Office 365 integrations

Hi Guys,
I am about to setup a pilot and wanted to ask a few questions.
I am planning a multi-domain exchange deployment...where I am hosting my main email on site with a domain of company.com and I want to host 1.company.com and 2.company.com on my office 365 Exchange online implementation. To do this do I have to define the
new domains on my current exchange server and then setup the users on office 365?
one of the things that my user base wants is single sign on but they won't be using rich clients. I know this works well for rich clients, but can single sign on also sign on to Office 365 web and one drive?
I will be implementing ADFS and DIrSync for AD replication and ADFS for single sign on.
How does licensing work? if my entire directory replicates to Office 365 and I only want some users over there activated, how do those I want activated. Can I easily activated a bunch of users for only some services at one time? If I deactivate or delete
an account locally, will  those changes take at office 365? How does that work with licensing? do my licenses get automatically freed up?

Hi,
For this issue, I recommend you post to Office 365 forum which is staffed by more experts specializing in this kind of problems, you might get better help there. Thanks for understanding.

  • Issue with Office 365 integration module

    I have an issue with the Office 365 integration module on one of my customer's Windows Server 2012 Essentials servers.
    Recently they switched to a new Office 365 plan, but the integration module still thinks the customer is on the old plan. This doesn't seem to affect functionality at all, so I think it's just cosmetic. On the Office 365 tab of the Windows Server Essentials
    dashboard, under Subscription it lists the old plan and says the subscription has expired. Under Licenses it says "your subscription includes 0 licenses" and "0 licenses are assigned to user accounts."
    Steps I've tried to resolve this issue:
    Created a new Office 365 test user account (after switching plans) and then on the Windows Server 2012 Essentials dashboard clicked 'Change the Office 365 administrator account.' This made no difference.
    Uninstalled and then reinstalled the Office 365 integration module. Again, this made no difference.
    I suspected there might be an issue in the Office 365 back-end, where the customer's Office 365 account was somehow still associated with the old plan, but they said that wasn't the case.
    I opened a service request with Office 365 support about the issue with the server dashboard, but this was their response: "As we are online service support team, we provide limited support on local application extension...you may need to contact the
    Windows Server support team for further help."
    As it seems to be just a cosmetic issue, I'm not going to open a paid service request with the Windows Server support team, but I'm interested to know if anyone on the forum has struck this issue before or has any suggestions.

    Not seen this issue myself, you may be right in that it Is just a cosmetic issue, and I would be surprised if a fix was forthcoming even if you opened a case (or we opened a case for you) due to resources having shifted to the Windows 10.
    You could grab the OIM logs from programdata\windowsserver\logs and we can see if there is anything obvious in there.

  • Do Office 365 integration now (2003) or after upgrade (2012 R2)?

    A client has Server 2003 Standard and are going to migrate to Office 365 very soon (from a hosted mail provider, POP). They are also due for a server upgrade, likely Server 2012 R2 Standard. To eliminate the hassle of managing two different systems for their
    Windows accounts and email accounts I thought I'd run Federation Services for the Office 365 integration. The problem is they are still trying to find a way to budget for the server upgrade, so it's starting to look like I may have to integrate O365 with 2003
    instead of 2012 R2.
    I assume its better to integrate Office 365 with 2012 R2 than 2003. If so, why?
    If I do integrate with 2003, what type of issues can I expect when I finally upgrade to 2012 R2 (i.e., link between AD or federation services and O365 break, can't manage email from Server 2012 R2 dashboard because feature wasn't available in 2003)?

