Office 365 Split domain question

Is it possible to run an on-premise Lync hosting 1 SIP domain, with on premise Exchange running a specific email domain say company1.com
Then have Office 365 host two other SIP and email domains. Company2.com and company3.com
I am trying to get my head around this configuration, or if it's even possible.

It's documented by TechNet:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj205157.aspx
For outside documentation, a lot of what I'm seeing is outdated, so TechNet may be your best source for up to date information.
And the answer to the DNS question is, it depends. If you're Office365 only for those sip domains, and on premises only for the other sip domain, it doesn't necessarily even need to be a hybrid deployment. That said, if it is and users can
cross from on premises to off, the DNS records should point at the on premises deployment:
"When creating DNS SRV records for hybrid deployments, the records, _sipfederationtls._tcp.<domain> and _sip._tls.<domain>, should point to the on premises Access Proxy."
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj205403.aspx
Once they hit the on premises, they will be redirected to the online deployment if that's where their account is homed.

Office 365: some basic questions

Hi,
I've read somewhere that Office 365 will offer unlimited storage via OneDrive.
If that's true, I'd like to sign up for an paying account.
I had a trial running some time ago for my private domain but didn't continue the trial.
What I'd like to have:
-unlimited storage for best price
-use my own domain in my mailaddress/outlook account => then I'd need a business account?
-share documents from onedrive to people who don't have a onedrive
Please advise.

Hi Jan,
Here are a few references for your question:
All Office 365 customers will get unlimited OneDrive storage at no additional cost, Microsoft has just announced this:
https://blog.onedrive.com/office-365-onedrive-unlimited-storage/
You can add a domain that you’re already using for email into Office 365 and use it with email and other services:
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Add-your-domain-to-Office-365-ffdb2216-330d-4d73-832b-3e31bcb5b2a7?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
Of course, you can share a document to people for unauthenticated access, you can do this by creating a gest link.
By the way, this is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office client. There is not so much about Office 365 subscription/plan aspects here, I would suggest you to post in the dedicated
Office 365 Community, where you can get more experienced responses:

Office 365 Litigation Hold Questions

Our organization is going to Office 365 from Google Apps, and we were trying to figure out the best way to approach legal holds. First of all, I have heard two rumors that I couldn't find a specific answer for.
First, Is litigation hold being deprecated? I have seen claims from other users online saying that they receive this prompt, but we never received such a prompt and it seems to work fine.
Second, we also heard through a random vendor that license agreements only allow 15% of users in an organization to be on Litigation holds. I could not find an account of this anywhere online, either...wasn't sure if this is true.
If the two above criteria are true, what we want to do is have ALL users on our domain to have their email held for 1 year, regardless of if they delete it. Is the Litigation hold the proper option for this, or should we use In-Place
hold or Journaling? Litigation hold seems to work well for us so far (we are in trials with about 20 users), but I wasn't sure if the above claims were valid.

Hi,
You might want to take a look at this blog post from The Exchange Team Blog:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/12/11/litigation-hold-and-in-place-hold-in-exchange-2013-and-exchange-online.aspx
"In Exchange 2013 and the new Exchange Online, we introduced In-Place Hold, which allows more flexibility in preserving your data. "
But you still can use the Litigation Hold in Exchange 2013 and Exchange Online.
"Litigation Hold isn't going away: Since the release of Exchange 2013 and the new Exchange Online, we've received a lot of questions and feedback from you about whether Litigation Hold
will be removed. We want to clarify that we do not plan to remove Litigation Hold from Exchange Online or Exchange 2013."
The "litigation hold is a deprecated feature" alert has been removed.
"We've removed the alert from Exchange Online and in Exchange
2013 SP1. We've also removed the recommendation from Exchange Online and Exchange 2013 documentation."
Also, this forum focuses on questions and feedback for Microsoft Office client. There is not so much about the Plan/Hosted/Cloud aspects of Office 365. I would suggest you to post in the forum of

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.

Office 365 RDS licensing question

Dustin, take a look at this when you get a chance: http://blogs.technet.com/b/uspartner_ts2team/archive/2014/09/03/office-365-shared-computer-activatio...
It explains how the Pro Plus version can be installed in RDS/TS environment, and I get the feeling that it is the only version that can be installed that way.
It also notes that installing Office 365 Pro Plus on an RDS/TS machine does not take away from the 5 device cap.

Office 365 has nothing to do with RDS.
If a user has an Office 365 license then they can use that license wherever they log on from. So if the are using a RDS session on a server then they can use there Office 365 license there. Please note that an Office 365 license allows you to install the full suite on 5 devices and the RDS server would be one of these devices.
Connecting to the RDS server is entirely different. In order to connect they user or device must have a RDS license.
The 2 are unrelated.
I assume from the context of your question that you already have the RDS environment set up and working so it is as simple as installing the office 365 suite onto the RDS server and allowing the 3 users to use it.

