Office 2013 (local) vs. Office 365 (cloud)

For the moment we are primarily interested in using the main Office 2103 apps from the user Desktops. (We do not want users to even store documents on the cloud)
1. Is there a URL indicating the feature differences between local and cloud Office 2013?
2. If we install the suite locally and Microsoft updates the cloud based version, I presume our local verisons will
not be updated automatically. Is that correct?
TIA,
edm2

FWIW, Office 365 desktop applications are Office 2013 and are installed locally, on your desktop, just like every other previous version. Storing documents in the cloud is optional with all versions of office, either subscription or the perpetual license
version.
1. Which office suite are you looking at? The subscription is office pro plus. See http://products.office.com/en-us/buy/compare-microsoft-office-products for the non-subscription offers. Also, the perpetual license doesn't get a license for ipad/android
tablets.
2. You'll be able to install updates as you do now using windows updates, but the updates may not be available for days or weeks after the click to run versions. (So far this isn't happening, but it could in the future.)

Since Office 365 is a Microsoft product and not an Apple product, it doubtful you'll get an answer here. Suggest you post in a M$ Office 365 forum, like this one http://support.microsoft.com/ph/15834/en Google for others.

Office 365 cloud to federated

We currently have a full cloud deployment but would like to convert to a federated deployment. Is there some documentation on this process somewhere or is it even possible? Tips? Best practices etc?

Hi,
this forum is for the Office Client software, your question seems related to the hosted/cloud aspects, and these other resources should be helpful for you:

Error occurred querying a data source in office 365.

I have created a simple infopath form and in one of my dropdown box i am receiving the REST services.
when i run the infopath form 2013 in preview it was running good but when i upload it on to office 365 cloud it's showing me error. i had converted the services into UDL and save it on Data connection Library and it's approved.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got error when querying a data source in office 365.
Per my knowleadge, we cannot connect to SharePoint Web Services from InfoPath Forms within SharePoint Online.
Loopback protection is enabled on the SharePoint Online environment and will block calls to SOAP and REST from InfoPath Form Services.
For more information, you can refer to:
Error message when you connect an InfoPath form to a SharePoint Online web service: "An error occurred while connecting to a Web Service"
As a workaround, to look up data for some dropdowns from several external REST Web Services, we need to have a Data Connection library in your Site Collection in which to store the UDCX files.
The steps seem to be:
Create a Data Connection Library in your Site Collection
In the InfoPath ribbon, go to Data, then Data Connections. Your existing data connections should be listed.
Choose the data connection which is hosted on a different domain.
Clink the
Convert to Connection File… button
In the location selector, specify the path to the Data Connection Library you created above.
Leave the
Relative to site collection (recommended) radio button selected.
Click OK

Exchange 2007 to Office 365.

Hello,
We're upgrading our Exchange 2007 to Office 365. We can't store a small portion of our emails in office 365 (cloud) due to contract obligations that says storing data outside of the UK is not allowed.
I can see there is a way to create a pst on a network location to store this small portion of data but when my pc is away from the office network, i receive an error saying it can't find the PST. Is there a way to stop the error appearing? I only want the pst folder to appear if they are on the office network? Or do you have a different solution i mind to solve our problem?
Thanks

SSIS Email Task Office 365

Hello
We use office 365 cloud solution emails but I need to send an email from SSIS. I enter the SMTP no problem, but my connection is not windows authenticated. Is there a way to manually enter your details?
Because when it runs it fails due to authentication. I am using SQL Server 2010
Regards,
Richard Baker

Hi Richard,
The SMTP Task in SSIS only supports Windows Authentication and the port number cannot be changed. For a SMTP server that uses non-Windows Authentication, we can use SmtpClient Class in Script Task to send the email. To use basic authentication, we can set
the SmtpClient.Credentials Property and specify the user name and password. However, be aware that the password is in clear text in this case. Here is the code snippet for your reference:
SmtpClient mailer = new SmtpClient();
mailer.Host = "mail.smtpserver.com";
mailer.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("UserName", "Password");

Every time I restart my computer, I have to log in to Microsoft Office 365 to use applications

After starting my computer, I have to sign into Microsoft 365 or enter a product key to open up Word documents, Excel sheets or Powerpoint. This is problematic because I don't always have internet wherever I go and thus, don't have access to Office. Help!

