Office 2013 and RMS restrict permission

Hi,
I want to restrict Access/modify/view access to documents for some users, and I'm able to do this with Word 2010, but not with Word 2013.
When I try to restrict access using "restrict Editing" under file information I got the this error:
"We were not able to find the information Rights Management Template. Please contact your administrator."
Then I use Rights Protected Folder and things worked fine with me as shown below.
And my question is how to use RMS with Office 2013 without the plugin?
Note: Templates are shown in Office 2013 normally and it is updated

Hi AmirMahouk,
Protecting Word 2013 file with RMS templates/manuall permissions is performed in very similar way to Word 2010:
Document cannot be empty (blank)
Go to File > Info > Protect Document > Restrict Access > Restricted Access.
Select "restrict permission to this document"
Provide emails of the users you want to protect documet for in Read or in Change fields. You can choose additional options clicking "More Options" button.

Is it time yet for Microsoft to "Recall" Office 2013 and provide anyone who has a 2013 license a replacement Office 2010 license?

The interface is terrible and can't be changed. Every application in the suite locks up/crashes nearly constantly on any machine it is used on. The activation process is terrible and wastes hours of any support/IT dept's time. From a 'privacy
standpoint', the software is seemingly criminally intrusive. It is clearly a product that should never have been released and is so far from functional that it can't be repaired by any 'service pack', 'hotfix', or 'patch'. It needs to be completely
scrapped.
The only 'redeeming quality' of this software is that the guy who was in charge of creating it is gone from Microsoft. (Unfortunately, he is now President Obama's appointee for running the attempt at repairing the 'healthcare.gov' website...
out of the frying pan... )
When the software is installed using one profile (domain or machine account) and a different profile tries to use the software, it requires 're-activation' - which often fails because the software believes it has been installed multiple times. (This is particularly
frustrating because it has to be installed by an administrative user, but most of the time, the person who 'uses' the software is not the 'administrator' - so it is almost always being 'installed' using one profile and 'used' using another profile).
The necessary intrusion into privacy created by the requirement of a "Microsoft Account" to use the software is seemingly criminal.
The tracking of, and installation of licenses is absolutely ridiculous.
An example:
Many of my clients have many users and many computers (up to 75 or so).
I could create a "Microsoft User Account" for each 'user', but these machines get moved between users, and the software license is tied to the 'machine' and not to the 'user' so as soon as that happens, the licenses and the users are no longer
in line and become impossible to track.
I could create a "Microsoft User Account" for each 'computer'... and I can't even count the ways this would be a nightmare to try to track.
I actually did that up front for one client, and created Exchange email boxes for each computer so that "prove you are really you" emails from Microsoft could be received managed, and responded to, and passed out second usernames and passwords
to all of the users so they could "log-in" to their Office 2013 software, and created a database of the 'computer usernames and passwords' so I could track this... unfortunately, this confused the users (as it rightfully should) so they would change
the passwords for their computer's 'Microsoft User Account' thus locking me out and invalidating my database, ... and... CLUSTERF#%K!!!
As a 'best - worst case', I have had to create a single 'Microsoft User Account" for each of my clients' businesses so I can install and activate Office 2013 products. This is a whole new set of "Awesome Stupidity".
Now, I can put a new computer into a client's office and install their new license key for their oem Office 2013, and it shows up in the 'business's Microsoft User Account'. Then when I give the machine to the user, I get to 're-activate' the software
(hoping that it doesn't tell me to piss-off - which happens about 40% of the time. This is a process that can only be described as a "feat of engineering created by a group of monkeys whose former jobs included 'janitor at MAD magazine headquarters'
or 'beer-pong referee').
It starts with two hours of pressing phone buttons and ultimately talking to someone who tells me "yeah, nothin' I can do about that I'm just here for product activation" (which, incidentally, is done by machine until you pass through MS's ridiculous
labyrinth of repetitious keystroking until the machine is convinced you are just too stupid to punch in the right numbers and allows you to talk to a person... who then asks you for the exact same set of numbers and repeats back the exact same responding set
of numbers and acts dumbfounded when it still doesn't work - since it didn't work the first six times you punched or said it into the phone) followed by "I need to send you to the support group... but because it's 6:30 pm (in a process you started at
3:00pm) they are gone for the day and you'll have to call back on Monday morning"
At some point in the process, you get to log into the "Microsoft user account" and 'roll the roulette wheel of stupidity' by trying to activate the right software from a list of 40 different lines that all say "Microsoft Office 2013 Home and
