Office 365 email deployment using Outlook 2010 and PRF files

Hi,
I've been struggling to get Outlook 2010 setup with a new Office 365 deployment. I would like to use custom PRF files to get the new Outlook profiles configured. I have more than 100 users.
One of PRF files I'm using is shown at the end of this message. Each user will get a custom PRF file with his/her information already configured (mailbox, server name, etc...). I've obtained the corresponding Exchange server using:
Get-Mailbox <email> | select ExchangeGUID
I've attached the domain at the end of the GUID and then that's the Exchange server. It matches what you get with Outlook using Autodiscover.
Using these PRF fies I'm able to create a new default profile and set all the parameters as if I had create the profile manually. Two problems here though:
1) I don't know what to change in the PRF file to set the Logon Network Security to Anonymous Authentication under the Security tab (Exchange account properties)
2) When Outlook asks me for the username and password, it won't take it, and I know I'm using the right credentials. If I create the profile manually (not using Autodiscover) and I use the same configuration parameters in the PRF file, everything is ok. I have
already run all the updates and tools that come as part of Setup Desktop in Office 365. Actually I get the same results with Outlook 2013.
I'm looking for some help here or ideas how to roll Office 365 without having to go user by user and creating a new profile and waiting for Autodiscover to finish :)

Wow, even if we were to find out what to add to the PRF, it turns out each user mailbox has it's own unique server name (aka Virtual Connection Point). I cannot believe two departments of Microsoft aren't talking to each other!!!! ..... wait, that always
happens. 1 week later and probably 100 hours later I am just going to create a simple how-to for each user.
Here is the link I just found explaining the "virtual connection points". http://www.blackmanticore.com/2c209fbaa93ae6cf8f8dac5b50281f2e
I'm sure NEXT YEAR Microsoft will catch up with itself and add this option/feature in the Office Customization Tool to create PRF files that will actually work with their services.

Delayed received emails Using Outlook 2010 and Exchange Server 2010 SP3

Hi,
Some of our users are encountering delayed emails. When our clients sent email to us, some of our clients received this an hour late, sometimes they will received this the next day.
Our users uses Outlook 2010 and our Exchange Server is 2010. We have already patch this to SP3 as it says that the delayed emails was already fixed in this SP3 but we still encounter the delayed emails.
Thanks.
Collins.

Hi Collins,
In order to narrow down this issue, please use OWA to send and receive a test email, see whether the delay will still happen or not.
From your description, the issue happens when certain users receive emails from internal. I recommend you use message tracking log to determine which step delays.
Here is an article for your reference.

I am using Outlook 2010 and have a iphone 4s. In Outlook I have issues with my contacts not being the same as what I have corrected them to be. Is there a way to check and see which file Outlook is sharing with I-cloud?

I am using Outlook 2010 and I also use a Iphone 4s. I use Outlook to correct all my contacts and them it sync with my phone BUT I get different variations of the contacts. Almost as if there is another file it is going to. Can I check to see which file it is reading from??

This may be helpful.

I updated my iphone 5 to ios 7 two days ago and I synced with my computer for the first time yesterday. Most of my calendar appointments and events were wiped off my phone but are still on the computer. I use outlook 2010 and a pc running windows 7. Rebooting the phone and the computer failed to remedy the calendar sync problem.

Easy solution for restoring lost calendar informaiton, thank goodness. On your iPhone, go to settings, then to iCloud. If your Calendar selection is turned off, turn it on. Your info should restore. If your Calendar selection is turned on, then turn it off. Choose to save calendars when asked. After it shuts the Calendar off, turn it back on. Your info should be restored.
Thank you to Apple support for walking me through this. Shame on you Apple for not just telling people about this easy fix rather than making us go through all of this pain and worry.

Email Stuck in Outlook 2010 outbox

First let me say that I use Outlook 2010 and for the most part I am VERY happy with it. But yesterday I was sending emails with attachments and 4 out of the 8 that I sent are still stuck in the outbox. If I send other emails that do not have attachments it is still taking a long time for them to go through. I have now had to go to my hotmail account to send mail (which is what I did not want to do since I use Outlook) so that it can bypass the stuck emails. Is there a way to move/delete something to get them gone so that I can send mail like before?

