Office 365/Share point one Drive site name change ?

We use Office 365 and the One drive in our organization and ADFS setup to sync users from Active Directory to create and manage users in 365. A problem we've discovered is that when a users name changes (married) I can change it in AD and that will
show in 365 but the users sharepoint site to one drive still shows the original name so for example if jsmith changed to jjones the original sharepoint onedrive site is
https://crdistrict-my.sharepoint.com/personal/jsmith_OURDOMAIN/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/Documents/Forms/All.aspx
and the new one should be
https://crdistrict-my.sharepoint.com/personal/jjones_OURDOMAIN/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/Documents/Forms/All.aspx
I found in the Admin console under sharepoint settings etc places to update the user to the new name and I make the change and hit save and close and in a few min its back to the original. It won't let me change it. Anyone else run across this

Hi,
I understand that you stay in the Office 365 admin Center, when you click the SharePoint option, you get the error page.
I recommend to enter the URL as below in the Brower to check whether the account can access SharePoint admin Center.

Stream 8 Tablet's free one year Office 365 Personal and One Drive extra spaces

1. How to enable the free one year Office 365 Personal subscription? I can only active the trial one month Office 365 Personal subscription.
2. How to active the additional storage space for One Drive with the purchase of the Stream 8 Tablet?

I called HP local support here in Hong Kong January 2, 2015 around 11:00am, after checked with my settings the HP support person promised to email me the solution/fix.
I have yet receive any such respond from HP support.
I have online chat with Microsoft Office online support, they inform me that the activation key should included in the box of the Stream 8 Tablet.
Mind you that it is against Hong Kong law "The Trade Descriptions Ordinance, Chapter 362" for 'Misleading Advertising'.

Share Point redirects my "sites" link on the O365 Portal main page - help!

Can anyone tell me how to fix an inadvertent redirect?
When I login to my O365 Portal, I am at my main page with the various tiles for Calendar, Tasks, Admin, Sites, OneDrive, etc. When I click on the "sites" tile, Share Point redirects to my "OneDrive for Business" page.
How do I get it back to the "out of the box" default, so that when I click on the "sites" tile, I end up at my Team Site page?

Hi Archid,
Per my knowledge, when we click the Sites tile, it will redirect us to the page with the sites that we are following
https://xxxxx/personal/xxxx/Social/Sites.aspx.
I recommend to right click the Sites tile and then select the Properties to see the URL of the tile.
In general, the URL of the Sites tile should be
https://xxxxx/_layouts/15/MySite.aspx?MySiteRedirect=AllSites. Please check if the URL of the Sites tile is right.
If it is the correct URL, I recommend to type the URL in the browser directly and then check the results.
In the meanwhile, you can post your question to the forum for Office 365: http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/default.aspx.
More experts will assist you, then you will get more information relation to SharePoint Online.

Working with Excel references error with Office 365 ProPlus on Shared Drive

I came across an issue with the Excel version of Office 365 ProPlus, as below described.
A.xls(x) contains formula that links to B.xls Sheet1. When working on A.xls. I decide to navigate through windows explorer and open B.xls(x). Once I do all references to Sheet1 turns into #REF of A.xls(x). And naturally all values that were previously correct
now returns #REF. Even without making any changes to B.xls(x), just opening the file cause this problem. Both these files are on the mapped network location within the same LAN. User is on Win7 & Office 365 ProPlus. The server is running on Windows 2008
R2 with no office installed. This occurred to users who are member of the AD and in Workgroup. We have tried re-installing, repairing, etc. but the problem remains the same. But if the files were on the local HDD, we didn't face the same issue.

Hi,
According to your description, this issue may be caused by the hyperlink/reference changed from relative to absolute links. For example, if you use the reference in formula, we only need to enter like this:[filename.xlsx]Sheet1'!$C$107:$C$112, when we re-open
the file, Excel will autocomplete the path, like: [C:\Mydir\filename.xlsx]Sheet1'!$C$107:$C$112.
To workaround the issue, we may update the link manually, please see the image below:
Go to Data tab>Edit link>Update value or change data source.
More references for the common scenarios of this issue:
You map a drive under the root of a share. For example, you map drive Z to \\<var>Server</var>\<var>Share</var>\Folder1.
You create links to a workbook that is stored at the mapped location after you open the file through that mapped drive.
You open the file by a UNC path.
As a consequence the link will be broken.

