Office 365 ability for a specific setup - advice please

I have a client, that has 1 main company with 2 areas HM is the main company HC is the secondary company which is part of HM
All of the staff work for HM and HC, and have roles within both... but to clients have a slightly different outward appearance
I have managed to sell the idea of Office 365 to them as they are a small company (one company)
They have 2 domains HM.com and HC.com all of the work towards the HM division go to HM and from HM, and all of the work to the HC area go to and from HC.
This is where the difficulty sets in.
I have sold the idea of a hosted exchange setup as they have used Exchange in the past and see the immense value... but as a small company and SBS no longer available Office 365 is clearly the way to go.
They will definitely be going for a Office E3 plan at £15 a month per user for Office and Exchange (although I do wonder can we combine E3 and Business Premium as not all users require Access?)
Now this will be to the main company of HM as that is the primary company.
The second division of the company HC do need email too though. Now I know I can tie multiple domains into the 1 Exchange email account
So all emails to HP.com and HC.com would be received the 1 user mailbox
However it is the sending from that is important.... can it be set up so;
1. if they reply to an email received to HC it will be from HC (i.e. so the customers don't see their email to HC coming from HM)
2. If they do a new email can they chose to send from HC instead of HM (HM would be the typical default)
If this set up is possible can anyone forward me to a guide as I would like to test or advise
Or would they need to do an Office 365 E3 for HM
and then a hosted Exchange plan from Microsoft for HC
Any help would b gratefully appreciated
thanks

My experience Windows Server with Exchange 2003, 2008 & 2011. Now, I first time this Office 365 exchange for business & non-profit. I never seen this.
Help me, Where I can find the "Domain email (non-mailbox) Auto-Forward email to domain email (mailbox) or also external email"
Thanks for your help

You can nicely do this with Distribution Group or by Transport Rules. Distribution Group will be maybe the easy way.
You can referer to article Create and use distribution groups.
Basically, you create DL with address [email protected] and allow to receive e-mail from external sources. Then you add [email protected] as member of this group.
If you want also sent e-mails from this DL, you can use PowerShell to set rights for it.

How to create a private forum in Office 365 SharePoint for customers?

Hi,
I am implementing a SharePoint Office 365 solution for a client but one of their requirements is sharing regularly updated info with only 20 customers. The idea is to share info with just the customers in a private forum basically to receive feedback, comments
and emails. What is the best approach to this?
Thanks,

Hello Aslr12,
Based on these requirements I would just create a new site collection within SharePoint online service of your Office 365 tenant, based on the community site template. This template has some nice web parts like the Discussion list and some Community tools.

Office 365 downgrade for Office 2010 Product Key

Hi,
I just would like to inquire if it is possible to downgrade the Office 365 that was purchased from a vendor. The vendor specifically assured us that there would be product keys that would be given and we would be able to use it in on our existing Office
2010 products. But unfortunately, it does not work.
The vendor is no longer answering our calls, emails text messages, etc after he has received the payment for the Office 365.
We are located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Who is that vendor? What did they tell you in detail?
In this forum we mainly discuss technical questions about Office products, for the purchase and activation questions, I suggest you contact your local customer service.
You should be able to find your local customer service number from this link:

Managing Office 365 Components for a large enterprise using Active Directory

Opening Office 365 to a large enterprise (7000 users) implies some controls be placed around who can subscribe to what and which Add-Ons a user might have/need/desire access to.
To place these controls around, for example, licensing Project Online to individual users, we are proposing creation of Active Directory groups for each add-on and use powershell or other method to read the AD FS user groups, then flip the bit on the O365
user profile for that member to allow them to select the Add-On.
At any point in time, our Asset Management team can use the AD group to determine licensing distribution and chargeback to internal cost centers.
Does this seem like a viable approach?
Any other approaches that have worked?

John,
After your users and home profile paths are created in AD - have your tried running the createhomedir command from Terminal? Assuming your AD plugin settings are correct on your server - specifically the 'Use UNC path...' - try running the command (in Terminal) below on your document (home folder) server:
sudo createhomedir -s
This command should query your server's search path (check the path using Directory Utility - located in /SystemLibrary/CoreServices) and find any users (preferably your AD network accounts - that's the -s option) that should have home folders on that server and create them. Note that this command nust be run as root - hence the sudo
To test - try creating a new AD user and point their profile to your Mac sharepoint - then run the command. You could also run the command on your Mac server to create an account for just the new user - just add their name at the end of the command above:
sudo createhomedir -s newusername
Hopefully one of these suggestions will work for you...

Do I need to purchase Office 365 A3 plan for faculty to get free Office 365 ProPlus for students in Office 365?

