Office 365 in education

Hi,
My wife is the assistant head for a primary school and she is wanting to move towards Office 365 so they can benefit from using Lync, SharePoint sites and personal profiles and collaborating with other schools. 
I'm looking at possibly doing the work but I've never really used 365 before.  I want to know the best way to get started, what the best way would be to manage multiple companies/domains, can we federate 365 organisations?
Any success stories where schools have already done this would also be a huge advantage,
thanks

Hi
Dont worry, Its really simple to setup of O365 Online however if you want to setup hybrid or Sync users / Password from AD then you may need to do some extra efforts to set this up.
If you want to setup O365 stand alone only on cloud and not integrated with AD. then below are steps you many need to do.
First you need to login with Onmicrosoft.com
Then Add your Domain name which you have purchased to Office 365 Portal
You will be asked to verify the domain by adding a TXT record or any other method
Once verified, you will be able to add users with your own domain.
Add MX record an point to O365. MX record will be shown on your office 365 Admin portal
wait for replication and that’s it ... :) you are done !!!
YOu can add multiple Domain and with the same process and create users on required domain.
Integration with AD
You need to have a server
Download DIRSyn software and it will sync users from On Perm AD to O365 AD.
Your Password will also sync 
You can use it on multiple forest 
If you dont want Password to sync, then can use ADFS to get authentication in on Perm AD
Hope this helps

  • Calendar bug with Office 365 for Education (exchange accounts)

    I have an Office 365 Exchange account provided by my University. When I add the account to my Mac, Mail.app and Contacts.app work perfectly. However I receive an error message in Calendar which states that “Calendar needs a valid email address to connect” to my account. The address is clearly valid since it is working in Mail and Contacts. Furthermore, this account works perfectly in iOS Mail, Contacts, and Calendar. The issue is only with Calendar in OS X. Upon researching online, it appears that this issue will occur on Macs if the account is hidden on the Exchange Global Address List (which is true for my account). Below are a few additional points that are related to this bug:
    1. iOS connects to Exchange through ActiveSync which is why I don't see the issue on iOS devices.
    2. OS X connects to Exchange through Exchange Web Services (EWS). OS X supports EWS for Calendar syncing only when a users name is listed on the Global Address List. If the account is hidden (and they usually are for Office 365 educational accounts at Universities complying with FERPA laws) then Calendar.app cannot connect and sync the users calendar. I am not sure if this is by-design or a bug.
    3. The third-party Mac app 'BusyCal 2' also uses EWS to connect to Exchange and it will work regardless of the visibility of the user's account on the GAL.
    This has led me to two conclusions: Either  (1) Apple has a bug in Calendar.app, or (2) the bug is in EWS and Busycal 2 is forcing some sort of work-around. It's likely that Apple and Microsoft will need to work together to fix the issue. I've attempted submitting a bug report to Apple but I have no way to contact Microsoft since I am not an admin for the Office 365 plan that my school uses. I would need to go through my admins but they don't seem to care much about this issue. So pretty much I'm left helpless at this point :/
    Does my analysis seem valid or does anyone else have any points to contribute? I would appreciate the assistance

    Hi,
    There are two ways to share read access to your calendar on premise to Office 365. The method you choose depends on your requirements and the level of access that you want to give to the calendars. But providing write access to the calendar is not possible
    in a Cross-Premise scenario.
    For more information, here is a blog for your reference.

  • Use Powershell to bulk activate office 365 Education E1 Students license for 900 synced users

    Hi,
    We have synced 900 users and we need to active "Office 365 Education E1 for Students" (STANDARDWOFFPACK_STUDENT)  license for them using the powershell.
    With the following command I am able to activate one user at a time; Is there anyway to do it to bulk users ?
    Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName [email protected] -AddLicenses "teamxxx:STANDARDWOFFPACK_STUDENT"
    And also with the "Office 365 Education E1 for Students" activation I only want "Office Online for Education" to be activated but not "Lync Online", "Sharepoint" and "Exchange Online".
    Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

    You have to get instructions from them on which keys are to be activated.  YOuo need to activate each product.  YOu are only activating the base product.  Lync and Visio are optional licenses.  It is not a PowerShell issue;
    Notice this parmeters is plural for a reason:
    -AddLicenses
    "teamxxx:STANDARDWOFFPACK_STUDENT"
    You can put an array of licenses.  STANDARD is just the base office product.  Ask themfor the license strings for the other or look at them online.

    Exchange is part of Office365.  I don't see how you can not have it.  Youc can control which products are downloadable.

  • Office 365 vs Google Apps?