Business oem", but none give any indicator or differentiating factor like for instance: license key, date installed, license key last 4 digits, mother's maiden name, phase of moon when software was first activated, color or type of blood of the user's
paperboy's dog's previous owner... NOTHING... RANDOM FREAKING STAB IN THE DARK - pick one, any one, hope its the license you are trying to install onto this machine, 'cause if not, you very well may kill the product on some other machine.
So through the process, the lucky support staff person gets' to waste roughly an hour and a half on average for every Microsoft Office 2013 installation. I have actually had to start telling my clients that they are going to likely have to pay an extra
$100 or so per machine in order to get their new Microsoft Office software which comes on their new computer activated - that number tends to work out roughly accurately - except that it is a terrible way of trying to 'please a client'.
Oh,... and did I mention... "THE SOFTWARE CONSISTANTLY FAILS"!?!
A client tries to open a document that they have been using for 8 years and Excel doesn't say "Hey, I don't know how to deal with some element of the file that you put in here using Excel 2003, or Office 2010 (both products, by the way, which worked
great) - no... instead,... it crashes. Doesn't really do any damage to the file it choked on, but the work you'd been doing on three other files which you also had open,... yeah,... that work is gone.
Yeah,.... over time, I have developed a pretty consistent spiel for client's needing new computers that goes over how absolutely terrible Office 2013 is, and explains that our options are further limited by Microsoft's yanking of all Office 2010 or previous
products from market availability, and explaining the merits of both LibreOffice and OpenOffice, as well as their drawbacks. I also have a strangely static response explaining how "larger companies are not burdened by these issues because they are
able to use MOPL which allows them to downgrade their productivity software to Office 2010 so they can continue to function happily, but this is really not a cost effective solution for smaller companies who primarily buy oem Office products with their replacement
computers".
Unfortunately, many clients still decide they want to go with Office 2013 because they apparently believe "it really can't be that bad". The value in my 'presale descriptions' are only really realized when they come back to me a week, two
weeks, or up to a month after the new machine is in place and say "wow,... you were right". The place I am left open for any further problems is when I don't impress upon them beforehand just HOW BAD OFFICE 2013 REALLY IS. In that case,
they still come back to me as though I have done something wrong foe selling them this piece of $#!% software and I have to remind them of our previous discussions.
Strangely, far too few heed the warnings and buy the software anyway - but the discussion has saved many clients the costs of Microsoft Project, because the discussion of LibreOffice and OpenOffice nearly always leads to at least a small philosophical conversation
about 'Open Source Software' in general, and my absolute favorite descriptive analogy in that discussion is to compare Microsoft Project at $600 v. ProjectLibre at $0 - and then further describe the costs of licensing and implementing the associated back-end
server solutions, etc.
This is a saving grace for me, because even though the client has been saddled with Office 2013, they have also saved substantially on Project and it is a rare (but granted, not absolutely absent) occasion that ProjectLibre is lacking some feature or function
that they actually need or want to use - and on those occasions, finding out has cost them absolutely nothing in software purchases.
Its not surprising, I suppose, that clients have grown to accept Office as a required 'cost', but still choke heavily on the price-tag of Project every time they have to buy it. The interesting thing to watch over the coming couple of years will be
'how many businesses stop accepting MS Office as a 'required cost' due to the failing of the software itself and the fact that most are being burned, at least once, by purchasing the software "against technical advice" and are learning, merely by
virtue of HOW BAD Office is, that there are other options out there that both cost less and work better... I mean,... LOTS BETTER.
How many businesses that are used to accepting the cost of Microsoft Office as a cost of doing business will be moved over to open source options and satisfied by them by the time Microsoft releases its next version - which will, presumably work - such that
they will no longer justify the cost of Microsoft's offering even if it is 'superior' to the open source offerings because the open source offerings are plenty sufficient and include a price tag of $0 and an installation/implementation time that is much, much
shorter than Microsoft's offering.
If Microsoft doesn't make some dramatic reparations, and do it soon, I expect their market share will be reduced in this area by a very significant margin.
I am suggesting either a 'Complete Recall' of Office 2013 including an 'uninstall 2013/install 2010' process driven by the automatic update engine, or at the very least, a free and easy downgrade rights offering for anybody who has already purchased 2013
and anyone who purchases it between now and the time the next "functional product" is released.