Hi there
Our school has A2 plan for both students and faculty. We recently contacted our reseller and placed an order for free Office 365 ProPlus A for our students. We received an acknowledgement from Microsoft regarding this order saying that it was successfull
and I can see the license added when I log into the VLSC website. Problem is, I can't see this licence listed when I log into Office 365 admin. It is not listed under subscriptions or licenses. Apologize for my ignorance, but I don't know how can I get this
license added in Office 365 so that our students can start using editable versions of office apps on their IPADs. Do we need to purchase Office 365 A3 plan for our staff to get this student's license enabled in Office 365? Can somebody please help?

I have similar questions concerning getting started with the Student Advantage program offering.
I've read the blog posts and made as many as 5 calls to Office 365 and still do not understand how to get this going.
We have a subscription to Education A2 for both faculty and students that we started in January 2014. We receive this at no charge. So I'm starting with a subscription at no cost. I do not have an Education Reseller because we started our
subscription through the website with a trial and had that converted to the no cost A2 plan.
When I am in the portal and look under 'Purchase Services' I can see the option to add Office ProPlus for Faculty at $2.00/user/month and for Office ProPlus for Students at $1.50/user/month. My understanding of Student Advantage is that if I license
all my faculty/staff accounts for Office ProPlus I would then get the Student access at no charge. So I've licensed the Office ProPlus for Faculty for all of our faculty accounts yet I cannot get a clear answer about how to get the Student accounts added
at no cost.
I most recently was told by Office 365 support that I needed to speak to a reseller, which I did today. He told me that I would need to do one of two things.
1. Upgrade my no cost A2 faculty accounts to A3. Which for me and what I see in the portal would take them from $0 to $4.50/user/month. With that A3 for faculty I would get the Office ProPlus for the Students accounts on A2 at no charge.
2. I would need an Open Value license covering all school FTEs for Office at a cost of about $29/user/year.
Both of these options are higher than licensing all Faculty accounts for Office ProPlus via the portal at $2/user/month which I have already done.
So I don't understand why that doesn't qualify us for Student Advantage and now have to license all FTE, most of whom don't even touch a computer, for Office.

Report all activations of Office 365 ProPlus for all users

Hello:
I know that I can open my Office 365 Settings, Software, and see how many devices I have activated Office 365 Pro-plus on.
What I am looking for is a way for an Admin to run a Powershell script (or command) to retrieve the activations for ALL users in a tenant.
Thanks
Tim

Hi Tim,
As far as I know, this is not possible. We can use Get-msoluser command to get the license status. But we can’t get details of all users’ activated computer name list for the Office 365 tenant with a Powershell script.
By the way, this forum focuses on questions and feedback for Microsoft Office Client. There is not so much about Office 365
console/hosted/cloud aspects here. For your case, I would suggest you to post in the forum of Office 365 Community, where you can get more experienced responses:

Office 365 support for KMS

Hi,
Does Office 365 support KMS and/or will there be added support for this in the future? I know this is not
supported if your read the TechNet article; http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624357.aspx.
However I want to ask if anyone knows otherwise.
Marius A. Skovli | MCP/MCTS/MCITP | Twitter: @mariusskovli

Hi,
Office 365 don’t support Volume Activation (KMS/MAK).
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office-365-enterprise-value-service-description.aspx#bkmk_VolumeActivation
Note:
Volume activation for Office 365 Enterprise E3, Office 365 Enterprise E4, and Office 365 ProPlus are limited to installations on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 and newer with the RDS role enabled or Windows To Go installations. In either
case, users accessing these installations need to be licensed users of Office 365 Enterprise E3, Office 365 Enterprise E4, or Office 365 ProPlus.
As the admin for your organization, you can
set up Office 365 for everyone in your organization. This is an example of Office 365 Small Business admin.

Looking for a web font - advice please

Hi, I know this isn't a DW question, but I'm hoping somebody might be able to guide me.
I'm looking for a font (preferably on google fonts) that resembles Edwardian Script. If anybody knows off the top of their head a font that is similar, could you advise me please?
Thanks.

Most hobbyists and bloggers sites could probably fly under the radar with unlicensed fonts. But commercial web sites could be in for a whole heap of litigation woes. It's not worth the risk for something so trivial.
Please cite a case where a commercial website was sued for violating the fonts license? In UK Harrods tried to sue a coffee shop for using Harrods fonts and they lost with heavy legal costs. Fonts can never be patented and people are free to use whenever they can.
Some bully boys will try anything but people have to stand for their rights. I am currently in dispute with easy Jet because I have registered one website with name like easy XXXXX. Now they tried to bully me for using the word easy and I challenged them to sue me. Their solicitors wrote to me and intimidating me and I won the first round. They are appealing and so the case continues. The court has decided that I should not promote the website until the appeal is heard but in the meantime, I have notified easy jet the revenue I am losing because of this restrictions. The court is aware of this and if I win the case, I shall be entitled to millions of pounds in compensation due to lost revenues.