    The most important question is, "Does your client currently use Exchange 2003?" Next question is, "Are they planning on running a hybrid Exchange setup?" Information about the current server(s) and its/their role(s) would be good to know too.
    At our workplace, We had a 2003/2008/2008 R2 server cluster, with one of the 2003's running Exchange 2003 with 500 mailboxes. If I had known then what I know now, I would have run a cutover migration ASAP. Our AD wasn't current in the Users and Computers
    section, so we thought we'd save money by cleaning up the directory, then run a hybrid with the complimentary version of Exchange 2010 that comes with O365 E3. After a while we realized that there were no real advantages for our company to run the hybrid,
    so we decided on a cutover. During that conversation, our Exchange server died. We went online with a CSV dump of the AD, archived the old database, and imported PST's on demand.
    I take it since your client is strapped for cash, the won't be doling out for Exchange 2010 or 2013. You may also know by now that Exchange 2003
    will not run on any edition of Server 2008 or 2012, so they're going to have to drop it.
    So, the gameplan I propose to you is this:
    1) If you have less that 1,000 mailboxes, run a cutover migration ASAP. If you have unused accounts, clean them out after you make the migration and cancel them in the pricing. The web panel is really easy to use, and the Powershell module is great too.
    2a) When (or if) the client is able to acquire 12R2, check the DC first. Some companies have internal domains named "domain" or "company.local". If they plan to do AD Synchronization (I guess for Single Sign-On), that's not going to work. The FQDN must be
    mapable to a top-level Internet domain (e.g. .com, .org, .net), and they may have to create a new domain (or even forest) to become compliant. Check this now, and factor it into your pricing.
    2b) If 2a is an issue, you may have to install 12 on a separate machine/VM because two forests can't reside on one DC (security issues). If not, upgrade the DC.
    3)Run the AD check to make sure the domain is good for synchronization, then sync.
    4)It is highly recommended that you do not run federation services on a domain controller, because that would expose it to web traffic. See: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc778681(WS.10).aspx . If possible, run it on a separate machine. 12 Standard
    comes with two licenses for 12 running on a Hyper-V host, so you may consider that if the hardware permits. Keep in mind there can be issues with running a domain controller on a virtual machine (I do, and while I know it's not the most secure setup in the
    world, most of our firewalling is done at the hardware level). Decide on how you want to situate FS, then bring it online. Recommended practice is to have it in a DMZ, and of course you shouldn't put a DC there.
    5) Make sure your certs are good (you have to use a separate subdomain [e.g. fs.company.com] for FS than the internal one), then activate FS. Remember that certificates costs money, but you should only need a domain validation one.
    Truth be told, I wouldn't recommend FS for a client that can't afford Server 12. Sit down with them and ask for concrete examples of what they presently do and what they are trying to do. Also ask them if they have the staff to maintain an Active Directory
    that is bound to O365 (probably not). During this talk, do not use words like "sync" and "cloud"; they are buzzwords that are certainly misguiding the decision makers. You do not need to have federation in order to use OneDrive with your desktop Excel or to
    "access your files from anywhere". If they start to do a lot of SaaS in the future, then they may want to reconsider.
    Final Note: Don't bother doing anything with 2003 if you can avoid it. Scrap it as soon as you can. Microsoft ended support for it on the 8th, and O365 support isn't going to help you with it when you eventually need to call (and you will).

  • Windows Server 2012 Essentials - Office 365 Integration Module Set Up Error

    We receive an error when setting up the Office 365 Integration Module.  After we type in the admin credentials for Office 365, it attempts to configure, but then states it couldn't complete and try a reboot of the server.  We've rebooted multiple
    times, but still face same error.  The users in Exchange Online get displayed after closing and reopening the Dashboard, but no other settings like subscription/domain information are pulled into the dashboard.  When we click in Users on the Dashboard
    and attempt to assign an Office 365 account to an AD account, the Dashboard closes.  Any ideas on what's happening?  This Win 2012 Essentials has all Windows updates applied. 
    Thanks,
    Dave

    My Dashboard Issue was resolved (Susan Bradley Helped Generated A Support Ticket) when i asked the SharePoint Online support to revert my Primary's Site Language from Greek to English. I was one of the first to report this problem and i was working with
    Server support for almost 2 months. You don't have the option to set the Language of your Primary site while you activate your Office 365 Subscription. It enables the Primary Language from your Location settings i believe.
    Once My main SharePoint Master Site was revert to English (US) my Libraries synced OK with no Dashboard Crashing.....

  • Autodiscover not working correctly when Office 365 integrated with Server Essentials 2012 R2

    Hello!
    This last weekend I setup our server as new and to ease the creation of users, integrated with our Office 365 (which to this point has worked fine) and imported the users. This had a somewhat unexpected side effect in that the import used the email address
    as for the user forename and then synced that change back to Office 365 and so needed to enter this information back in on the dashboard which synced back to Office 365. This may or may not have any relevance to our issue below.
    I should also point out that we have our own domain name so within the original Office 365 setup we had just one .onmicrosoft.com user with all the rest setup with our own domain name.
    At the weekend when it came to the client install, Outlook (2010 or 2013) would fail on the autodiscover with it asking again for credentials but critically displaying a server name of .contoso.com rather than the office365srvr.contoso.com . As I mention,
    Office 365 had been operating fine for some time and DNS records where checked and have been set for sometime. I spoke to Office 365 support and after a while come up with a temporary solution (so that I could complete the client installs) of assigning each
    user a onmicrosoft address, using that in the new account wizard to pick up the server correctly and then signing in the the Office 365 .contoso.com credentials.
    This worked OK to get us past the weekend (although I am having to reset up profiles on quite number of users where they get disconnected but with no credentials box appearing) but isn't a solution. The clients do not see public folders or their archives
    and of course we don't want to keep having to reset the profiles.
    I'm think that there must be something in the internal network that needs reconfiguring but I don't know what. I have tried pointing the client to an external DNS server just in case the internal DNS server was throwing the autodiscover out but this has
    made no difference.

    Ah - solved my own problem.
    Despite the domain DNS record looking OK and the Office 365 Portal domain checker not highlighting any issue, it looks as though the autodiscover is picking up an imap account provided by the web host.
    I've added an alias on the local DNS server to point to the Office 365 autodiscover server and this has solved the problem.

  • Exchange Server 2013 and Office 365 Integration

    If we are using Exchange Server 2013 on premise, can we have 2 of our users integrated with Office 365 so that they can utilize their Exchange Server email account with the apps and features of Office 365?

    Hi,
    You can deploy a hybrid environment using Exchange 2013 CU2 or later version with Office 365.
    Could you please tell me what do you mean by "we have 2 of our users integrated with Office 365 so that they can utilize their Exchange Server email account with the apps and features of Office 365"?
    Here is my understanding: You create these two mailboxes on Exchange 2013, but you need to allow for redirection from the on-premises OWA environment to the Office 365 OWA. If that is your case, you need to specify a target URL for your organization(for
    example, www.outlook.com/contoso.com). If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
    For more information, here is an article for your reference.

  • Essentials Experience on member server - Office 365 Integration

    A. Windows Server Essentials Experience on 2012 R2
    B. Office 365 (existing subscription)
    Attempt to run wizard for integration with Azure AD/ Office 365 results in "This task must be performed on the domain controller".  At this stage there is only one, has ever only been one, domain controller in the forest.  Fresh
    install of a DC, no previous Essentials components ever existed.
    So, how do you run the integration components on the DC?
    DC doesn't have the wizard links in the %systemroot%\System32\Essentials directory.  Attempting to run it over the network fails (accessing via Explorer).  I hesitate to install DIRSYNC to the DC or any other components, thinking it won't have
    the Dashboard integration (required).  Can't find documentation of the configuration anywhere, but WSEE is supported as a member server, so why is there only documentation for installation to a DC?  Even tried using remote dashboard access, obviously
    this failed miserably because the remote dashboard is just a RDS published app.
    Tried the Office 365 folks asking if they had any documentation for the process, met with "contact the WSE team, not an Office 365 issue", even though it's a connector to their setup, and at least they could have something to indicate whether it's
    supported or a "how to".  Nada on TechNet, it all refers to the Essentials server, not Essentials Experience.  Bing search spits out lots of references to the articles about WSEE on domain member support, but nothing about features within
    WSEE supported on a domain member.

    I just built this up in Azure.
    1 DC VM
    1 Essentials VM (member server w/Role)
    I can confirm i see the same behaviour.
    This is an error from PowerShell which explains perhaps, a little more:
    PS C:\Users\dfunk.TR> Enable-WssIntuneIntegration
    Enable-WssIntuneIntegration : The service can only be integrated on Essentials server running as single domain
    controller in the network.
    At line:1 char:1
    + Enable-WssIntuneIntegration
    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Enable-WssIntuneIntegration], InvalidOperationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidOperation,Microsoft.WindowsServerSolutions.Administration.EnableWssIntuneIntegrat
    ion
    So, it would seem that these integration features are currently, only applicable to an Essentials network with a single DC, but when that DC is also the Essentials Server.
    If only we had bugged it in the recent past..

  • Server 2012 essentials Office 365 integration

    I have a couple clients on 2012 Essentials that I've migrated from SBS 2011. I have also moved the clients to Office 365. I have the users setup in the dashboard, and assigned to an Office 365 account.Is there a way to check password sync between server and o365? I have had clients change their passwords online, which I know breaks the sync, but shouldn't a change on the computer re-enable that sync? Short of unassigning/reassinging (which makes the user change their password on next login), is there a way to re-sync the passwords? It almost seem easier to just not have any integration as none of the user accounts seem synced at this time, and I've only had one user out of dozens actually change their password online....Compounding the issue is that with multiple devices, such as phones, and tablets, you may be prompted to change your...