Users cannot save a Power View report to thier One Drive Site

I have users that have only access to a sub site where public BI reports are kept.   They want to open a public report, modify it and then save it on their personal sharepoint site.   The problem is when I open a power view report then
edit it then do a save as it does not have the "Sites" option in the list to click on so they can then click on the Social site and save it to their site. Instead it only has the Subsite. Example power users can see this
Sites
   http://companyportal
    BusinessIntelligenceCenter (site)
       SalesBI (site)
          Reports (folder)
             Public folder (folder)
The users in question only see Sales BI and down. With power users we save reports to our personal sharepoint by clicking on sites and then selecting as example
http://companysocial/personal/ken_craig site. then drilling down to where to save it. I the save as dialog box it does not allow typing in it and does not allow you to select sites.
How to get Sites in the list so they can save reports and other docs to their personal sharepoint site.
Ken Craig

Wendy,
I am sure it is permissions but that is my questions how do I give the correct permissions so they can do this. Again I do not want these users to be able to save anything on the subsite. I want them to be able to save things on their own personal
site (onedrive).
I have added a screen shot 1 of the Save AS window I receive and others who are power users. The "Sites" is the top menu item I have in this window. When I click on sites (power users) I can see things like
http://eagleviewsocial which is how I would get to my personal site (one drive). Screen shot 2.
The power users have "Visitors" permissions on the Business INtelligence Center site. They then have Members permissions on the subsite like Client Relations BI or Sales BI depending on the group they are in.
My goal is to give power user the ability to make reports on their BI sub Site (Sales BI as example) and then Read ability on the top level site Business Intelligence Center.   The second group of people and majority will have Visitor or read only
permissions on their group sub site only (Sales BI as example). They will not be able to see the top level site Business INtelligence Center.
IN all cases I want them to be able to save reports (their own customer versions) to their own sites (One drive). This way we do not clutter production sites with individual reports.

External hard drive accidnetal name changed query

Soem time ago I noticed my permenently plugged in ext. HD name had changed. It was called something like 'Photos and Video', it's now called '**'. As in two stars. Maybe the cat walked over the keybord, it certainly wasn't an intentional change. That was a couple of months ago and all still works fine, haven't had a problem accessing my iPhoto libraries stored on there. My imovie projects are a bit dodgy though - the video clips are all stored on ext. drive). I can still kind of access them, but if I play a project I only hear the sound, unless I go to full screen and then I can see visuals as well. So looks like I've lost the ability to edit any projects created before the name change, (I have about 25 projects). I've only done one iMovie project since the name change, and won't need that any more.
But it's time to do a backup of the ExHD, and I use SuperDuper which does incremental back ups. Of course now the drive has a different name I don't think it will be able to do an incremental back up, will probably have to start afresh and do a completely new back up.
So, my questions are:
Should I change the name of the ext. drive to what it used to be (I think I can remember the name)? Then I think I will be able to do the incremental back up.
Will this then sort out the iMovie problem?
Or, will this throw up other problems, ie. I've been putting photos into iPhoto libraries on the HD whilst it's had it's new name and don't want to lose any of those.
Anyone who can throw a light on this I would be grateful.
Cheers!

Definitely change the name. The asterisk is actually a wild card character, so it isn't a good idea to leave them there. There shouldn't be any problems with changing the name.

Dreamweaver CS4 - Existing Site Name Changed in Manage Sites

Please help me! I have an existing site name from Manage Sites become slightly different site name from original.
For example, existing site name was fashionstars, now become ftp://fashionstars, with ftp:// in it. ( It happen when I did some try and error approach to do certain task, or press the wrong buttons etc) Is there any possibility to change back to original name fashionstars and how to do it? Otherwise I won't be able to upload files to remote site because of different site name appeared in Manage Sites.
Should I remove the modified site name ftp://fashionstars and recreate a new site name fashionstars and copy all exiting files from local site folder to new fashionstars?
Regards,
SSYYDD

Additional information, I use MacBook Pro to run Dreamweaver CS4. The existing site has 150 MB file size, hundreds of files, so to recreate new site name, it has to start to create all manually, will take a long time. Is there any other ways I can recreate site fashionstars without to start all over again?
I am very worry about this, it may not be able to fix it. My website is stuck, won't be able to upload files any more.
Another problem is that I lost the SITE DEFINITIONS for fashionstars or htp://fashionstars . When I go to Manage Sites to edit site of ftp://fashionstars, it goes to CONFIGURE SERVER, not the SITE DEFINITIONS for fashionstars or ftp://fashionstars. Please help me.
( note that I use the name fashionstars as an example only, not my real site name)
Thank you.