I understand the inconvenience you are experiencing when working with Office 2013.
If you have any feedback about Office 2013 product, click the and submit to Microsoft.
Microsoft will decide how to fix the problem for all customers.
For the activation mechanism, it intends to protect customers of their rights and interests.
For a retail version of Office, if it was purchased with a disk, Microsoft account is not necessary during the installation.
For volume license of Office, refer to the following link to deploy Office suites can be much efficient:

Unable to edit document from SharePoint 2007 using Office 2013 and IE 11

I am getting the following error when I try to edit a document from SharePoint 2007: "Edit document
requires a Windows Sharepoint services-compatible application and Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater". I am using Windows 7 with Office 2013 and Internet Explorer 11. Troubleshooting steps that I've tried so far (that haven't worked) are as follows:
1) repaired Office; 2) switched from 64 bit version of IE to 32 bit version; 3) moved the owssupp.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\ to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15; 4) tried removing old versions of Office (but
I still need to use Office Communicator 2007 r2 and couldn't figure out how to get rid of the Office14 files from Program Files); and 5) running SharePoint in IE compatibility mode. Please advise...thanks!

Hi,
It seems you installed mixed version Office2007/2010/2013 on your client machine?
I would suggest you remove all Office 2007 and 2010 version, and reinstall Office 2013(include Office Tools->Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support component) on your machine, and make sure "Open SharePointDocuments class" add-on is enabled
from IE11, then check if it could fix the issue.
If above works, please test again after installing the Office Communicator 2007 r2 on your machine.

HELP! Upgrades to Office 2013 and Outlook has lost almost everything!!!!!

I really messed up. I bought an upgrade to Office 2013 and installed it. I had Office 2010. I thought, wrongly, that Microsoft would set up 2013 to use my email account and import my emails and contacts. The results have been disastrous.
I use a Gmail account and have Outlook connected by IMAP to Gmail. I do not have Exchange or POP3. I have Some but not all, probably not even most, of my old emails. I have a lot of empty folders that used to have emails. My
IMAP account to Gmail did get imported, and it tests OK and I have two test messages that appear to work, but no new emails have come through. I checked, there are plenty of new emails in GMail but they have not come through despite several send/receives.
Nothing. Except the two test emails. I don't get this. Can anyone help?
I also did not get any of my contacts. This really sucks.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. We'll try to fix the problem.
Where did you store your old emails? Did you store them in a local pst file or on the server? If you store the emails on the server, please log into your web mail and check if you can see your old emails.
In addition, we can try to create a new mail profile in Control Panel and configure your Gmail account in the new mail profile to check the result. For your information:
To create a new profile:

Office 2013 and SharePoint 2013 server properties - The required term set is not available.

