Office 2013 Keeps Prompting Proxy Authentication

I am using Microsoft Office 2013 behind company proxy. Each time I launch an office application it will keep on prompting me for proxy authentication on the following domains.
this computer is in domain and I am login with domain username and password.

It's actually easy... go to your browser, for me it was Internet Explorer...go to Settings>>Internet
options>>Connections>>LAN settings>>Advanced. Post the following in the space provided below where it says Do
not use proxy...:
officeimg.vo.msecnd.net;
office.microsoft.com;
odc.officeapps.live.com
use a proper separator i.e. ; or , according to your browser needs.

Why do I keeping getting proxy authentication request when trying to read Gmail?

I am behind a Blue Coat proxy, whenever I try to hit gmail or google play, I get a pop-up that request user authentication (moz-proxy). I have seen a number of post on this and tried the fixes. Nothing seems to help. When I tried this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/943488, Step three: network.automatic-ntlm-auth.allow-proxies – FALSE, I was block from hitting any webpage. I have tried opening is SAFE MODE, that did not work. Are there any other solutions?

"IE’ uses windows authentication, and authenticates with proxy server silently behind the scenes. Chrome uses IE’s settings in windows, for proxy settings. Hence the same behavior as IE. But Firefox, tries to do it on its own, that is why it tries to authenticate and find out if you have access to the site.
But, yeah, for your problem, the best way would be to ignore proxy for the site if you know they are already blocked."

Office 2013 keeps asking for updates

Hi guys,
Looked around but can't seem to find anything for this. Have a user on office 2013. Win7. Any time he opens up any office application he has a message saying the software needs updating. If we click OK, we get the message saying we are all up to date. If
we close the application down and open it again, or another office app, the update message is back!
Any way to get rid of this?
Thanks

Is your Office a Click-To-Run version or a MSI (traditional) version?
If it’s a MSI version, please go to Windows Update and check if you have installed all updates for Office. If you have all updates installed, and issue still occurs, please try to repair your Office 2013 from Control Panel.
If it’s a Click-To-Run version of Office 2013, by default, Click-to-Run will automatically check for updates in the background. Please retry the update check by disabling and then re-enabling updates in:
File->Account->Update Options.
Also, if you have specified an UpdatePath in the Configuration.xml while deploying Office 2013, please make sure you have an updated source in that path：http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219426(v=office.15).aspx#BKMK_UpdatesElement
If updates still do not work, follow these steps to do an Online Repair:
1.Go to Control Panel
2.Click Programs and Features tab
3.Click on Microsoft Office, then Change
4.Click on Online Repair
5.Click on Repair

SharePoint 2010 Word, Excel Office Docs keep prompting for Username and Password

Users access SharePoint externally. They have the URL in their IE Intranet zone. They can login and browse OK but when they click a Word, Excel or Office document they get prompted for Windows Username and Password. This works but is never saved, so every
time they try to open a Word Document they get a blank Windows Username and Password prompt.
I have tried every suggestion I can find but nothing works

How do I set the about:config settings for all users? iprism keeps prompting from authentication for users.

When users log on and try to open Firefox 23.0.1, users are prompted with Iprism Authentication. We made changes to the firefox about:config values "network.automatic-ntlm-auth.allow.-non-fqdn" and "Network.negotiate-auth.allow-non-fqdn" to true and it works, but only works on a per user basis. How can we set this up for all users?

I would think the about:config entries discussed are ex-factory set to values each user has to change individually, after the installation has run its course. The solution could be to have patched files ready to install post factum:

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:

Outlook 2013 on Windows 8.1 keeps prompting for username and password.

Hi,
I have a HP Pavillion TouchSmart laptop with MS Windows 8.1 OS. I had installed MS Outlook 2013 Standard. This laptop is joined to the domain like many of my users, however, it keeps prompting for username and password. The emails are still able to send
and receive without any problem.
I have tried to check the connectivity, both cables and wireless are well connected.
I have tried to reinstall the Outlook 2013, but it still occurs.
Attempted to recreate profile but it still occurs.
For the configuration:
I have selected negotiate authentication, and have unchecked the box that states
"Always prompt for login credentials"
Please advise.
Thank you.

Exchange server 2013 proxy authentication

Hi All,
I wanted to know what is the recommended proxy authentication for exchange server 2013.
I have observed the following from different proxy authentications:
1. Negotiate: By default, the proxy authentication is set to negotiate and uses anonymous as Log on network security(un-encrypted MAPI)
2. Basic: It always prompts for the user credentials and uses encrypted MAPI.
3. NTLM: Use negotiate at MAPI level by default
Please provide me some information on different authentication mechanisms and the one which is recommended to use.
Thanks,
Srinivas.