    I wanted to share a recent guest post by the CEO of Champion Solutions Group on behalf of Sanjeevini Mittal on how customers find Office 365 vs Google Apps. What is your experience?  
    Today’s
    guest blogger is Chris Pyle, president and CEO of Champion Solutions Group, an award-winning Microsoft Gold partner that helps
    small and medium enterprises develop cloud strategies and deploy cloud solutions. Founded in 1979, Champion has 22 offices in 11 states and is the parent company for MessageOps, which focuses exclusively on helping customers move seamlessly to the Microsoft
    Cloud. The two companies have helped hundreds of customers migrate to Office 365.
    At Champion Solutions Group, we focus on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that range from about 250 to 2500 seats. We have helped hundreds of business, education and government customers migrate a total of about 700,000 seats to Office 365. As part of our
    work, we have helped many customers migrate to Office 365 from Google Apps, including several who previously had left Microsoft for Google.
    In working with our customers, we focus on operational efficiencies, making sure the organizations that adopt the Office 365 platform really make the most of it. Just because you migrate to Office 365 doesn’t mean you’re done. That’s Day One. There’s still
    Day Two (how you set everything up) and Day Three (how you collaborate and leverage the power of Office 365). We help our customers with all three stages.
    Why customers choose Office 365 over Google Apps:  For organizations that switch from Google Apps to Office 365, the number one reason is that they find Office 365 is easier to use
    and offers greater productivity than Google Apps. Because it is enterprise-grade and much more business-focused than anything Google can offer, customers also say that Office 365 is more robust than Google Apps.
    As an example, one of our customers is a large grocery chain on the East Coast, with more than 10,000 users in many different locations. When the company decided to abandon Google Apps and adopt Office 365, the top two reasons were the usability and robustness
    of Office 365. In fact, one of the main reasons the company finally decided to switch to Office 365 was that employees complained so much about Google Apps. They said it was very cumbersome and didn’t work for them. They just didn’t find Google Apps as productive
    as Office 365.
    Choice is another important factor for many organizations when they are considering different cloud solutions. When we ask our customers why they choose Microsoft over Google Apps, many say that having a choice of cloud, on-premise or hybrid solutions gives
    them the flexibility to meet their business needs. With Google, the cloud is the only option. Customers like having a productivity solution they can tailor to their business.
    Office 365 is more cost-effective than Google Apps:  There’s an immediate cost benefit to customers who choose a cloud solution. They save money on the initial capital outlay, and they
    can convert those savings to operational investments, but the cost-effectiveness of any solution is about more than the initial price tag.
    When customers are choosing a cloud solution, they ask questions about productivity, security, and how well it works. Microsoft provides positive answers to all of those questions. In our experience, the productivity suite that Microsoft delivers with Office
    365, compared to Google Apps, makes it the “right way” for most organizations.  Over the long term, Office 365 is often the most cost-effective choice.
    The bottom line:  What we offer our customers when we help them migrate to Office 365 is a way to transform how they work, to innovate, and to come up with better ways to make a difference
    to their customers. Once our customers begin to understand and use the full capabilities of Office 365, they report a significant increase in productivity,
    with their employees doing a tremendous amount of work from almost any location, on any of their devices, and being much more collaborative.

    I am grandfathered into a Google Apps account with 50 seats. I also pay for a 5 user seat Office 365 account. My personal domains are on Google Apps and my business domains are on Office 365. How both services are great, I prefer Office 365 to Google Apps
    any day of the week. Now, I am a huge Google user. But my eco-system is so Microsoft heavy, I will stick with Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 8.1 OS's for now. But that is not the only reason. Google Apps is simple. That is what makes Google Apps so strong is
    that it is simple to use. Office 365 is robust. That is what makes Office 365 so strong is that it is robust. Now, the major difference. Office 365 is a little harder to use and set up than Google Apps is. A small company of 5 users may benefit with Google
    Apps if they do not have an IT department. With Office 365, if you have 20 users, I will suggest some kind of geek working there to handle some of the IT because Office 365 is a little too robust. For me, my business, I like robust. I prefer the features of
    Office 365 over Google Apps. I like the control I have over Office 365. Google Apps does not give you control, it is straight forward. For some companies, Google Apps may be great for them. For large large enterprises, they may want to consider Office 365.
    Though, there are a lot of large enterprises settling with Google Apps. Either way, it all depends on the needs of the company. Both services are good. I just prefer Office 365 and my opinions are just as valid as someone who prefers Google Apps.

  • 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.

  • 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

    If no, can I purchase it with a one-time payment

    Hi,
    BCM should work well as you mentioned you had used it for a few days, and you also have the latest desktop version of Office. However, I haven't found any official documents about this, I will need to do more research on this.
    About the issue "I can still see the link, but it's kind of frozen." What link is it here you referred to? Let's see whether we can work together to fix the issue.

  • Office 365 general licence question

    I am looking to provide a new service to a cluster of schools which will be separate to their every day work. This will be only for select users in about a dozen schools which will help with collaboration and communication for Head Teachers and the deputy
    head.
    The school have piloted Office 365 Education A3 plan but the service I will provide is going to be through my own company.  My question is this.  Would I apply for a education licences or as it's a service my company is going to offer would I still
    have to pay for an enterprise or pro licence?
    I hope that makes sense
    Thanks in advance.