Hi,
After creating new document from ribbon with the new document function on any template the managed metadata based server properties cannot be selected and properties boxes are grayed out. Mouse over displays "The Required term set is not available".
Works fine when using it form resource (SharePoint) domain both with user domain and resource domain accounts.
There is a two-way trust btw domains.
SPNs are done for AppPools.
AppPool accounts have delegations and are set to impersonate with GPO.
SharePoint Web Application is on kerberos authentication.
There is no difference when sites are using user or resource domain AppPool accounts.
The WFE and SQL Server have computer delegations.
Server env: Windows Server 2008 R2 with all updates, SQL Server 2008 R2 with all updates, on-prem SharePoint Server 2013 with no CU.
User env: Windows 7 ENT, IE10 and Office 2013 with all updates.
There is no internet connection and internet connection is not possible. The internet connection is cheated with two DNS A record setting for
www.msftncsi.com and dns.msftncsi.com. Also registry changes "ActiveDnsProbeContent" ip- address for Win7 is done via GPO to private IP. This is done because otherwise check-in/check-out does not work.

Office 2013 and MS Server 2008 R2

I see an increasingly number of people having trouble with office 2012 running on 2008 R2 RDS servers, but i still am yet to find any good solution from Microsoft themselves.
We now have two customers with 2008 R2 RDS servers and Office 2013, where users are reporting that Outlook is slow when opening messages, typing messages, searching in the mailbox and sometimes everything also freezes for a few seconds if they are working
with an Office application. Similar problems are also happening with Word and Excel.
We have tried all the usual tweaks so far:
Ajusting RDP-settings to 16-bit color and no animations.
Disabling hardware acceleration for Office.
Disabling animations reg-key.
The servers are all virtual, running on vmware on some of the latest hardware from dell, so resource-wise there should be no problem. Increasing memory and CPU is not helping at all anyway.
The customer we have that are running RDS on 2012 and 2012 R2 also had this problem, but adjusting the visual effects solved all problems for these. But not for those on 2008 R2.
I am stuck at the moment, and the frustration is rising at my customers. Does anyone actually have anything that solved this problem for them? Or do we actually have to roll back to Office 2010 (where we had no problems)?

Hi,
For Office 2013 there should not be any concerns since it is windows installer based and things will be handled automatically. For the other software you could simply put the session in install mode in every case. For the servers/workstations
where install mode doesn't apply the change user /install and change user /execute will simply fail without any harmful effects.
You may check whether or not the machine is a terminal server using WMI, for example:
wmic /namespace:\\root\CIMV2\TerminalServices PATH Win32_TerminalServiceSetting Get TerminalServerMode
0 = Remote Administration mode (not a RDSH/TS)
1 = Application Server mode (aka RDSH/Terminal server)
-TP
When I run the command from the command line, it works, but when I try it in a "IF" statement, nothing happens. I am I doing something wrong using the wmic code in the IF statement?

