Office 2013 KMS Activation Issues When Outlook 2010 Has Been Installed

Hi Everyone,
I have been looking everywhere for the answer to this question. I have been setting up a KMS server host for Office 2013 on Server 2012 R2. The issue I have ran into is that all of our computers currently have Office 2010 installed. Our Office 2013 KMS server
is installed on a different server than the KMS server that activates Office 2010. (Different Virtual Machine) If Office 2010 has been installed the KMS server will not activate with the upgrade to 2013. Troubleshooting below:
1. Leave office 2010 installed and simply click upgrade - did not work.
2. Completly uninstalled Office 2010 and tried ospp.vbs /act and ospp.vbs /act - did not work.
3. Completly uninstalled Office 2013 with all other versions of Office 2010 uninstalled. Did a fresh install of Office 2013 after a reboot and verified working.
Can anyone explain to me either why this is happening as well as a solution. I realize that I have a work around right now but it takes some time.

So, you have 2 KMShosts?
Host_A is KMShost for OFF2010
Host_B is KMShost for OFF2013
Are both hosts published in DNS?
(check with: nslookup -type=any _vlmcs._tcp)
Clients can resolve and connect to both hosts?
Or are you using static KMS location (do you manually configure your KMSclients to a specific hostname or IPaddress)?
Typically, a KMSclient will perform discovery via DNS lookup, and will try each KMShost until success occurs.
Possibly, when you installed WS2012R2, you chose ADBA instead of KMS ? (check the VA role on this server to confirm the mode)
You can check upon the KMShost, execute: cscript slmgr.vbs /dlv all
Another option, might be for you to co-host OFF2010 KMS and OFF2013 KMS upon the same (new WS2012R2) server, and de-commission the old KMShost function including removal of the DNS record for it. (Assuming this is consistent with your plans)

  • Dropdowns and many buttons disabled in PWA 2007 after Microsoft Project Professional 2010 has been installed

    Hi Team,
    I have Microsoft Project professional 2007 installed and also using PWA for 2007.
    I recently installed Microsoft Project Professional 2010, and since the time i installed 2010 all the button in PWA 2007 have been disabled.
    1. I could not select a project from "Project Center"
    2. I could not select resources from "Manage Resources"
    3. I could not select dropdowns in the project properties even if the project is selected.
    ALl the other team members are able to use both without any issues.
    I also uninstalled IE8 browser and re-installed, that didn't help.
    I could use PWA normally after 2010 is uninstalled.
    Please suggest a solution for this.

    Try running a repair on Project Professional 2007. You always have to do this after installing a newer version of project. Always run a repair on the previous version. What's happening is that PWA is not seeing 2007 on your machine because 2010 overwrote
    some of the shared objects.

  • Outlook 2013 on 1012 RDS and Outlook 2010 FAT client font issue

    Our terminal server was changed from a 2008 RDP box with Office 2003 to a 2012 RDS box with office 2013 on it. Now if a user changes a font - or any view setting - on the 2013 copy on the terminal box, their desktop in the office which runs Outlook 2010
    has the 2013 settings. Why and how - if possible - do I make that stop?
    Thanks!

  • Setup Microsoft Office 2013 KMS Host on Windows Server 2008 R2

    Hi all,
    hope someone can help, banging my head against a brick wall here.
    Followed this excellent article here -
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2013/01/03/how-to-setup-microsoft-office-2013-kms-host-on-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx#pi47623=1
    Dont need to install 275817 as its already applied to the server that has the KMS install on it.
    When i get to step 3 and double click the exe from the MSDL site i get the cscript window but nothing happens, the window stays blank and then closes, i never get the prompt to enter the licence key for Office 2013 KMS key.
    Its a Windows server 2008 R2 install, fully patched and rebooted.
    Checked the logs and can find nothing, has anyone seen this or know a fix?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Microsoft Office 2013 Loses Activation after Office Updates

    Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 has been installed and activated on a laptop in my office.  The product clearly states Product Activated under the 'Account' section of MS Office.  Whenever an update related to MS Office is applied in Windows
    Update, the user reports that features in MS Office become disabled and the program ceases to function.  The error message shown was "Trial Period Expired".  I have called MS Support, the Product Key has been validated, the product ID has
    been validated, the MS Fixit "http:\\support.microsoft.com\kb\2739501\en" has been applied and I still have this error.
    Please help.