I understand that you are unable to send emails in Outlook 2010. The emails got stuck in the Outbox.
Based on the current situation, this issue can be caused by several factors, such as Internet connection, Outlook settings or corrupted outlook profile. We can try the following methods to see if the problem can be resolved.
Method 1:
====================
Click the “Send/Receive” tab, then click “Send all”.
Method 2: New Outlook profile
==============
1.            Exit Outlook.
2.            Go to Start > Control Panel, click or double-click Mail.
Mail appears in different Control Panel locations depending upon the version of the Microsoft Windows operating system, Control Panel view selected, and whether a 32- or 64-bit operating system or version of Outlook is installed.
The easiest way to locate Mail is to open Control Panel in Windows, and then in the Search box at the top of window, type Mail. In Control Panel for Windows XP, type Mail in the Address box.
Note    The Mail icon appears after Outlook starts for the first time.
The title bar of the Mail Setup dialog box contains the name of the current profile. To select a different existing profile, click Show Profiles, select the profile name, and then click Properties.
3.            Click Show Profiles. Choose Prompt for a profile to be used.
4.            Click Add.
5.            Type a name for the profile, and then click OK.
6.            Start Outlook, and choose this new profile.
7.             Try to send the emails in the new profile

Any idea?

OK.
Please follow this step.
1. As you said you are in coexistence step , so for now all endpoint already point to Exchange 2010 right?
2. Check legacy owa redirect that you already configure
3. In Exchange 2010 , Make sure that you already configure "Autodiscoverinternaluri" by this command set-clientaccessserver -identity "servername" -autodiscoverinternaluri
https://autodiscover.domain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml. and don't forget to create autodiscover record in DNS
4. in Exchange 2010 , Make sure that you already configure "EWS" path by this command set-webservicesvertualdirectory -identity "XXX\Default web site name" -internalurl
https://yourinternalurl/EWS/Exchange.asmx -externalurl https://yourexternalurl/EWS/Exchange.asmx
5. don't forget to replicate freebusy from Exchange 2003 to Excahnge 2010 via public folder.
You error look like client cannot get autodiscover process please check it again.

Deploy Office 365 Pro Plus using MDT 2013

Hello,
I'm currently evaluating O365 E3 and am specifically looking into what my options are for deploying Office 2013 Pro Plus when rolling out a new PC image. Currently I use MDT 2013 to deploy the image to new PCs and install Office 2010 along with other
applications. Can I use C2R with a config file pointing to a local repository of the installation files with MDT 2013?

Setting the shared templates location by Deploying Office 365 Midsized Business "using a network share" from a on-premise location

I found the question "Deploy Office 365 pro plus using a network share or from a on-premise locaiton" the most useful of the resources
on MS yet - but I am having difficulties getting the files to download for a local deployment.
The root of the issue, that I cannot find anywhere, is how do I set the shared templates location for users in the organization. First I thought a GPO, but I cannot find that setting in the GPO in MS.
Then I thought modifying the REG- but it is in a binary key which could include other information I may not want modified(Or does it matter?)
Then I looked for ways to download the deployment but launching from an elevated prompt as IT (Domain level) returns a useless error to paraphrase- 'sorry MSOffice didn't install- do you have enough disk space'.
I have downloaded the GPO objects, but not installed them, likely I will need those later though.
Just want to path all the users to a central repository of office/excel/access/outlook templates in addition to their local templates. Concise help in steps or sites that have solved the issue are Greatly appreciated : )

Hi,
you can use the GPO ADMX templates to configure the "Workgroup templates path".
This actually configures a registry setting named: "sharedtemplates".
The registry value/type/data is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\15.0\common\general
Name: sharedtemplates
Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ (Expandable String Value)
Data: <UNC path to folder>
From the GPO reference workbook/sheet, for Office:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4976.selected-content-relating-to-group-policy-administrative-templates-adm-and-admx.aspx
Filename: office15.admx
Scope: User
Path: Microsoft Office 2013\Shared paths
Policy Setting Name: Workgroup templates path
Supported on: At least Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7
Category: Shared paths
Explain Text: Specifies the location of workgroup templates.
Registry Key: HKCU\software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\common\general!sharedtemplates
Note: it is supported to populate this setting, with a UNC path, but not with a web path.
e.g.: \\server01\shared\templates <this is valid>
e.g.: http://server01/shared/templates <this is not valid>
This constraint (for web URIs) can be difficult to work around. If you are using SharePoint, and think WebDAV might work, it doesn't seem to work for us :(
Of course, if you have SharePoint, there are much better ways to handle document templates, but, our users are familiar with this File -> New -> from template type of method...
It can also be set manually by a user:

Strange drag and drop email issue with Outlook 2010

Has anyone experienced this? It only started happening recently. It may have something to do with an installation of the most recent Office 2010 service pack. Here's the scenario: Using Outlook 2010 professional Try dragging an email from the email list
on the right into the list of folders on the left in order to file it When the drag crosses the email list to the folder list, the email drops into some random folder The drag operation picks up a random folder and now has a random folder attached to the drag
In other words, the email disappears somewhere and is replaced by a folder in the drag operation. It's not a mouse button issue as this doesn't happen anywhere else on the system while dragging, only in Outlook. Any thoughts?