Lenovo Yoga with Windows 8 Pro, Office 2013 and Visual Studio

For you developer types, I just wanted to post a message and let you know my experience with Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 as a development machine. I bought Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 from Bestbuy for $999.99. As expected, it came with a crap ton of bloatware installed by Lenovo.
Here is a summary of what I did to it (I take no responsilibity for accuracy of below information. You are on your own if you decide to follow them. I am just putting this down from my memory so that I can look it up in the future if I ever need to do this again).
INITIAL CLEANUP
Installed Lenovo hotfix for partition cleanup/merging: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS033035
Installed Lenovo Touchpad driver fix.
CAUTION: I take no responsibility for below steps. I am writing them from memory and if you decide to follow them and end up making your machine unusable, you are on your own as Lenovo might not honor your warranty.
BACK UP ENTIRE DISK (requires an empty USB flash drive for booting and another external USB drive for backup)
Copied Drivers from D_Backup folder to the external USB hard drive (plugged into USB 3.0 port).
Installed Paragon Backup & Recovery 2012 Free: http://www.paragon-software.com/home/br-free/
Created Paragon Backup & Recovery boot USB flash drive with default Linux recovery environment option (flash drive plugged into USB 2.0 port).
Shutdown Lenovo Yoga.
Plugged in the Paragon Backup & Recovery boot USB flash drive (USB 2.0 port).
Pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS.
In the BIOS, enabled Legacay mode and made Legacy high priority and saved the changes.
The machine booted into Paragon Backup & Recovery mode. From there, made a backup of entire disk to the external USB hard drive.
Shut down the machine, pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS. Turned off Legacy mode and switched back to UEFI boot mode and saved the changes and restarted the machine.
Logged into the machine and verified that everything was good and checked the external USB drive to verify that the backup image was present.
MAKE WINDOWS 8 PRO BOOT USB FLASH DRIVE (requires a second empty USB flash drive and a second computer with Windows 7. This USB Flash Drive has to be between 4GB to 32GB as Windows won't format 64GB flash drives to FAT32 mode)
(Note: I installed Windows 8 Pro in UEFI mode. See http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows-8/a/install-windows-8-usb.htm)
You need a licensed ISO image of Windows 8 Professional Full version (not the upgrade version) from your MSDN or Technet subscription or create an ISO from the Windows 8 Pro full version DVD.
Download Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool on the computer with windows 7.
Plug in the second empty USB flash drive (has to be at least 4GB but less than 32GB) into the computer with Windows 7.
Using Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool and the ISO file, create the Windows 8 Pro bootable USB Flash drive.
Create a new folder on your computer disk, for example, C:\WIN8USB.
Copy all the files from your USB flash drive to the newly created folder (created in the previous step).
Right click on the USB drive icon in Computer window and select “Format…” from the context menu. Make sure you select “FAT32 (Default)” in “File system” drop down menu. Click “Start” and wait till the drive gets formatted. This step is needed because NTFS is not readable by BIOS in UEFI boot mode. During formatting, MBR is preserved so the thumbdrive is still bootable.
Copy all the files from the folder you created earlier (C:\WIN8USB, for example) to the formatted drive. Your Windows 8 installation USB drive is ready to install in UEFI mode.
WIPE THE DISK PARTITIONS
Shut down the machine, pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS, enabled Legacay mode and made Legacy high priority and saved the changes.
Booted into Paragon Backup & Recovery boot USB flash drive again. This time, I deleted all partitions on the primary disk (Disk 0). CAUTION: This WILL wipe your hard disk and will make your machine unusable!!!
Shut down the machine, pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS. Turned off Legacy mode and switched back to UEFI boot mode and saved the changes and shut down the machine.
At this point, the disk is wiped clean. All factory installed software and recovery partitions are gone!!!
INSTALL WINDOWS 8 PRO
Plug in the USB Flash Drive with Windows 8 Pro install files.
Windows 8 Installer would show the unallocated disk space. I can't remember the exact details but either I had to click on Delete or New to delete and then create a new GPT partition. The entire partition was about 119GB.
From that point, follow the Windows 8 Pro installation steps.
After booting up into Windows 8 Pro, plug the external USB drive that had the drivers folder backed up from D_backups.
Install all the drivers from this folder (I was able to install everything except for one Intel fast boot one because of missing partition but my Yoga still boots up just as fast).
Go to device manager to check and everything should be good now.
Run Windows Update.
You should now have about 101GB free on C: drive!!
INSTALL VISUAL STUDIO, SQL SERVER and OFFICE 2013 ON LENOVO YOGA 13
I installed the following in that order:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer edition (I installed all components, everything!). Then I installed latest service pack.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (I installed all components, everything!). Then I installed latest service pack.
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Developer edition(I installed all components, everything!). Then I installed latest service pack.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2012(I installed all components, everything!)
I ran Windows update and also installed Nov 2012 updates of SQL Server Data tools.
I then installed Office 2013 Pro Plus.
MAKE LENOVO YOGA 13 MORE SECURE
Go to Control Panel and enable Windows Defender (it is included by default in Windows 8 and is anti-virus and anti-malware solution)
Enable full hard-disk encryption using BitLocker feature of Windows 8 Pro. Since Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 doesn't have hardware TPM, you have to enable password based option. For this, follow the steps here: http://rics.partners.org/show_article.php?id=274.
Basically, you go to GPEDIT.MSC and Open Computer Configuration => Administrative Templates => Windows Components => BitLocker Drive Encryption => Operating System Drives. From the right pane double-click "Require additional authentication at startup. Select Enabled radio button and check the box for "Allow BitLocker without a compatible TPM...". Click OK and close the policy editor. Then Right-click your C drive in the Computer folder, click Turn on BitLocker. Then select Enter a password instead of USB option. Then provide a strong password (make sure to write it down and put it in a SAFE place, if you lose the password, no one can boot into your hard disk). Then select Save to a file and save it to the External Drive. Select "Encrypt entire drive...", click Next. When this is done, you will get a pop-up on the lower-right a prompt to restart the computer. Restart your PC. Enter the encryption password created earlier. If you are successful in getting into Windows, you're all set.
I also hooked up to Skydrive and used BoxCryptor to encrypt my files in cloud.
The available free disk space should now be about 54GB.
I verified that Lenovo Yoga 13 works like a champ with no slowdown with Visual Studio 2010, Visual Studio 2012 and SQL Server Management Studio open simultaneously and Bitlocker enabled!
The keyboard right SHIFT key is small but other than that, it can work as a great portable development machine and Microsoft Reader is great for reading PDF eBooks.
So if you are a Developer on Microsoft platform, go right ahead. Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is great for running Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 (1600x900 resolution is totally usable) while on the move. Since I have only had this machine for a few days, I can't tell much about the long term reliability.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you for posting this. I am in this exact situation. I purchased a yoga 13, and installed Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone. As it turns out, the Windows Phone Emulator ONLY works in a Windows 8 Pro environment. Since the Yoga doesn't have a disc drive, I shared my W7 computer's cd drive, then put in Windows 8 Pro, so that it could install onto the Yoga. Well, after the installation was done, I tried running my program again and ran into the same issue. It prompted me that my environment must be Windows 8 Pro! I thought that Windows 8 Pro already installed but, what confuses me is that I see no indication that Windows 8 Pro installed. When I go to the System Window, it reads: "Windows 8". Should it read Windows 8 Pro?
Ultimately, I'd like to know, are you able to execute the Windows Phone Emulator? I'm not sure as to whether the Yoga has the hardware capability (needs to be SLAT enabled or something like that?), I HOPE it is able to, and judging by your post, it seems like it but I'd love to know your perspective on my approach.
Please let me know if this makes sense, as I'm new to this kind of thing but really want to start development for Windows Phone.

