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:

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 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.)

Office 365 Hybrid

Just wanted to ask one question, we are setting up hybrid deployment but we just wanted to run Dirsync and only synchronize some OU's not all our AD, I was told that if we use Dirsync and Password synchronization option that is possible but if we are
going to use Dirsync, ADFS and ADFS proxy (Federation) option then we need to first synchronize the whole AD first, is this true ? If it is true, what is the connection between office 365 and the federation option and what is the relation of this with Dirsync
that says you choose an OU you want to synchronize. We don't mind having a common GAL if that is the condition. User in the cloud may not see users on-premises in the address book.

You can use OU level filtering:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/denotation/archive/2012/11/21/installing-and-configure-dirsync-with-ou-level-filtering-for-office365.aspx
Personally, I have no experience with this. You could use AD FS and AD FS Proxy because Federation is only for single-sign-on with your on-prem AD and Office 365. There are two authentication methods available with AD FS: active and passive.
Hope this helps.

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");

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.
More reference:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn144876(v=exchg.150).aspx
For more details about this, I'd suggest you post in the forum of Microsoft Online: Exchange Online or
Office 365 Community, as current forum only focuses on questions and feedback for Microsoft Office client.
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office
programs.

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.

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"
More details, please refer following blogs:

Exchange 2010 Free/Busy Federation with vendor's Office 365 tenant

Here the situation,
ORG A
====
Exchange 2010 SP3 On-premise. No externally accessible CAS available/published (we are very secure and require VPN for Outlook/OWA from home/outside network)
ORG B
====
Office 365
ASK
===
ORG B is a vendor for ORG A and we would like to have federated free/busy sharing between the two organizations. I have read the steps about setting up a federation trust, configuring org relationships both ways, configuring autodiscover on our end.
My specific questions are,
1. Currently we don't have any externally published CAS servers. My assumption is we need atleast one (and probably more for fault tolerance) for federated free/busy sharing correct? We obviously don't want to place this in the DMZ/externally...so what are
the recommended configuration? Publish the CAS externally? Any other more secure recommendations? We don't have TMG or any other Microsoft solution for that purpose...are there any other options? We use Cisco IronPorts for inbound/outbound email.
2. Does this coexistence server have to be Exchange 2013 or will Exchange 2010 sp3 suffice?
3. Are there any other methods of accomplishing this ask? We don't want users to have to individually share calendars...so internet calendar sharing is out of the question.

Hi,
If the organization receives or sends Internet e-mail for the domain, we need to
configure an
internet facing CAS server.