    It sounds like you need to talk to MS Partner Support, since you will be selling/reselling/onselling/upselling ?
    Resellers and hosters, have different MS agreements (partner agreements).
    The typical "Retail" or "Volume" products, can't be on-sold, I think.

  • Exchange 2013 Hybrid Deployment, on-premise to multiple Office 365 tenants

    Hello, we are in the early stages of planning an Exchange 2013 hybrid deployment for a federation of education organisations.
    We are planning to use a single on-premise Exchange organisation for staff mailboxes across all member organisations, each member already has it's own Office 365 tenancy for students, which we would like to maintain if possible.
    My question is, is it possible (and supported) for an Exchange hybrid deployment with a single on-premise organisation with multiple Office 365 tenants, my understanding is that only a 1:1 deployment is supported, can somebody confirm or clarify this ?
    Thanks

    I think if you have different AD sites then you can install the DirSync or ADFS for each of them and have one way replication. I 'd aks this question to Office365 Forum and support.

  • Sharepoint Login Popup (Office 365 vs. Microsoft Account)

    Hello Everyone,
    We are using Sharepoint Online and I am designing the site for office use. Let me pre-face this with the fact that we do NOT use Office 365. I have been registering email accounts with Microsoft so other users can login externally. I have run into a barrier
    to adoption for my users: When they attempt to access the sharepoint site (randomdomainhere.sharepoint.com), they are met with an Office 365 login popup. There is an option at the bottom of that popup to login with a Microsoft account. Now, even though
    I have explained in great detail that this link needs to be clicked and the user login from that page, I still receive multiple users asking me to make this process easier as it often leads to mistakes or frustration on their end. What I have done to this
    point is clicked on the link, used that URL as a Trusted site, and remained logged in. In theory, as long as I click the link I get right in, but the preference would be to display the microsoft account page popup in place of the office 365 popup. This would
    potentially do one, if not both of the following:
    1. Allow my users to login using their credentials without seeing two popup pages
    2. If site was trusted and auto login was allowed, it would let users directly into the Sharepoint site
    which is the intended goal.
    I have searched for an answer to this repeatedly with no viable solution. I should also mention that I am not a developer or web designer. I am just a guy who wants to make things run smoother in my office. Please help.
    Thanks,
    Christian

    There really isn't a good solution to this issue at the moment.  MS applied this change to the Login page a few months ago and it is very confusing for external users.  MS is aware of the frustration, but the SharePoint Online group doesn't control
    that login page.  What I have done for my external users is put together an email message, with a screen shot, showing how to get to the Microsoft Account login page from the default login page.  
    #1 is the only way that works.
    #2 usually won't work since the trust sites autologin passes their workstation login.  In my experience that usually will be an internal corporate account that won't match their Microsoft account.
    The only way to really handle it at this point is through education and wait for the login page to be changed to a better external user experience.

    Hi Rake,
    You can compare your PC and another machine which is working, see if it is related to IE settings(e.g. SharePoint urls in trusted sites zone).
    And you can try re-install the SharePoint Designer 2013 with same version and bit-version(32/64) on your PC like another machine, then check again.

    Hi,
    To narrow down this issue, please take your time to collect some information:
    Does this happen to message sent to an individual, to a domain, or to a network?
    Does it happen for messages sent to recipients within your organization, or to recipients at other domains?
    What do the SMTP protocol logs show when attempting to send the messages?
    Refer to:

    Try to stop and restart the Exchange Transport service to check this problem.

  • Error Extending 2012 R2 AD Schema for Exchange 2013 RTM/CU6/CU7 (for Office 365 attributes)

    Hello all,
    I am a sysadmin at a 3 campus school, and am trying to extend our AD schema to include Exchange 2013 attributes so that we can configure groups synced to Office 365 using DirSync. However it keeps failing at the same point each time.
    I have tried with RTM first, and then CU6, but I keep getting the same error and am unsure how to fix it.

    The Exchange Server setup operation didn't complete. More details can be found in ExchangeSetup.log located in the
    <SystemDrive>:\ExchangeSetupLogs folder.
    And ldif.err says:
    Entry DN: CN=ms-DS-GeoCoordinates-Altitude,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=kurnai,DC=lan
    Add error on entry starting on line 452: Unwilling To Perform
    The server side error is: 0x20bb Schema update failed: duplicate OID.
    The extended server error is:
    000020BB: SvcErr: DSID-032603C0, problem 5003 (WILL_NOT_PERFORM), data 8379
    An error has occurred in the program
    The schema attribute "CN=ms-DS-GeoCoordinates-Altitude,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=kurnai,DC=lan" does exist in the schema, but I don't know what to do or where to go from here.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    I just tried .\setup /PrepareAD /OrganizationName:kurnaicollege /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms, and got the exact same error as above. 
    Is there a way to delete the offending schema attributes, or to force its overwrite or something?
    EDIT: I am also getting these eventvwr errors when running /PrepareAD, if it helps:
