Office 365 Midsize Business and Project 2013 Standard (Retail)

Hi,
Can someone explain to me how to install Project Standard 2013 (retail version) alongside Office 365 Midsize Business.
I either get installation errors - "Something went wrong......" or activation errors whereby the activation code seems to be accepted (green tick) but I am then asked to link it to an email account which won't work as it is a retail version.

Hi,
"Office 365" refers to subscription plans that include access to Office applications plus other productivity services that are enabled over the Internet (cloud services), such as Lync web conferencing and Exchange Online hosted email for business,
and additional online storage with OneDrive and Skype world minutes for home.

Office 365 Midsize Business email archive

Hello. We are using Office 365 Midsize Business in our company. We have around 80 users that are using or Outlook online
or Outlook 2013.
What would be the easiest way to set up automatic archiving for all accounts, and then copy those archive files to local server, just as a backup?

I recommend that you post this in the Office 365 Exchange Online Forum:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/158.aspx

Sent emails, from replies, to email in Shared Exchange mailbox folders - Outlook 2013 - Office 365 Midsize Business

1. Outlook 2013 lets replies to emails from another folder than inbox wind up in that same folder.
Options - email - save - a checkbox
2. A registry setting lets email sent from shared exchange mailboxes wind up in the "sent objects" folder of that mailbox.

I need feature 1. to show up in the shared mailbox as well as the default mailbox. All my problems would be solved if I could have this behaviour in the inbox folder of the shared mailbox as well.
UniSent helped us with this on SBS2003 and Outlook 2003- 2007 but does the same trick as the registry setting in Office 2013.

Hi,
There is no build-in setting in Outlook to achieve this, you may try a code solution here:

Since we are not the best source for coding, if you need any assistance on the code sample, you can post a question in Outlook for Developers forum:

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:

Excel 365 Midsize Business and add component

Hello everyone, I'm Marcello.
We are migrating from Excel 2007/2010 to 365 we have a problem with an add made by us. This component does not appear in this version of excel, I ask if there are any compatibility issues with this version of excel.
I tried but I could not find anything about it, there is a compatibility mode on this version?
Thanks in advance to all.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you didn't find the compatibility mode in Office 365 Excel version. If it was, Office 365 Excel has the compatibility mode. Please read the article:

Office 365 Sharepoint Online and Infopath 2013

I'm looking create an InfoPath 2013 form where the view changes based on the current user. This is so different departments & managers get access to fields regular submitters don't see.
This is in SharePoint Online with Office 365. How can I manage this? I have tried connecting to SharePoint online via a data connection, but I get errors when it tries to make the data connection.
Are there any tutorials on how to do this, or at least something put point me in the right direction?

I'm trying to download office 365 small business package, and every time I try the website it says there is a runtime service error in the '/' application. Is this my mac or is it the website, and how can I fix it?

If a phone is sold from one friend to another and wants to use it on a different carrier the friend can contact the carrier it was sold by to request it unlocked. I know AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will give you the steps to unlock it as long as the original contract it was bought under has been completed. eBay/Craigslist is really not the best place to try to get "unlocked phones" from, if it turns out the phone isn't unlocked then I'm really sorry you got stuck with that one and as stevejobsfan said above I would report them immediately and see if you can recover your money. I sell phones for a living and this happens a lot

Upgrading from outlook 2003 and 2007 to office 365 small business outlook

We just bought office 365 small business thinking I can easily set up outlook as we did in outlook 2007.
That is creating an account using POP3 and SMTP for every individual.
I just started watching a video of how to set up the out look in office 365 and it does not make any sense to add all 30 mail boxes set up in Network solutions and work around our domain names and all sort of unnecessary complicated step to use this on line
office.
Can we just set it up the way we did in outlook 2007 without having to deal with all parties involved?
Regards;

Hi,
I suppose you used Office Customization Tool (OCT) to create the POP3 accounts for the users? With OCT it's quite easy with .prf as I can tell. However, in Office 365 we don't have OCT so that's probably why you don't know how to create the
accounts for users.
Due to the lack of related resource here, I actually suggest you post the question in Office 365 Community, where this question can be properly addressed:

Visio and Project 2013 silent install returns immediately (before install is finished)

Hi,
I am building a task sequence that will include Office 2010 ProPlus (volume license), a bunch of other products (like SQL Server and Visual Studio) and also Visio 2013 and Project 2013.
For Visio 2013 and Project 2013, I have to use the retail media (this is for use in academic computer labs and we have a single retail key through DreamSpark Premium that allows unlimited activations - I don't know why DreamSpark doesn't just give a volume
license key).
I managed to get Visio 2013 and Project 2013 to install silently by modifying the config.xml file and using the /config parameter. However, when running my install script (the usual VBScript wrapper) or just from the command line, the command returns before
setup finishes (literally within less than a second). Setup continues to run and finishes successfully, but as you can imagine, MDT considers that application install finished and tries to move on to the next application which fails because another installation
is still in progress.
I've included below the relevant portion of the VBScript wrapper. Any help in figuring out how to get the wrapper to wait for the installer to finish is appreciated.
sSetupFile = oUtility.ScriptDir & "\Source\setup.exe"
sArguments = "/config vispror.ww\config.xml"
oLogging.CreateEntry oUtility.ScriptName & ": Starting installation", LogTypeInfo
// Check for existence of setup file omitted
iRetVal = oUtility.RunWithHeartbeat("""" & sSetupFile & """ " & sArguments)
Coincidentally, iRetVal = 0 indicating success.
Thanks,
SA