    Hi eGovJa,
    Have you ever installed the trial version of Office? If yes, please remove it from your PC completely.
    Since this error appeared after installing some updates, you may uninstall this update to check if it’s helpful.
    Please post the detail error message here, I’ll analyze this issue in detail as soon as getting it.
    Best regards,

  • Office 2013 BUG report: undesirable components (and various hijacks) are installed against user's will and cannot be removed

    Installing Office 2013 Pro Plus RTM x64 on a fresh Windows 8 Pro WMC system.
    Used Custom setup procedure to install only the desired software, i.e. unchecking most of the checkboxes.
    After setup, a lot of undesirable software got nevertheless installed although it was specifically UNCHECKED at setup time, e.g. "Office Themes", "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation support", "Compare Diagnostics blahblah" + a bunch of outdated truetype
    fonts.
    No matter how many times we run again the "Change" setup from Windows' "Programs and Features" and uncheck these components, the setup routine does NOT uninstall them, with or without reboot etc. Basically, the Add/Remove function of the setup has NO EFFECT.
    The setup also installs (offering no choice or notice to the users) a lot of undesirable bloatware e.g. some "Office Upload Center", "Spreadsheet Compare" etc. and several tasks (Office 2013 Sync-something stuff) & services & explorer hijacks (a greyed-out
    "Skydrive Pro", what the...) AGAINST the user's will or consent.
    These unwanted apps and hijacks seemingly cannot be uninstalled, not even kept from running and reenabling itself - except if killing the tasks using the Task Manager, then deleting (!) the files from their respective folders, in addition to editing the
    registry to get rid of all this stuff. Of course the crap gets reinstalled/reenabled with any further launch of the office setup...
    Reminds me a lot of bad practices by malicious software. :|
    Office techs and engineers, PLEASE don't promise a customized setup option if it's for it to be snake oil... And don't offer a post-setup "Add/remove" or "Change" routine that has absolutely no effect whatsoever... And don't install unneeded/undesirable
    useless features as tasks and hijacks that cannot be killed or get rid of...
    Or at least please mention explicitely that you know better than users themselves, what they want and need and decide... :)
    As a sidenote, the same issues were present with Office 2010 Pro Plus SP1 - Sharepoint stuff and office themes and all that jazz was already installed even when deliberately left unchecked, and could never be uninstalled afterwards.

    Hi,
    First, I want to confirm with you that whether you install Office via MSI or Click to Run.
    Only volume-licensed versions of Click-to-Run installations can be customized using the Click-to-Run Admin Tool. Retail versions of Click-to-Run, however, do not support the use of the Admin
    Tool or provide any user interface based customizations to the product. These versions, for example, do not allow the user to choose what applications or features to not install or even the location of the installation files. 
    If you used MSI installation, then check to see the steps in the link below:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/install-or-remove-individual-office-programs-and-components-HA010354261.aspx
    Note: We can’t remove Office programs individually after the suite has been installed. You must uninstall Office completely, and then reinstall it using a custom installation.
    Also, here’s a link about Office Customization Tool changes in Office 2010, the
    Office Customization Tool is part of the Setup program and is the primary tool that administrators use to customize an Office 2010 client installation:

    YOu need to reinstall iPhoto.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

    Hi Vikram,
    Thanks for posting your issue,
    You can switch of alerts and set E-Mail Notification to Yes under your Workflow Tasks list > Settings > Advanced Settings. By doing so user specified in AssignedTo will receive e-mail notification when task is created and if task ownership is not changed
    during your workflow this will be the only mail sent by system.
    Since you are already using SharePoint designer you also have option to include Send an Email action in your workflow (after task is created). This option is better if you want to send some specific info to user.
    Also, browse the below mentioned URLs to create workflow step by step

  • How can I check how many times or when an app has been re-downloaded on my iphone

    How can I check how many times or when an app has been re-downloaded on my iphone. I know how to check purchases but I am looking for how to check when an app had been re-downloaded on my device whether it's through my device or Apple ID

    You mention "lack of control" several times.  The control is there - you control the Apple ID and password that owns the app.  No other Apple ID can use the app.  You have not shared your Apple ID or password with anyone, so you and only you own the app.
    Therefore, the number of times the app is downloaded or re-downloaded is completely irrelevant.  You might, for example, decide to purchase a new iPhone or iPad and download the app there.  Or the app developer may issue a new version which you download.  None of this matters regarding your "control" of the app.  All that matters is that you own it and nobody else can use it.

    I read that the CPU is easy to swap out but am sure something goes wrong at a certain point - even if solderedon they make material to absorb the solder, making your work area VERY clean.
    My Question now is this, get an 8 core, then replace with 2 3.7 QUAD CHIPS, what would happen?
    I also noticed that the 8 core Mac Pro is 3.0 when in fact they do have a 3.4 8 core chip, so 2 =16? Or if correct, wouldn't you be able to replace a QUAD CHIP WITH THAT?  I;M SURE THEY ARE UO TO SOMETHING AS 1) WE HAVE SEEN NO AUDIO FPU OR PERHAPS I SHOULD CHECK OUT PC MAKERS WINDOWS machines for Sisoft Sandra "B-E-N-C-H-M-A-R-K-S" -

    Would rather wait and have it done correct than released to early only to have it benchmarked in audio and found to be slower in a few areas- - - the logical part of my brain is wondering what else I would have to swap out as I am sure it would run, and fine for a while, then, poof....
