Office 365 directory sync disable stuck on pending

I have a situation where I have setup directory sync with the on premise AD and Office 365. I have now tried to disable directory sync and is has been a week and it still says:
Active Directory synchronization is being deactivated. This process may take up to 72 hours to complete.
in the admin site. I also get this from the PowerShell:
PS C:\Windows\system32> (Get-MSOLCompanyInformation).DirectorySynchronizationStatus
PendingDisabled
I really need some help getting this disabled properly so I can start fresh with directory sync.

Hi,
If the output is "PendingEnabled" or "PendingDisabled" after the expected enablement time period has passed, this is a known issue with Exchange Online.
Please refer to this KB article for more details:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2654338. You might need to follow the steps listed in above article, collect the information, and then contact Support.
Also,this forum focuses on some general discussion about Microsoft Office, better to post this kind of questions in the forum of Office 365 Community where you can get more effective answers:

Hope this helps.

365 Directory Sync Disable

I have synced my AD to 365 successfully for around a year,
I need to decommission AD sync but was wondering if all of the usernames and passwords will be kept on 365 after the sync is disabled?
I sync sam account names which are in format [email protected] but email addresses for the domain are [email protected]
Users authenticate to 365 with their domain.local addresses.
I am just checking before I stop the sync and people are unable to log in, Thanks
***Don't forget to mark helpful or answer***

Yes, people would still be able to log on and work.
Just new users would not be propagated and (if you have it synchronized) passwords would not be propagated.

Server 2012 R2 Essentials and Office 365 Directory Synchronization

I'm in the process of Migrating an on premise Exchange 2013 Environment to Office 365. The environment already has Server 2012 R2 Essentials configured and integrated with Office 365 for Lync. I'm trying to determine best way of setting up the Hybrid Exchange
environment and move to Office 365. From what I've read it appears I need to setup the Office 365 Dir Sync tool. But I'm wondering if I need to break the existing Server Essentials Integration or can I just add configure the Dir Sync tool and go forward with
setting up the Hybrid Environment.
Vincent Sprague

If you are going down this route I would stop using the Essentials Integration and use the full DirSync which does more than the Essentials Integration.

Office 2010 / Office 365 Calender sync

Hi everyone !
I have a bit of a interesting problem I have been google-ing left right and center but everwhere I look I cant find a solution
PROBLEM : The "OUTLOOK 2010/2013" calender does not sync(Sync they dont show the same information) with the " OFFICE 365 CALENDER "
Extra information : We have over a hundred users everyone computer is doing this , We are running on Imap , E-mail's work perfectly ,
But if you create a event(meeting) in the Office 365 calender(OWA via browser) only the office 365 calender(OWA via browser) can see it , not the Outlook 2010/2013
And if you create a event(meeting) in the Outlook 2010/2013 only outlook 2010/2013 can see the event not the office 365(Owa via the browser)
But here come's the Curve ball
If I create a event(meeting) In office 365 (OWA) And Invite attendees , Both or more user's can see it in Outlook2010/2013 and office 365(OWA)
But if you you do it Via outlook ,the user that created it wont be able to see it in the office365(OWA) but the rest would be since they received a mail about it
So Since we don't want to run a POP setup.
Question : How can I get the office 365 calender(OWA) to sync with Outlook 2010/2013 if you created the event(meeting) in Outlook and vice versa?
Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Hi,
You are running on IMAP, this is why the calendars don't sync. If the accounts are setup as POP or IMAP, calendars and contacts don't sync. For accounts setup as Exchange, Exchange ActiveSync, calendars and contacts sync between the server and
client.
Anyway, may I know why on IMAP?
"But if you create a event(meeting) in the Office 365 calender(OWA via browser) only the office 365 calender(OWA via browser) can see it , not the Outlook 2010/2013
And if you create a event(meeting) in the Outlook 2010/2013 only outlook 2010/2013 can see the event not the office 365(Owa via the browser)"
- This is just as I explained at the beginning, calendar items don't sync due to the IMAP setup.
"But if you you do it Via outlook ,the user that created it wont be able to see it in the office365(OWA) but the rest would be since they received a mail about it"
- The organizer doesn't see it on OWA because it shouldn't as I said. The intendees see it on OWA since the request has been sent to the server, no matter it's sent from the Outlook client or OWA, would be processed by the server thus be displayed on users'
calendars.
To change the IMAP setup is the only way as I can suggest on my side.