External access broke after site name change

We have external access to SharePoint 2013 behind a reverse proxy using an ADFS server for authentication. It was working fine until I changed our site name and now externally it gives a 500 error. The event log says there is a problem with AAMs, but this
is a host-named site collection. The default URL for the site is correct. What am I missing here?

Hi Benjamin ,
According to your description, my understanding is that after changed the site collection hosted name of a hose-named site collection you encountered error
500 when you wanted to access the site collection from external.
For your issue, please refer to the blog for renaming site collections in SharePoint 2013:

Help! How do I undo a Site Name change?

Stupid me typed in a new Site Name in Site Inspector and then hit update. Now, instead of typing in http://web.mac.com/toreadornottoread to get to mywebsite, people have to type in a ton of stuff that I never wanted. I simply mis-understood what the "Site Name" under Inspector, Site Inspector was for. I want to undo it, but it wont let me. Every time I erase the name I put into the "Site Name" box and try to update I just get an error beep. Please help. How do I undo what I did and take my site back to its original name/web address?
Drew

people have to type in a ton of stuff
When you click on this
http://web.mac.com/toreadornottoread
do you not get to your site?
What was the original name?
Have you tried simply double clicking on the site name in the organizer over at the left and renaming it there?

Unable to unshare a share point due to forced drive (volume) name change.

I just upgraded a single CPU G4 Xserve from 10.3.9 to 10.5.2. I have run into a bug that I found discussed in another thread here; the bug that two drives on the server cannot have very similar names or it leads to the File Sharing pane in Server admin being unable to access and control the permissions of that drive. I had two drives, Poseidon I (boot drive) and in the second slot, Poseidon II. I have a sharepoint called Prepressfiles inside Poseidon II. After the upgrade I could not access the volumes permissions due to the aforementioned bug (the thread I just responded to should come up right under this posting). Well, once I changed the name (to PPFiles) I could then access the volume as well as being able to rehare the sharepoint, however it automatically renamed it Prepressfiles (1) which means I would have to go and change a lot of things elsewhere, obviously. Well, I can't delete the old sharepoint which is why the new one has the (1) in the name added automatically, because that volume doesn't exist anymore, and if I change the name back, I can't deleted the sharepoint either because of the naming bug!!!
How can I manually delete this sharepoint from the Server Admin, as that seems the only way I can at this point. I need to be able to rename the drive as I did and then reshare the sharepoint as plain old 'Prepressfiles'.
MANY THANKS!!!!

Hi Abiebelcap,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you have configured a new URL for the newly created web application in Configure alternate access mapping in Central Administration.
If that is the case, please make sure that the two things below have been done:
1. Make sure that the host header used in the new URL have been added in the DNS server and it points to the IP address of the server where the web application runs.
For example, I used the host header called test:
2. Make sure that binding for the new URL is added to the web application in Internet Information Services(IIS).
Open IIS, right click the site of the newly created web application and select Edit bindings.
After that, you can access the site collections inside the new web application from the new URL.

Office 365 Streaming Notifications, "One or more subscriptions in the request reside on another Client Access server."