Receiving multiple duplicate emails using Outlook 2010

I am receiving multiple duplicate emails using Outlook 2010. The email receiving, can go up to few hundreds copies. Not
all emails i receive will be duplicated. There is no common sender for those affected emails. Usually when i received email from my Outlook 2010 the email in Outlook Web Access will be gone. But this time round for those affected duplicating emails, it still
can be found in the Outlook Wed Access. Any solution for this problem? Currently
I would need to go into the Outlook Web Access to delete the affected email then the duplication will be stop. Or I would need to cancel the Send/Receive & restart Outlook. But this 2 method is only temporary solution. The problem will keep coming
back.

Dear Jeremycny,
I think you are working with a POP3 account and issue of replicated emails in Outlook is common in the case of POP3 connection. So, first of all uncheck the
“Leave a copy of messages on the server” option and see the results.
Also, see the TasK Manager, if there are multiple “Outlook.exe” are running under the
“Processes” tab, then end the unnecessary programs as each of them downloading the same email multiple times.
Apart from it, if there are numbers of factors behind the replication of emails in Microsoft Outlook such as:
Rules (Exploiated Rules)
Scanning Programs Integration
Damaged Outlook Profile

Problems with a shared calendar using Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2010

Hello all,
We are having a problem with sharing a calendar using Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2010.
I will start with some background. I have just started my position with this company. I have been working with networks for awhile at the small business level. I have not had much production experience with exchange. There is only myself and my supervisor
who has inherited a midsized network which was built by five previous techs that are no longer with the company. Of course, the previous techs did not leave much documentation, so the original hows and whys for our system setup has been lost.
One of the managers has a calendar she shares with some of our users. I believe this calendar has been in use since sometime in 2006. A mailbox was created to hold this calendar to keep it separate from the managers calendar. I am not sure what version
of exchange they were using at that time, but I assume there was one or two migrations of it getting to its current state on our exchange 2010 server. At some point it was observed that the other workers she was sharing with were not able to access it correctly.
I am not fully sure what the original problem was (possibly some people not being able to see or connect to the calendar), but it was decided to give everyone who needed access to this calendar full access permissions through exchange. Correct me if I
am wrong, but I believe that gave everyone connected the ability to do anything with the calendar. Of course the manager was not happy about that. This is where I started working on the problem.
I removed everyone, except the manager who wants to control the calendar, from having "Full Access Permissions". This did have the effect of making some people just able to see the calendar and not make changes. Though there were others that were
able to connect to the calendar who I thought would not be able to. The manager that originally created the calendar did try to manage access to it through the Outlook interface, though it currently does not seem to be fully in effect.
So, to get to the point of what we are trying to do, is there a way to get the original manager back into control of the calendar though Outlook? It would be preferred to be able to keep the history of what they tracked of this calendar, so starting a new
one would be something we would rather avoid. After that, getting all of the users that need to connect to the calendar reconnected with the correct access permissions and making sure they are all synchronized.
I realize this is a big mess, and your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Nigel,
How is the impact, just one user or all users, Outlook or OWA?
If just one user, it seems like an issue on the Outlook Client side.
Please trying to re-create new profile to fresh the caches.
Please runing Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs, add-ins and firewall.

Trouble syncing email changes in outlook 2010 to iPad using iCloud. It works the other way round!!!

I have set up my mobileme email in outlook 2010 and installed and set up the iCloud Windows tool. However, I am having problems syncing changes I make on the PC. For example, if I delete an email on my iPad, it almost immediately deletes it from my Outlook...perfect. But if I delete an email from Outlook it doesn't delete from my iPad. Am I doing something wrong? Can anyone help?

I misspoke when i said,
"If a new appointment is created in Outlook 2007 it is synch to the iOS devices. The appointments can then be modified on these devices and that change is reflected properly in "Calendar in iCloud"."
It is true the new appt is visible on the iOS devices and changes (such as adding appt details can be made from these devices) .. however those changes are only reflected on the other iOS device and not brought back into "Calendar in iCloud" w/in Outook.