Hi Srinivas,
According to my knowledge, there are my views below:
Basic authentication: If you select this authentication type, Outlook will prompt for username and password
while attempting a connection with Exchange.
NTLM authentication: If you select this authentication type, exchange does not prompt users for a user
name and password. The current Windows user information on the client computer is supplied by the browser through a cryptographic exchange involving hashing with the Web server. If the authentication exchange initially fails to identify the user, the browser
will prompt the user for a Windows user account user name and password. So, when Outlook is trying to connect to Exchange and if the machine is domain joined, there isn’t a need to provide password.
Negotiate authentication: Enabled by default in Exchange 2013. This is a combination of Windows integrated
authentication and Kerberos authentication. If we employ negotiate authentication, exchange will authenticate the client using NTLM authentication type and if unable to verify authenticity, will challenge the client to authenticate using a username and password.
And you could set the authentication type like this:
ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Basic
InternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Ntlm
IISAuthenticationMethods : {Basic, Ntlm, Negotiate}
The command below for your reference:
Get-OutlookAnywhere | Set-OutlookAnywhere -InternalHostname "internalServer.contoso.com" -InternalClientAuthenticationMethod Ntlm -InternalClientsRequireSsl $true -ExternalHostname "externalServer.company.com" -ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod Basic -ExternalClientsRequireSsl $true -IISAuthenticationMethods Negotiate,NTLM,Basic
If you have any further questions, please let me know.
Best regards,
Eric

Windows Updates keeps BREAKING Office 2013, SkyDrive, ETC

Everytime I do the Updates my system and Office 2013 becomes completely unstable.
As a result I only do upgrades every 2 weeks. On Friday, April 24 I sat down to do my 2 week update and had almost 40 updates that had to be done. (goodbye 4 hours of my life)
After the updates, just like clockwork, office, sharepoint and onedrive stopped working. I am going to try to provide as much detail as possible so as to notify Microsost in hopes this stop and in case anyone else has the issues. I will also provide
the steps I took to fix some of the issues.
Note:
I am running Windows 8.1, 64-bit on HP-ENVY 17" touch laptop
I DO NOT have any virus', malware, etc. I have ran MalwareBytes, Windows Defender and Webroot (as I always do before and after updates)
I have office 2013 and subscribe to office 365 for business - I have a license key for Office 2013 but was told somewhere that it conflicts with the click-to-run we are forced to use with 365 so I only do the office 365 version
I do have Sharepoint Designer on my system as I am the administrator of our sharepoint site
I access our sharepoint documents via Windows Explorer
After the updates I have experienced the following
I tried to open a ppt, xls and doc file and nothing would open giving random errors. I then did the control panel --> office click to run --> change --> reinstall everything. I did this and then some of the documents opened fine (goodbye
another hour of my life)
After trying to open a file from my windows explorer in our sharepoint site I get a continuous and recoccuring popup from Microsoft OneDrive for Business that says "Sorry, we can't perform this action. Incompatible Office Products are installed
on your machine. If you have an administrator, please contact them for help." (The last part just makes me laugh because I AM the administrator)
This annoying popup NEVER stops. It keeps popping up every 60 seconds if I close it. I have kiiled the onedrive process, paused the syncing, killed the office click-to-run task. Shut down all office products. Nothing makes this stop except for a full reboot
Please HELP or tell me what to do so that I can once again open my sharepoint files (and all of my employees can do so as well!)

Hi,
"I tried to open a ppt, xls and doc file and nothing would open giving random errors." Could you please provide some of these errors to me? Then I can do some research based on the errors.
Based on your error message, please make sure you have installed this update:
February 10, 2015 update for Office 2013 (KB2920798)
We can also collect some event logs after the issues occur, press Win + R, type "eventvwr" in the blank box, press Enter.
Browse to Windows Logs -> Application, check if there are any logs about the issue.
You can send the logs to our email address, we will then help analyze the information. Please send the logs to this email address below:

Office 2013 upgrade so that users keep individual properties

How do I set up an Office 2013 upgrade msi so that the individual user can keep their current properties? The msi will be sitting in a Skydrive account.
I need to upgrade about 25 remote users to Office 2013. These users are in different locations, mixture if window 7 and 8 machines. All machines are currently running Office 2010.
We are VL holders so I can create a msi file but after running two test upgrades most of the individual user properties (default templates, outlook settings) are not being kept. It looks like a new install.
Any help is appreciated.

I would recommend using USMT 5 for Office 2013.