Hi SA,
Obviously you use the VBS wrapper for some reason. To my understanding this behaviour needs to be captured and translated to "script is till busy, when installation completes script is finished, proceed to next step".
I can only advise you to either try the command line directly in MDT, instead of using the VBS wrapper, and/or try to create an MSP and try this in your VBS wrapper, command line directly in MDT.
MSP files are easily created by going into command prompt to the sources folder of Visio / Project and execute the following command: setup.exe /admin this will start the Office Customization Tool which enables you to create an MSP file.
When you are ready, execute the following command to install the application with the settings in the MSP: setup.exe /adminfile custom.msp
Again I can imagine the purpose of the VBS just as I can imagine the purpose of using the config.xml above a custom.msp. But for starters this should get you going to try to find an resolve where the issue lies. In the VBS or somewhere else.
Cheers!

Project 2013 Standard Licensing Transfer

I currently have 4 "1-pc" licenses for Microsoft Project 2013 Standard edition. I am curious before I deploy these licenses that if I install the program. Let's say 3 months down the road a computer decides it hates life and just dies whether
it be a motherboard or hard drive failure, would I be able to transfer the license over to a new PC or would I have to purchase a new one?
P.S. I have looked into the licensing agreement it says that some programs might not honor the universal licensing terms, but never specified what programs it doesn't honor. So I'm trying to figure out if Project is one or not.

Hi,
You will be able to transfer Project 2013 on another computer using the same product key. When you'll
activate it is possible that it will say that the key had already been acivated. You may have to call MS an activate manually.
Note that Office 2013 Products are transferable:

Queries related to Office 365 Small Business Premium Installation

I was exploring your Office website and thought to buy Office 365 Small Business Premium but was not able to understand one statement which was "Subscription to Office for up to 5 PCs/Macs and 5 Windows tablets/iPads per user"
Does the above statement mean that If I purchase 1user license of Office 365 Small Business Premium ( Cost rs 750) then I will be getting the right to install it onto 5 computers. Below is the link for your reference.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/business/compare-all-office-365-for-business-plans-FX104051403.aspx
Please reply asap.

Hi,
Yes, you can install Office applications on up to 5PCs or Macs.
As an administrator, you can deploy and manage Office 365 across your company. After adding users, per user can install Office applications up to 5 PCs/Macs or Windows tablet/iPads.

Office 365 Small Business - Public website error

Hi,
untill today I have had a working public website on my Office 365 Small Business plan. But I decided to try to change the site theme, I chose the sunflower theme in Oslo way. From the time of this change the website stoped working completely. Whatever I
do always the error page occures. I have tried everything to fix it, but without success.
Is there any way how to reset so called "new public website" to the default situation (I can not get to any historical version of the pages so I can not use the suggested way that is desribed on the help webpage.)
Thanx for your answer,
Michael

1. its hosted exchange
2. no, they wont transfer the domain. they can let microsoft manage the dns but that just involves changing the nameservers.
3. yes for mx and mail related records.
4. it depends on the current configuration, but is possible. but unless there is a reason to keep them on the other server, you can set up shared mailboxes for those addresses. these are unlicensed and there is no extra cost.

Adding Licenses for Office 365 Pro Plus and Power BI

Hello. I have one license for Office 365 Pro Plus and one Power BI license. I want to buy another Power BI license to assign to a prospective client so he can log on to my Power BI site and view Power Pivot reports in the browser. I think that I need to
purchase an additional Office 365 Pro Plus license ($12/mo) as well as an additional Power BI license ($40/mo). Is this correct?
My other question has to do with what I believe is referred to as my Organizational account. I have one for Office 365 and a different one for Power BI. That is, my logins are different for the two subscriptions. I'm not sure how this happened or even if
it's important. I have had no issues installing Office 365 on my desktop, laptop and tablet and I can upload files to my Power BI site and access them. Does it matter that my organizational accounts are different?
Finally, if I have it correct in paragraph 1 that I need an additional license for both Office 365 Pro Plus and Power BI, do I just login to the two separate organizational accounts and add a license to each one?
Thank you.
Regards
Arthur

Hi Guy. I went ahead and purchased both licenses. The Office 365 is only $12/mo so it's not a big deal.
After getting that great information from you on the other post, I contacted Microsoft support and got this issue straightened out. I did have two accounts (domains). They had me cancel my Office 365 subscriptions on the account that I purchased those subcriptions
on and then resubcribed to Office 365 on the Power BI account.
Thanks again for all of your help.

App-V 5.0: Adding Visio 2013 and Project 2013 to a previously deployed virtual Office 2013

Good morning.
I can successfully deploy Office 2013 via PowerShell and App-V v5.0 without difficulty. I've read the document at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2915745/en-us and followed all instructions successfully.
My question is this: If Office 2013 without Visio 2013 or Project 2013 is virtually deployed, how can those components be added later?
For instance, we may have 100 users that acquire a virtualized Office 2013 without Project or Visio. We then may have 25 users that require a virtualized Office and Visio without Project and, perhaps, another 15 that require Office and Project without
Visio.
Currently, when I attempt a second virtual deployment of one of these components, it removes Office 2013 making it inaccessible.
How can Project and/or Visio be deployed to an already existing virtually deployed Office 2013?
Thanks very much.
John

As a part of MDOP, you'll also have access to UE-V which will provide a mechanism of moving user preferences across the same applications from difference packages.
It will require planning, configuration and deployment, but will ensure you don't face the same issue in the future.