Office 365 - How sync Outlook for MAC with Iphone

Hello everyone,
I just bought a Macbook air and I use a trial version of Office 365 for MAC (I will have to by it I guess). How can I sync my outlook (calendar, contacts, task) with my Iphone???
I had a pc before (using Office and Outlook 2007) and I was able throught Itunes to sync my contacts and my calendar. But not, I don't anymore this option in Itunes??? The only way is throught iCloud? I tried and I wasn't able to sync with Outlook.
I enabled 'Sync Services' in Outlook but it doesn't works grrrrr
It look likes if the only way is throught iCloud???? How it works???
I choose Office 365 because it must have a new Office for MAC in 2014 and it will be "free" for the Office 365 subscribers. That's why I didn't buy Office for Mac.
And what's the difference with the defaut calendar in Outlook 2011 for MAC (Office 365) with the calendar 'On my computer'? Something to do with the backup?
Thank you everyone, your help will be very appreciate

Office 365: Prgramtically sync Calendar with SharePoint team site calendar

Hello everyone,
I need to sync office 365 Calendar with SharePoint team sites Calendars. We have SharePoint online site which having multiple sub sites, each sub site has a calendar control and we need calendar controls need to be sync with the outlook calendar available
on top bar of office 365.
We need to do it programmatically as we have more then 200 hundred sub sites, please guide me on this that how it is possible using developer app or PowerShell commands.

I think it might help to clarify what you mean. When you say "Office 365 Calendar", what you really mean is the Calendar associated with whomever is logged in, stored in Exchange. When you see the "Calendar" link in the little bar at the top of the page,
that's actually just a link to the Outlook Web Access calendar for a particular user's calendar stored in the Office 365 Exchange server. It's exactly the same calendar that would show up if a user had Outlook installed on their local computer and opened it
up and looked at the calendar.
That being said, you aren't going to want to synch every calendar in your whole SharePoint site with a single user's calendar. I think there are a couple approaches for you:
Create a calendar overlay in SharePoint, which displays other calendars on the current calendar view. Unfortunately, there's a limit as to how many calendars you can do this for, it's far less than 200.
Allow users to create calendar overalys in Outlook. This is the same idea as what you're doing in SharePoint, except users are doing this within Outlook. Again, adding 200 overlays isn't practical.
You can try creating an additional company calendar in Exchange that's not tied to a particular user, but then you'll have to run a timer job to keep the Outlook calendar in synch with the SharePoint calendar. This is a lot more cumbersome than just displaying
the SharePoint calendar, since you're physically copying events over to the Outlook calendar. If you do that, you personally are responsible for keeping the two calendars synched up, rather than just displaying an Exchange calendar in SharePoint, or displaying
a SharePoint calendar in Outlook.
You might looking into third party tools such as
http://www.boostsolutions.com/calendar-rollup-feature-list.html. (I haven't tried that product, it just looks like it might be the type of thing to check out.
If I have any advice, I would recommend as much as possible creating views of calendars, not actually trying to synch data, unless you're doing a one-way synch. (Synching calendar data can be a little bit difficult because you have reoccurring events to
take into account.)

Office 365 DIRSYNC - Sync new AD account with Old Office 365 Account

Hi Guys,
I've deleted an AD account (let's name it XYZ) that is synced with Office 365. However, I was told that XYZ had joined another dept instead of leaving the company. Therefore, I've recreated another AD account for XYZ and went to the Office 365 Portal to
recover the deleted mailbox.
However, I wasn't able to re-sync the XYZ AD account with the Office 365 account. Is there anyway to accomplish this? By the way, XYZ do also have an on-premises Exchange 2010 mailbox.
Thanks.

Hi,
Are emails synced perfectly?
When you set up an Exchange account on your device, you should be able to access and synchronize your email, calendar, and contacts. If the account is set up via POP or IMAP, only emails are synced.
Here are some steps you can refer to when using a Windows Phone:

How To Manage Exchange in Office 365 AD Sync Environment

Pisces225x wrote:
So, for example, right now I have no way to manage distribution lists beyond adding and removing members? For example, I can't edit the default configuration on a distribution list to allow it to accept external messages.
You can do that in EAC.
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/bb124513.aspx#deliverymanagement

I implemented AD Sync in our O365 environment a while back. After this I continued to manage Exchange entirely in the O365 admin console. Recently I had a reason to go ahead and extend the AD Schema to include the Exchange attributes. Now the majority of management needs to be done in our local AD. I'm fine with this. My issues are the following:- I initially created and managed all distribution lists in the O365 EAC. They have never existed as objects in our local AD and I have never had on prem Exchange. Is there a way to sync the lists back to our AD? I don't see that they exist anywhere as objects and hence I can't manage them.- Is there anything to be gained by installing Exchange on a local server, even if only to gain access to a local EAC? I'm not interested in trying to set up any kind of hybrid environment.I know someone else...