Exchange 2010 mailbox prompts for authentication to Exchange 2013 mailbox

I am in the process of a 2010 to 2013 migration. The only issue I can't seem to manage is an authentication issue with Outlook 2010. My Outlook profile consists of my Exchange 2013 mailbox and a shared mailbox on Exchange 2010. Initially, Outlook was prompting
for authentication to the Exchange 2010 mailbox. Regardless of whether I entered the correct credentials or simply cancelled the prompt, I still had full access to both mailboxes (including Public Folders on 2010). The authentication prompt was removed with
the following command:
Get-OutlookAnywhere -Server my2013exchserver | Set-OutlookAnywhere -InternalClientsRequireSsl $true
The second issue I now have is the reverse of the above: an Exchange 2010 user is prompted for authentication to an Exchange 2013 mailbox. How do I begin to troubleshoot this problem - should I run the same command (above) on 2010? I don't quite understand
how Outlook communicates with Exchange but I am thinking there is an incorrect setting on one of the Virtual Directories(?).
Many thanks.

Hi Dennis,
Please open Outlook - press CTRL key - right click on the Outlook icon from right bottom corner taskbar –Connection Status to check the connection for your Exchange 2010 mailbox with shared 2013 mailbox. The following example in my test results:
Please check your connection authentication. We can run the following command to set your Outlook Anywhere for Exchange 2013:
Set-OutlookAnywhere -Identity "E15-01\Rpc (Default Web Site)" -InternalClientAuthenticationMethod Ntlm -ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod Basic -ExternalClientsRequireSsl $True -InternalClientsRequireSsl $true
In Outlook side, please ensure the following settings in Account Settings:
In Security tab, make sure Always prompt for logon credentials is unchecked and Logon network security is set to Negotiate Authentication.

Proxy server keeps asking for authentication

My MacOS10.7.3 server coordinates a small subnet of 100 macs. To access the internet as provided by the larger organisation we must go through a proxy server. Unfortunately the proxy server keeps asking for authentication and checking the Remember This Password barely helps. Any tips would be appreciated.

Office 2013 .pub keep getting a conversion failure.

I have 43 pages of .pub from Office 2013 that keep failing conversion in the single conversion and the combine files option.
I purchased this subscription specifically for this task on time sensitive material and I cannot obtain the PDF.

Sara,
Thanks for your reply. I am on OS Windows 8.1 and Office 2013. I am on a server but I also tried converting offline at home. I realize that there are firewall settings in the laptop configuration.
The project is a yearbook for our school so I don't think smaller copies of the file are possible. I'm not exactly sure of how you mean. There are Disney pictures (permissable) on them as well as photographs on most.. The printer was able to successfully PDF the files individually. This is the major project for us and I still want to see if I can get it to work. We have other occassions where we need PDF's and PDF to Office conversions but it is sporadic. We decided on the monthly subscription to handle those sporadic occassions.
I was able to pdf the cover.
My higher level tech support is coming down on Monday and I will pose the firewall questions to them but if you have any other suggestions for me in the meantime I would appreciate it. It doesn't make sense for us to pay for a subscription if it isn't going to work for us.
I appreciate your advice.

Kathy

Multiple proxy authentication prompts

When some particular sites are visited, multiple proxy authentication prompts are received. After canceling these pop-up windows the page can be finalized visited, we have observed that this issue is happening when Adobe Flash player is involved.
This has been an intermittent issue over the last months, however there is a site that can be used to reproduce the problem.
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/accessibility-adobe/preparing-indesign-files-for-accessibility/
Google chrome and IE are not affected

Hi Tylerdowner,
Thanks for your response. I should have mentioned two things, I am already using a recent firefox version (16.0.1) and these authentication prompts are for proxy user and password, these are not related with digital certificates as suggested in the first answer provided.
The problem that we are experiencing it is pretty similar to a well-known behaviour experienced in previous firefox versions. This can be replicated as follow:
0) Start firefox .
1) Open several sites in different tabs.
2) Close firefox selecting "Save and quit"
3) Start firefox again. Multiple authentication prompts (user and password) will be required.
Our current situation is pretty similar but it is happening when some sites with adobe flash player content is visited. For instance when this site is visited [[link text|http://tv.adobe.com/watch/accessibility-adobe/preparing-indesign-files-for-accessibility/ ]] multiple authentication prompts are poped-up
It seems to me (speculating) that adobe flash plugin may be sending a burst of hits through the proxy, as none of them has been previously authenticated, one username/password request is being sent to the browser one for each "hit" that was simultaneously sent through the proxy.
Thanks for your feedback.