Office 365, Office 2013 and IaaS

Hello all,
I am planning to use a RDS environment built on AWS with Office 2013 pro plus deployed in it. Office 2013 pro plus would be licensed with a Volume License from a SPLA.
I would like to know if I can subscribe to Office 365 business essentials and then use this Office 365 account from the RDS environment and especially by interconnecting Office 2013 pro plus to it. Would that be MS compliant?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best Regards.

Hi,
You cannot use Office 365 Business Essentials license to connect to Office 365 ProPlus via a Remote Desktop Connection. This is because Office 365 ProPlus does not come with Office 365 Business Essentials.
To use Office 2013 via RDS connection, each user should be assigned with a license for Office 365 ProPlus, Office 365 ProPlus will then contact the Office Licensing Service on the Internet to obtain a licensing token for the user who uses Office 365
ProPlus on the computer and then activate Office 365 ProPlus.
Regards,
Ethan Hua

Office 2013 and the KB3001652 update

I am using a click-to-run version of Office 2013 on my 64-bit Windows 7 SP1 system.
I do not allow Windows to update my system automatically.
Unless there is a good reason to do it more frequently, I use Windows Update every month to update my system manually.
For the last three months (February, March and April 2015), Windows Update has offered KB3001652 (update for Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime) as an important update.
At first, I didn’t know why this update was being offered.
I don’t have Visual Studio 2010 installed. But I later learnt that Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime comes as part of Office 2013, so KB3001652 appears to be a legitimate update for Office 2013.
However, I have still not installed the update.
I have the following queries:
Having installed a click-to-run version of Office 2013, I expected ALL updates to Office 2013 to be done automatically in the background.
In fact, I’m sure I read somewhere that no updates would come through the Windows Update route.
So why has this update come through Windows Update?
Does anyone know whether the KB3001652 update to Office 2013 will eventually be done as an automatic update in the background?
If you inspect the April updates to Office 2013 in support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3050766, the highest numbered individual update is still only KB2965279, so it might be a few months yet before KB3001652 is included (assuming it will be, of course).