Office 365 Deployment with new local domain

I just started working for a company that has somewhat implemented Office 365 to about 100 users. They are mostly using it for Exchange Online. No ADFS or AD Sync has been done between the on-premise domain and Office365.
The same user accounts do exist in the local domain.
Once we get ADFS and AD Sync working what will happen between the Office365 accounts and the local accounts. For instance, in Office365 we have
[email protected] and locally we have a user
[email protected] Will the accounts just sync together and use the information from the local domain since the IDs are the same.

Recently Added Office 365 Domain to Azure

We just signed up with Azure and I'm in the process of building it out. We also have an existing Office 365 subscription which we use primarily for email (Exchange 2013 in Office 365). The trouble is that I'm fairly new to Office 365 and a complete noob
when it comes to Azure, so everything I'm doing to get these two worlds to talk is self taught (we do not have support).
In an effort to get a head start, in Azure, I have built two servers to be designated as domain controllers and two servers to be designated as application servers; a total of four virtual servers now exist in Azure. I installed the respective roles
on each of the servers.
This morning I finally managed to understand how to link our existing Office 365 domain to Azure; the Office 365 directory now exists in Azure. Subsequently, I attempted to promote the two virtual servers to domain controllers in the recently added
directory to no avail. When I begin the promotion, I select the option to
Add a domain controller to an existing domain, enter the domain name (Office 365) and the domain admin creds, and then I'm met with the following error:
An Active Directory domain controller for the domain "name of domain" could not be contacted
Basically, when I attempt to add this to server to that domain I'm met with an error that no domain controller exists or if I attempt to promote the server to a domain controller I'm met with the error above. How do I get around it? How can I
successfully add either of the newly provisioned virtual servers to the domain?
Any help you can offer would be great!

Marcin is correct.
For better understanding, imagine Windows Azure Active Directory as an Organizational Unit (OU), in which you can manage user accounts and groups, but no any computer accounts. WA AD is for handling authentications, and because Office 365 (which is a SaaS)
authenticates with WA AD, and an Azure subscription is also using WA AD object for authentications, you can import WA AD of an Office 365 subscription into Azure.
On the other hand if you build your own network and infrastructure in Azure, and needs a Domain Controller, you need to install a VM with Active Directory Domain Services role.

Active Directory forest which need to be sync with Office 365 E1 plan

we have multiple local Active Directory forest which need to be sync with Office 365 E1 plan, how we can do that?

Hiya,
you need to use either FIM or AAD. I would recommend the AAD, even though it's in beta, it will properly be a better choice.

Project Pro 2013 and syncing with SharePoint Online 2013 (Office 365)

Good day,
I am experiencing some challenges with a Project Pro master project file and syncing to SharePoint 2013 (Office 365).
What works
Individual projects can be synced to SharePoint without issue. Once synced, the site start page presents the Project Summary gant, clicking the Tasks link takes me to the tasks. Project files are stored in the Site Assets directory in each SharePoint site
(one site per project file).
What doesn't work
When I create a new project (and sync it to a new site), then add two (2) existing project files that reside on SharePoint and then sync to the new master project site I
don't see any content in the Project Summary gant, nor do I see any tasks in the task list. I can't figure out if this is not supported or if I've done something wrong. There are no error messages or indicators that I've done something wrong,
short of the master project projects not showing up on the master project site (nothing in the project summary gant and no tasks).
Some help would be greatly appreciated. Being able to render a master project is crucial to understanding timelines for many projects in a single view.

Steven,
This is by design. Inserted Sub projects will NOT show in the Master Project Tasks list. You will only see tasks inserted directly at the Master Project Level.
Moreover, if you set up a dependency between Master project Task and Subproject task, then the sync will not work. All in all, there are limitations for this process, which is where Project Online/Project Server needs to be considered.