Condenser mic for voice recording - setup advice ??

Hi All,
Newbie to GB. Want to setup my condenser mic (3.5mm) to record voice tracks. The condenser mic was purchased with a HD Camcorder and works great for video. Currently the mic works through the "line-in" but at very low level. Done a little research and Hangtime recommends the use of a USB interface.
http://www.thehangtime.com/gb/gbfaq2.html#recordlinein
(thanks hangtime).
I'm now looking at the griffin imic as an inexpensive solution. Before I drop my $$ on this guy, is this the best solution. (or will it do the job right??)
Feedback appreciated.

My advice would be the same as CD's. If you have a Line-In, for the same price as an iMic you could get a small mixer like the Behringer UB502 Eurorack Mixer for about $38, add a 1/8" to 1/4" adaptor, and you'll have much better control than with the iMic alone.

[Exchange-Online][EWS][Android]Is it possible to reach Exchange room resource mailbox through Office 365 API for Java/Android

Hi guys,
Title covers largely what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to create an app in Android Studio that uses the Office365 for Android API (https://github.com/OfficeDev/O365-Android-Start).
In this app i want to bind calander events to Locations that i create in Exchange online. Is this possible? If so, how? Have not been succesful in finding in any information on the issue so far.
At the moment when the user wants to create an event, the user just types in the "location", but this is just a string and not bound to anything. I would prefer to get a dropdown of all the room resources I have on Exchange and that this will make
that the location. This to prevent 2 seperate meetings happening in the same room at the same time.
(Was sent here from the O365-forums, so sorry if this is a misplaced post)
Thanks for any and all help.
Mathias

So then I'm guessing you want to be able to retrieve the list of resources in the address book? If the Exchange admins have configured room lists, you could use those:

Using Office 365 SDK for Android and IOS

Hi,
is it possible to to use the SDK's in offline mode?
I would like to add to my app a functionality of editing office files (such as word, power-point and excel),
and i want this functionality to work without internet connection. no problem that the first log-in will be in online mode.
is it possible using the office365 SDK?
if not, what other solution does microsoft provide me?
Thanks!
yarin

You can easy modify the data in word or power-point files since they are now XML (plain text) files.
As for opening files? It not clear how you need/want to open such files, but there is a version of office for iOS and for Android that allows you to open such files. I would assume that any SDK for such platforms has some means to “launch” a given file that
will use a given application, but that’s a question beyond this newsgroup (try the iOS and Android forums).
So you can certainly write code to modify and manipulate office files (since they are plane txt XML now – the only excepton to this is ms-Access! – not available nor is data stored as XML).
And you can certainly install the free edition of office on iOS or Android.
I don’t know if the iOS or Android development tools allows one to launch any file on the device, but I would certainly think such a feature exists.
And it not clear why you are posting in "Access", which is a database product as part of the office suite.

Backup Solution For This Specific Setup

I've been thinking about how I'm going to backup my setup but I'm sort of stuck.
My setup: 2 Drives
80GB Intel SSD - boot disk, dual boots Windows 7 and ArchLinux
500GB HDD - only for files, not going to be of any concern
Here's the fdisk -l for the SSD (/dev/sdb)
Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes, 156301488 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x9b9dcc69
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 2048 206847 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sdb2 206848 103811071 51802112 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sdb3 104015872 156301311 26142720 83 Linux
/dev/sdb4 103811072 104015871 102400 83 Linux
Here's what I'd like: If the SSD fails, I'd like to be able to have an exact clone bootable USB HDD ready to use (so it must be able to dual boot). Basically, I'd like to minimize down time as much as possible. Then I'd like to be able to transfer everything again to a new SSD.
I understand that I can use rsync for backups: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fu … with_rsync but I'm not sure how to adjust it for dual booting. Should I be cloning with dd instead? From what I've read dd will copy everything including the partition table of the old one so that might not be a good idea if I'm planning to move the whole thing to a new SSD?
Appreciate any input!
Last edited by devrepublic (2013-02-22 01:32:15)

Use rsync as it will then only write what has been changed instead of the whole damn thing like dd. There is a wiki page about how to back up your entire system with rsync... you should probably have a look at that.
This of course will work just fine for your Arch Linux, but I don't know enough about windows to be able to recommend a way to do it with that partition. I guess you could dd the partition everyday, but that doesn't seem very practical. I would have to imagine that there is probably some kind of a incremental windows backup solution that you could use, but I don't know.
You will of course then have to have a bootloader installed on the second drive, set up and ready to boot into either system. Then just make sure you are booting the right drive all the time and you're good to go.
Are you implying that you want to back up to the 500GB drive? Or are you saying that you want to use an external?