    Hi Emil,
    Thank you for your question.
    There are two sentences I don’t understand: 
    Leave both environments as is 
    Would this work also (X500 addresses would be written and updated, move requests would work, F/B, etc)?
    AD trust is important for us to share organization information between ADs.
    AAD has capability which AD and Exchange multi-forest forest environment can be extended to cloud, so we could not run it in both AD environment. There is a alternative solution which use FIM. We could refer to the following link:
    http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/active-directory-whatis/
    If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.

  • 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.

  • Scan to Sharepoint Online (Office 365)

    I'm looking for a solution that allows me to scan a document and upload directly to Sharepoint online.
    We use CRM 2011 online and am going to integrate Sharepoint as part of Office 365 so that each account in CRM has a sharepoint folder. What I need to do is scan a document directly into this account folder quickly and easily.
    Can anyone please recommend a scanner that has the ability to do this out of the box, or perhaps a decent bit of software that would allow me to use our existing Dell 2335 MFP to do the same thing?
    The key thing we need is to minimise the number of steps required and the complexity of the process so that training required is minimal.
    Thanks

    KnowledgeLake is releasing Connect 5.0 that allows the user to scan and upload directly to Office 365.
    Connect 5.0 Coming Soon!
    Here at KnowledgeLake we’re extremely excited for the forthcoming Connect 5.0 release. This new

  • CUCM 8.6.2.20000-2 integrated with Office 365?

    Hi people,
    VOICE MAIL APPLICATION:
    Does anybody knows something like that? How to integrate with Cisco Unified Communication Manager 8.6? It is similar the integration with Exchange 2010?
    Best regards,
    Daniel

    Unless you can create a SIP trunk on Office 365 and allow traffic to pass between CUCM and Office 365 across the SIP trunk it would not work. Cisco never supported any Exchange UM for voicemail, it works, but if you have issues Cisco is not going to help you there. No different here, if you can get it to work based on the above, then support is on you.

  • Office 365 (Word) Onedrive integration on a Mac

    Friends, I have recently started using a Mac computer. I've been trying to understand how does the integration of  Office 365 (Word)  and Onedrive work on a Mac, yet had no success so far. These is the problem:
    When using Office 365 (Word) on a Windows computer, whenever I wanted to open or save a file I was asked if I wanted to open or save it locally or on my Onedrive folders. The integration of Word and Onedrive on a Mac seems very poor, unless I am missing something here. On a Mac it seems that once I start Word, if I want to open a Onedrive file I have to go out of the application to do it. I have to go to the Onedrive folder where my file is located and then open it, which will result on Word opening it. Is there any way to, just as in a Windows environment, open and save files to Onedrive without having to leave Word?
    Hope someone can help me here.

    The solution is very simple.
    You have to install Microsoft OneDrive from the Mac AppStore. It synchronizes your OneDrive folders to the Mac. Afterwards, you usually find a OneDrive folder in your Home folder. From there, you can access all files as usual. If you change any file, it will be synchronized in both ways (Mac to OneDrive, OneDrive to Mac).
    I use this on a daily basis and have no problems with it.
    Have a nice day!

  • Problems with Lync integration in App-V Package for Office 365 ProPlus

    We have problems with setting Lync 2013 to automatic start after Windows start with Office 365 ProPlus App-V Package made by Office Deployment Tool. We use latest version for both (ODT and download package) at Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.
    We have done this for Lync 2010 and also for Lync 2013 (MSI installations) and it works correctly.
    User can choose to start Lync automatically, but this settings is ignored and in virtual registry is set wrong. We look for possible ways to set this by GPO (in ADMX is not this option available) by inserting in virtual registry with Package ID and user
    SID in registry path.

    Usually setting apps to auto start sets a registry key under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, but since this registry key is inside the virtual environment, Windows does not read it at logon.
    The workaround is to either set this key in the native registry (perhaps by an App-V script), or easier still, just copy the shortcut to the Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder. Since you can't really modify Office 2013 packages with the sequencer, you'd
    have to add this shortcut by modifying the deployment config file.