Hello all,
I am maintaining a part of our product that requires monitoring mailboxes for events. This is currently being done by using streaming connections for getting the notifications. Our solution has been successful for situations with smaller numbers
of mailboxes, ~200 or less. However we are seeing some issues when scaling up to say, 5000 mailboxes.
The error and the sequence leading up to it are as follows:
Make an Exchange Service Account.
exchSvc.ConnectionGroupName = someGroupName;
add to the httpheaders ("X-AnchorMailbox", userSmtp) and ("X-PreferServerAffinity", "true");
create a new impersonated UserId for the userSmtp address that is our anchor mailbox.
set the Exchange Service account ImpersonatedUserID to the one we just made.
ExchangeServiceAccount.SubscribeToStreamingNotifications(new FolderId[] { WellKnownFolderName.Inbox }, _mailEvents);
to this point everything was successful, saw no error messages.
we create a second impersonated UserID for a different mailbox, and repeat the process above from that step forward. Upon the final step, subscribing to the streaming notifications we get the error:
Exception: Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ServiceResponseException: One or more subscriptions in the request reside on another Client Access server. GetStreamingEvents won't proxy in the event of a batch request.
This is only the second subscription that we are trying to add to this connection, and it is to a different mailbox than the first.
Can anyone please help point me to where this is going wrong?

>> Is there a good way to verify the number of subscriptions in a group?
Not that I know of you should be tracking this in your code there are no server side operations in EWS to even tell you if there are active subscriptions on a mailbox.
>>The error I am getting is on the second subscription in a new group, just after doing the anchor mailbox so I don't think we are hitting the 200 limit.
It's hard to say without seeing your code but it sounds like there is problem with your grouping code. One way to validate this is that with every request you make with the EWS managed API there is a
RequestId header http://blogs.msdn.com/b/exchangedev/archive/2012/06/18/exchange-web-services-managed-api-1-2-1-now-released.aspx
you should be able to give that RequestId to the Office365 support people and they should be able to check the EWS Log on the server and tell you more about what's happening (it maybe server side bug). Something doesn't quite add up in that the X-BackEndOverrideCookie
is what ultimately determines what server the request ends up at and the error is essentially telling you its ending up at the wrong server (have you looked at the headers on the error message?). Is it always one group of users that fails have
you tried different groups and different combinations etc.
Cheers

Exchange Online Office 365 integration questions

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 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.
Best Regard,
Jim

Office 365 (Word) and Onedrive comparability issue

I have successfully used MS Mesh / Skydrive /
OneDrive for years to sync my documents/PDFs folder between my desktop, laptop, phone, and iPad. A month or so ago I purchased Office 365 and it caused all sorts of havoc in my Onedrive folder. The thrust of the issue seems to
involve Office 365 and Skydrive getting in the way of each other while trying to keep the documents up to date. As skydrive tries to upload changes to a folder with Docs in it, a few of the documents will not update (leaving the red mark on the document
icon instead of the blue check-mark showing it is up-to-date). Office 365 share point will also give a list of documents that it was unable to sync (the list matches the trouble files in Skydrive). Once this error hits a file, all of the content
for the document is zero'ed out (and the file size decreases to 0 KB). Thankfully, thus far this has only caused me to lose data from old, unimportant files. This morning I lost data from an important file, but I had a backup of it saved in my
email.
I've tried a bit of my own trouble shooting. At first I thought that the issue revolve around documents created in earlier editions of Word, so I created a folder in my Onedrive that was populated only with Office 365 Word documents, but this
did not resolve the issue.
It seems as if this problem affects documents randomly.
My hunch is that it occurs when Office 365's sharepoint tries to update a file at the same time Onedrive is updating the file.
I also use the iPad app PDF expert to access my skydrive folder on the iPad (because I store PDF's in the folders as well), but I don't believe it to be the issue because: (1) it worked perfectly fine before I installed 365, and (2) the problem
with Onedrive and Office 365 persisted after I disabled PDF Expert's sync with the Onedrive.
Note: Office 365 worked fine until I used it to upgrade the version of Office installed on my computer.
I do not want to be forced to keep my Word documents separate from my Onedrive folder as I store numerous non-Word documents in my Onedrive folder as well and need to save them in folders with Word docs.
Thank you.

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!

Office 365 + Sharepoint Login page Branding + external user

Hi,

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn532270.aspx
Is branding is possible to log-in in office 365 share point of Organization accounts and as well as external user also log-in through custom branding log-in page?
i have required custom branding for office 365 login page for external user??
please suggest me to full fill my requirement.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want that external user log-in through custom branding log-in page.
You don’t need to custom branding for office 365 login page for external user.
You can custom solution to capture user credentials and pass them to master login page.
