharePointOnlineCredentials Object to get credential. For SharePoint sites behind ADFS 3.0, you can use NetworkCredential Object:
ctx.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(UserName, Password, Domain);
The link below will provide more information about using the ADFS FedAuth Token programmatically through the SharePoint Client Object Model:

The APIs at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/powerbi/dn874029.aspx only
seem to work for the new Power BI and not Power BI for Office 365. Am I correct in saying this?
Can I find an API for Power BI for Office 365?