Hi
According to your description, you want to work offline with Office 365.
Internet access is required to install and activate all Office 365 plans and to manage your subscription account. Internet connectivity is also required to access Office 365 cloud productivity services, including email, conferencing, IT management, and other
services.
Many Office 365 plans also include the desktop version of Office, for example, Office 365 Small Business Premium and Office 365 Enterprise E3. One of the benefits of having the desktop version of Office applications is that you can work offline and have
the confidence that the next time you connect to the Internet all your work will automatically sync, so you never have to worry about your documents being up to date. Your desktop version of Office is also automatically kept up to date and upgraded when you
connect to the Internet, so you always have the latest tools to help you work.
Compare Office 365 plans.
Office365 supports offline working in a number of ways.
SharePoint Online – Use SharePoint Workspace to synchronise Documents between your local PC and your SharePoint Online Site allowing offline working.
Use Microsoft Office Professional Plus – Subscribe and receive you can install the full install of the Microsoft Office Suite to use on your computer (and up to 4 others which you use) – this includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Onenote, Access, Lync,
SharePoint Workspace & Infopath.

Office 365 - Archiving online mailboxes to PST

Good Afternoon,
We have moved our mailboxes from on premise to Office 365. Before we can delete a user from the online admin centre we need to be able to archive their mailbox to a PST in case we need access to their email in the future.
Any assistance with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards.
Bryan

Hi Bryan,
I think the feathre you need is Inactive mailboxes in Exchange Online. This feathre allows you to keep a terminated employees mailbox on your Office 365 cloud environment even after you have deleted their user account and freed up their licence.

Exchange 2013 Office 365 Hybrid Cloud On-Premise Outlook Connection Problem

Hi Everyone,
We are required to migrate FROM the cloud TO an on-premise Exchange 2013 server. We set up a trial of Office365 and linked our test domain to that account. The test domain mimics our current domain, but ends in .net instead of .org.
We set up a test Exchange 2013 server with a few database servers. Internally, we can connect without issue (Outlook). We mapped our test CAS to face the Internet, and can access what we need without issue. We also set up the Hybrid
configuration on both the Exchange 2013 and Office365 servers. We have validated that DirSync works, and migration can occur up to the cloud and back down to the on-premise server.
Now, here is the issue:
We have our DNS records still pointing to Office365, so when we add an Office365 mailbox to Outlook (internal to the network or outside the network) we see absolutely no issues. We migrated a mailbox today to our on-premise server, but upon doing so,
can no longer connect to, or add, that mailbox to Outlook. When we put this integration in to effect for production, we want to be able to migrate mailboxes on-premise from the cloud, and we want to make sure users can still access their mailboxes. This
also goes for distribution groups, conference rooms, etc.
I see that most suggestions say to change your DNS record to point to the on-premise Exchange server, which is great, but after doing so Office365 accounts experience the same issue as above. We NEED to make sure that when we batch migrate, the users
DO NOT lose connectivity to their accounts. We need both Office365 accounts and Exchange on-premise accounts are accessible internally and externally. As an extra tid-bit, we HAVE configured Outlook Anywhere on Exchange 2013, but see no difference.
Any thoughts on this? Office365 and Exchange 2013 see eachother and recognize that the hybrid environment is set up good, but it appears we are missing some configurations. Currently, we have a CNAME record points our autodiscover to autodiscover.outlook.com.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks!
Dan