Same problem here!. Giving the computer network access allows the control to be populated. Then I disabled and restarted and it seems to be ok....

Office 2013 and Groupwise, Address book issues

Having issues with workstations running Win7 and Office 2013. If you open the mail settings under the control panel only the Outlook address book is listed. Frequent contacts doesn't populate either in Groupwise and no address books are listed as available. Any fixes for this? Groupwise 8 running on NW 6.5

We have the same problem, aparently is related with outlook. When we uninstalled office 2013, the adress book is listed and works properly.

CTR programs (Office 2013) and WSUS

I want to take issue with Microsoft on this inability to update Office 2013 using Windows Server Update Services. We purchase computers with Office 2013 pre-installed which features the click to run (CTR) version. While WSUS can download office 2013 updates
they don't get installed to the client machines. Only way for these systems to stay updated is to allow the update function in the office program.
Whoever designed this feature and ok'd it should be fired. What is an organization supposed to do when they have hundreds or even thousands of computers tying up all the network bandwidth downloading office 2013 updates? I can't believe the designers never
considered this to be a problem in the office environment. I expect to see this SEVERE problem corrected in a future patch.
There's big money for Microsoft to be made with their Office software suite. It is I.T. administrators like myself that influence purchasing decisions. If this problem is not changed, I along with many other administrators will be making every effort to
use alternatives in the future.

And the Click-To-Run version is a cloud-based Software-As-A-Service and is updated by the service provider, not the end user.

Exactly! That is the inherent design of Software-As-A-Service.
What is an organization supposed to do when they have hundreds or even thousands of computers tying up all the network bandwidth downloading office 2013 updates?
You assume that the computer are actually downloading updates.

Trouble with Office 2013 and KMS activation.

I have a KMS server running on Server 2008 R2 that was serving out activations for Windows 7 and Office 2010. I ran the Office 2013 activation
pack on the KMS server and now it also shows our KMS key for Office 15. I realize that I need a minimum of 5 in the count field in order for activations to happen.
We use VMware VDI and I spun up a pool of 10 with Office 2013 installed on the master. Before creating the desktop clones, I rearmed the master and then shut it down, snapped it and created the desktop clones. I have logged onto most of the clones
with a number of different user IDs and when I look at the KMS server it now shows that the count is 9 - so I would assume that my copies are being activated. However, when I look at Office on the VDI clones or on my own personal computer that has 2013
installed I see that the product still needs to be activated.
Yes we have the VL service record in DNS pointing to the right server - it's been there for ages taking care of Windows and Office 2010. I did not have this issue with either of the other products and KMS. I am at a loss as to what
to do next.
Thanx...

check the client-side event logs for the SPP events (request/response), is the client (your pc for example), hitting the expected KMShost, and what response resulted?
Also check the KMShost event logs, is the request from your pc arriving there, and what came in, and went back as a response?
If you're not familiar with how to "decode" the events, check here:

Microsoft Office 2013 and Windows 8.1

I just bought Microsoft Office Home & Business 2013 from Office Depot and tried loading the software from Microsoft's internet site and it will not load onto a new Toshiba Satellite computer I bought last December.
How can I load the software onto my computer?

Hi,
What do you mean by "loading"?
If you need to download Office, just sign in to your account page on Office.com (http://www.office.com/myaccount), choose
Office for Windows from the drop-down menu and click
Install. For more options, choose
Language and install options to change the language and choose between the 32-bit and 64-bit version of Office.
