Office 365 E3 subscription / Terminal Server / Office Professional Plus 2013

Hi,
Background info:
We use multiple Office 365 E3 subscriptions (12 now) and also have an Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server.
The users may install Office 365 Pro Plus on their local machines and are able to connect to SharePoint online with the Office applications. Now not everyone has a PC so they log in to one of the two Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Servers. I do
however want one big happy family working with SharePoint so I installed Office Professional Plus 2013 and tweaked the Group Policies so that the start up screen and movie arent beeing showed.
When I log in with my test user on the Terminal Server (who has a E3 subscription) I miss the feature to add a location (to connect to the SharePoint site). I just do not have that feature. When I log in with my domain administrator account who also
has an E3 subscription, I am able to add a connection.
There is SO much info on the web about Office 365/Terminal Servers etc but I am not able to find what I was looking for.
Question:
What do I need to do so our Domain Users who log in to the Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server are able to open/save files directly to the SharePoint site? How do I add the SharePoint location?

Wrong forum :)
You should either go to the Terminal Services (RDP) forum or Office 365.
Good luck with your issue.

    Hi,
    SharePoint would not exist when Office 2013 initial installed.  After you save a file to a SharePoint library for the first time, you can click
    Save as you do for any file. Please try the following steps:
    1) Add the document (Word file) to a document library on a SharePoint 2013 site
    2) Click on the file within the SharePoint document library.
    3) Click open in Excel
    4) Save the file
    5) Close Excel
    6) Open Excel, select new Blank Workbook, File, Save As, "SharePoint" should now appear.

  • Query about using Office 365 as a file server

    Hey,
    At my workplace we are looking to change our method of storing files, as it stands we have an old machine which we connect to via the LAN.
    As we have expanded, other people need access to this from afar and we have looked at Office 365 Education, my understanding is that everyone gets 25gb on their own local area. How would we go about getting 100-200 GB of space on a standalone area.
    E.G a virtual server which everyone can access, as an admin can I restrict who views which directories? 
    My understanding is that I would need to make a user account called "Company Server" and share the folders via SkyDrive and only upgrade that account?
    Thanks again

    The storage for OneDrive for Business (SkyDrive Pro) is now 1TB for each user. OneDrive for Business is a good place for storing users' working files, the kinds of files you'd typically find in user home directories.
    You can use Office 365 like a file server through the use of mapped network drives. Here's how to set one up support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2616712. You can also script the network drive setup process with Powershell. Check

  • Office 365 Developer Subscription from my MSDN subscription not activating

    Hi,
    I have a "Visual Studio Ultimate with MSDN" subscription. As part of the subscription is the bundled "Office 365 Developer Subscription". I tried to activate the subscription 3 months ago but it failed with some temporary error. Now if I
    try to reactivate the subscription, it says 
    "It’s no longer offered by Microsoft.
    You’ve already tried this service. You can sign up for a trial only once.
    The beta or trial you’re requesting has expired.
    The promotion code has already been used."
    How do I avail the benefit of the subscription?
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Cindy,
    I have already called the support helpline there 3 times and it was of no use. (My company is based in India and our experience for MSDN support here hasn't been that good compared to US support).
    I got to this forum here via link on "MSDN TroubleShooting and Support" page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-in/hh361695.aspx)
    Anyway, I see that this is not the right place, I will look elsewhere.

  • Fails to activate Office Professional Plus 2013 Trial

    Hello
    Yesterday I downloaded from Microsoft evaluation center the Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 Trial. The installation completed successfully but when I am trying to activate Office using the email address that I use to download the application,
    I receive a message saying that "The email *****@live.com isn't related to this Office product subscription. The activation cannot proceed".
    Why it doesn't recognize my email address since is this that I used to download the product?
    Thank you
    Maria

    Hi,
    It seems you tried to activate Office with the registered account. Which language did you download then?
    I visited http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-office-professional-plus-2013 and downloaded the Chinese (Simplified) version of Office Professional
    Plus 2013. Before downloading it prompted a trial product key which is used to activate the trial version:
    Please try to activate the trial version of Office with the trial product key instead of the registered account, check the result again.

    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.