Hi,
Here is an article on Move mailboxes between on-premises and Exchange Online organizations in 2013 hybrid deployments, for your reference:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj906432(v=exchg.150).aspx
I want to make sure OWA works well with the moved mailbox.
To use CNAME based autodiscover method, we need to have all domain names present in a SAN certificate.
With Exchange 2013 CU1, we now have the option of adding multiple SMTP domains to Exchange Federation/Hybrid configuration and we can specify which of these domains should act the "autodiscover" domain.
To configure an SMTP domain as the autodiscover domain, you can run following command:
Set-HybridConfiguration -Domains "domain1.com, domain2.com, domain3.com", "autod:domain.com"

Stream 7 - Reinstall local Office 2013 from Office 365 subscription

Ok, I signed up for my free year of 365 3-4 weeks ago. Doing so resulted in downloading the desktop Office 2013 for a local install.
Takes up a lot of valulable space, and there are a few Office apps I rarely use (Access, etc.) Mostly Word, Excel and PP.
So, I'd like to remove the apps I don't use, but in the case I want to use them later - how do I reinstall them? The download occurred "automagically" as a result of the Office 365 subscription/signup process - I have no D/L to reinstall. Nor, do I believe, do I have a key to take an existing install and install and activate.
So - how can I D/L and install later? And possibly determine just what my key is for that day?

Due to limited storage, the installation folder/files is not downloaded into the device. The only way you can reinstall the MS Office is by doing recovery but will wipe out your data. After recovery you need to use the same account you used the fisrt time you registered your Office.
Hope this helps.

Local hosted exchange (2013) to Full Online Office 365 for School District : Pointers for migration appreciated!

Good afternoon all,
The school district I manage is currently using locally hosted exchange server(s) for mail. (Server 2012 box that has Exchange 2013, and an older Server 2008 box that has Exchange 2010)
We are wanting to make the migration to full online Office 365. We're talking about 450-500 mailboxes maximum.
In order to do this as seamlessly as possible, I need some help.
Any of you pros that have any gotchas/recommendations/best practices or walk-thrus for this i'm all ears.
Thanks so much, i really appreciate any help that can be given on this.

Vasil, thank you very much for this...it really helps a lot. One question for you, and i hope i'm understanding this correctly. In our school district, we have 2000+ students, and 350~ faculty. We will still be locally managing our users (who will
be tied to email addresses that will then be hosted in office 365) through local active directory. Will this be a problem? The only reason I ask this is because of reading this: Do you want to manage user accounts in your on-premises organization? No (listed
for cutover) We will keep our user account management (if that's what this is talking about) local on the DCs that are on our domain through ADUC. Is this what it's talking about, or is it talking about managing their email addresses? Maybe i'm making this
more difficult than it is... thanks for all the help!

How to make sure Office 365 (2013) Pro Plus click to run updates after it is installed on a computer

We are getting ready to move from Office 2010 MSI to Office 365 (2013) click to run ProPlus. Everything is ready to uninstall and install the new product.
My question is if the Updates Enabled="TRUE" is not in the configuration.xml file will machines with the click to run office 365 pull updates from the cloud? I had been told that the Enabled=TRUE is not needed in the configuration file as
it is a default setting. We want our machines to pull down updates from the cloud in place of providing a manual update location on our network.
Our configuration.xml file looks like this:
<Configuration>
    <Add SourcePath="\\Server\Share" OfficeClientEdition="32" ForceDowngrade="TRUE" >
    <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
      <Language ID="en-us" />

I am trying more to control the process via GPO with a start-up script and have created a batch file which executes the below command. It works and installs which ever version you define in your .xml file, the only issue i am facing is that re-runs the setup
at each reboot which isn't ideal. I am currently working on below script which could check the version of the office upon boot-up and only run if the specific version is not available. I have pasted the script right at the bottom of the page and if anyone
could shed some light in making it to read the version value
"\\server\c2r\Office365 update\setup.exe" /configure "\\server\c2r\Office365 update\Customconfign.xml" (this is the batch-file used as a startup script)
PLEASE NOTE: There are three <Add SourcePath in my Cutomconfig.xml and not all three are required I use the one i need by taking the  from the beginning and the end of each line
<Configuration>
 Can only be used to download latest version of ofice365 (specify sourcepath)