  • Add Microsoft Publisher to Office Professional Plus 2013

    Hi,
    I'm trying to do a command-line installation to add Microsoft Publisher 2013 to an existing Office Professional Plus 2013. It was assumed that our staff would not need it, but as we have already received one request to get it installed, and the school year
    has not yet started, we assume that others will also need it, measuring possibly in the hundreds or thousands. As a result, I'm looking for a batch scripting option.
    Via other postings, I found it was possible to script the uninstall of the Office Upload Center via:
    msiexec /i{90150000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE} REMOVE=WxpFiles
    I'm looking to find something similar to add Microsoft Publisher. I know that the Office Customization Tool exists, but quite honestly, I don't have time to learn how to use it. I'd prefer not to send my network technicians out to the computers, especially
    when there should be better options, but if it comes down to only the GUI, then only the GUI it is.

    I'm still not entirely clear as to how this would work. If, for example, I use an MSP to add Publisher, then the user also then needs Outlook, would the Outlook MSP also need to have Publisher set to "Run all from my computer", or could that one just add
    Outlook? I havent had a chance to run the OCT yet, my firewall consumed my day today.
    By the way, it is exactly this type of question why I was looking for the way to add it via an msiexec flag. If I can remove a part of the Office installation that way, it seems to on me that I should be able to add one as well, even if it is not "the best
    way" or "the right way".
    You will need to try it out and see how it plays in your environment.
    In my environment, we initially customised Office such that InfoPath was set to "Not Available". Subsequently, a need for InfoPath was identified, so I grabbed the original MSPfile which I deployed Office with (sans InfoPath), modified that to set InfoPath=RunFromMyComputer,
    set that to [F]orce,  then pushed msiexec /p enableInfoPath.msp, to those computers which needed InfoPath.
    Note that I re-used the previous/existing customisation file (the file which already had all features other than InfoPath set to enabled), and toggled the feature state of InfoPath.

  • I cant activate my trial of office professional plus 2013 to work as it will not accept the product key

    I downloaded a 60 day trial version of office professional plus 2013. I dont think I activated it straight away and then when I tried to activate using the product key, I get trial configuration not completed successfully. Error 25004. Product key cannot
    be used on this machine. This is most likely due to previous office 2013 trials being installed.(system error : -1073422308) then another pop up says Repair office product suggested (system error: 0x800761ac). I have  not trialed this version fully as
    yet but would like to so how can I sort this out?

    Hi,
    You can use the following method to repair your office 2013 and check if it works fine:
    1.Go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features;
    2.Click either Quick Repair or Online Repair.
    You might need to restart your computer after the repair is complete.
    If it doesn’t work, for the Error 25004, you should uninstall the existing version of Microsoft Office 2013 as mentioned in this KB：

    Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
    That's because you are attempting to call cellphones in Poland and Ireland. Your Subscription only covers calls to landlines in those countries.
    Check your coverage.
    TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
    I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

  • Office 365 Features after Windows Server Standard Transition

    Hi all,
    I am looking to transition from Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials to Standard as per
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj247582.
    The article calls out explicitly that the media features are removed from the web access site and disabled in the dashboard after the transition but there is no clarification of anything relating to Office 365.
    Does the built-in version of DirSync in Essentials continue to function for synchronising on-premise passwords and users to the Office 365 Tenant after the transition?
    I would assume that they do given that there is no mention of the features in the transition article but I would like some reassurance. It would be nice to hear from someone who has actually attempted this to know if there are
    any other features or faults in the process?
    Richard Green | MCSA 2012, MCSE 2003, MCTS Desktop Virtualization, VCP5-DV http://richardjgreen.net

    yes, the office 365 integration components continue yo work.
    Hi Cliff, thanks for the response.
    Do you know what happens when the media features are removed? When the media features are first enabled, it creates three new shares called Music, Pictures and Videos on the server.
    When the media features are removed by the Standard transition, are these shares disabled, removed or are the underlying NTFS folders actually deleted at all? Obviously I would have a backup going into this but it would be nice to understand the behaviour
    fully.
    If might be worth an update to the TechNet article to explain the behaviour to the media shared folders as well as the media feature itself.