Need assistance creating applications with superseedence to uninstall Office 2010, Lync 2010 and then install Office 365 click to run 2013

We are getting ready in a few months to uninstall our locally installed Office 2010 and head to the cloud with Office 365 2013. I have created applications to uninstall Office 2010 and Lync 2010 and then added them to the supersedence tab for Office 365
office 2013 click to run with appv5.
When deploying the office 365 2013 application it does not uninstall office 2010 or lync 2010 with the supersedence. I am able to manually uninstall Office 2010 and Lync 2010 with the command lines I am using in the applications.
The application uninstall for Office 2010 is:
The application uninstall is an exe so I created an application, created a deployment type with the location of our Office 2010 admin point, installation program and uninstall program are set with the same line as I have tried to deploy it separately and
also as a supersedence in the Office 365 application setup.exe /uninstall ProPlus /config "\\sccmserver\share\Office2010\ProPlus.ww\silentuninstallconfig.xml. The silentuninstallconfig.xml was created from the original config.xml file and edited
to these settings:<Configuration Product="ProPlus">
<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="NO" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />
<Setting Id="Reboot" Value="Never" />
<Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="NEVER" />
<OptionState Id="ProductFiles" State="Local" Children="force" />
</Configuration>
The detection method is the folder path to see that office 14 exists. When I deploy this the machines finish with success showing this exists, but does not uninstall Office 2010.
running the command line manually mapped to this location on a machine uninstalls office 2010 without issue.
Lync 2010 uninstall:
Lync is an exe so I am using the LyncSetup.exe /silent /uninstall. The application is in the supersedence tab for Office 365 2013. This never installs. If I create a softare distribution and deploy it on its own it uninstalls without issue.
We are going to use Lync 2013 with our office 365 2013 installation so we need to uninstall this. The detection method for lync is file system folder and the Microsoft lync folder for detection.
MS Office 15 (Office 365) was created with the click to run tool. I can install this with the application I created using the appv5 package created with the click to run tool. The issue is we need Office 2010 and Lync 2010 uninstalled first.
Having both versions of Office installed in test has caused issues where Office 15 365 will not list in add and remove programs and cannot be uninstalled even with the fix it article to remove office 2013.
I have looked at many articles and so far it is not working for us. Any help appreciated to get us to the cloud.
Thanks,
Brit

The applications I have for uninstall of office 2010 and Lync 2010 for some reason do not uninstall. Manually testing the command lines they do. The detection method seems to be hanging things up. On the lync uninstall detection method I have
the setting type of file system, type folder, path c:\program files\ folder name Microsoft Lync.
I highly recommend using something other than a file/folder "exists" detection method. Installers are constantly leaving things behind due to environmental inconsistencies. It may leave files/folders behind with a schedule to delete files on next reboot.
These things are unpredictable and very hard to use. I just use the "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" Registry location. There you can actually key off the "Product Version" DWORD as well which gives you an even more accurate method
to determine if the application you are trying to deploy (or expect to exist) is truly there. This, of course, being if you are not using an MSI. If you have MSI technology ALWAYS use the product code unless the person writing the MSI chooses to use the same
product code for every version release of their product. In which case, Use the registry method.
As far as getting the supersedence and everything working. You need to start from the basics. Create Applications for all of the apps you want to remove. Make sure they install and uninstall properly (seems like overkill but it isn't that hard). Once you
have working install/uninstall applications then you can easily apply supersedence to your new applications with a setting of Uninstall on the superseded apps you should have no problem getting rid of them. I have done this for numerous things.
For example, I did this with Cisco Jabber to replace older versions of jabber, older versions of cisco unified personal communicator and lync and OSC. All of these replaced versions had to have an Application but once it was in it took two seconds to apply
all the supersedence rules and now I know when I push that software out no matter version is running on any machine it will pull all the old apps off and put the new one on.