Office 365 Group Policies question

We initially deployed Office 365 with updates turned off so about half of our users have an old version of Office 365. We want to now manage the updates using the new group policies for O365. I read this statement ...In
order for these four new policy settings to work, you will need to have at least the April 2014 build of Office 2013 Click-to-Run (Build 15.0.4605.1003) and download the latest Administrative templates files (ADMX/ADML).
Does this mean that the version on the PC has to have at least the April 2014 build to use the policies? If that's true how would I go about updating the users who have automatic updates turned off. there are a couple of thousand users.

Does this mean that the version on the PC has to have at least the April 2014 build to use the policies? If that's true how would I go about updating the users who have automatic updates turned off. there are a couple of thousand users.
Yes.
Depending on how you deployed/deploy Office365ProPlus, and, the tools/techniques available to you in your environment, there are some options.
a) re-deploy Office365ProPlus to the computers. Use the latest build version.
b) check the relevant registry settings, and if correction is needed, deploy the correct registry settings.
These articles may help you to determine which of the multiple scenarios you have to deal with:

Add new Office 365 to Azure after removing existing Office 365

Hi All,
A little convoluted, but I am struggling here.
First, some history.
I created an initial Office 365 account (via Telstra). The tenant domain for this is initialO365.onmicrosoft.com. I added a custom domain my-domain.com.
Sometime later, I created an Azure Subscription. Access to the Azure subscription was via my Microsoft Account.
Via support, I had the Office 365 my-domain.com associated with (I guess, via the Active Directory Directory) the Azure Subscription.
The end result was that I was able to logon to both Office 365 and Azure via the my-domain.com domain.
All was well.
Recently...
Due to some limitations with Office 365 via Telstra, I signed up for a new Office 365 account directly with Microsoft. The tenant for this domain is newO365.onmicrosoft.com.
I manually migrated the mailboxes between Office 365 accounts, and I also moved the domain from the old Office 365 to the new Office 365.
In terms of the new Office 365, all is well. I can logon via my-domain.com without issue.
What I now want to do is remove the association of the old Office 365 account from Azure, and add the new Office 365 account.
The end result will be that the old Office 365 account (initialO365.onmicrosoft.com) is cancelled and deleted, and I am then able to logon to Azure and the new Office 365 via my-domain.com.
I simply cannot get this to happen
I've tried to just add the my-domain.com domain to the existing directory in Azure (I've added the TXT record to the domain) but when I verify I get the following error:
Could not verify this domain because it was previously configured for your tenant or for another tenant.
I think I need to add a new Directory linked to the Office 365 tenant, but I am unable to do this (anytime I go to add a new Directory, I DO NOT get the option to select an existing one).
I do have a current support ticket, but it's taken over a week now and I'm not really getting far - I don't believe that they understand what I want to do.
My previous experience with getting this done lead me to believe that this was a simple-ish type of exercise, but I am stuck.
Any ideas?

Hi Brendan,
Thanks for posting here!
1. My-domain.com is still associated with initialO365.omicrosoft.com. You would like to add this domain with with newO365.onmicrosoft.com.
A1: First logon to old tenant "initialO365.onmicrosoft.com" and remove any association for "my-domain.com" from any objects (users/groups/applications) and then remove the domain "my-domain.com" from the directory. Once you
remove it, you will be allowed to add it back to the second tenant "newO365.onmicrosoft.com" after verifying the same using a TXT entry.
2. You would like to link the Azure Subscription to the new AAD tenant newO365.onmicrosoft.com
A2: First add the MSA to Newo365.onmicrosoft.com as a Global Admin (GA). Then under Settings on Azure Management Portal, click edit directory and select the new directory to link the Azure subscription to. Add GA for newo365.onmicrosoft.com as a co-admin
on the Subscription before they attempt to login.
Hope this answers your query.

Sadiqh

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.

Can I change providers of my Office 365 Business?

I have a customer with Office 365 Business who wants to use me as his retailer for this service instead of his current provider, is there any way of changing this or do I have to set this up as a new service?
Thanks for your help.
Peter

Office 365 - SharePoint 2013 Online - App Domain

I have noticed that Microsoft itself using the same domain for app.
example :
hosting URL (office 365) : http://*.sharepoint.com
App domain : http://*.sharepoint.com
According to TechNet: "You must configure a new name in Domain Name Services (DNS) to host the apps. To help improve security, the domain name should not be a subdomain of the domain that hosts the SharePoint sites. "
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161236%28v=office.15%29.aspx
my second question is that how app will work for vanity urls (host-named site collections)
like... https://portal.domainA.com, https://share.domainB.com and so on...
thanks.
ja

firstly on-premise bits can also be used to offer multi tenancy.
Inder : Yes it can be used for multi tenancy but it is rarely used. Which is why they share same service application and other settings. where in case of multi tenancy, security is taken into consideration and all service application are created in partitioned
mode. this helps not to share data between sites and security is maintained.
second part of your comments not much clearer..
below mentioned sites exists on the same web app.
1. site collection url : https://test.domain.com app url will be https://test-629dbe9907ec81.domain.com/app-name
Inder: There will always be one URL for app which will be used by all web applications and host header site collection.
Your app URL will be app.domain.com which will be used for all web application\site collections http://123.domain.com, http://456.domain.com, http://newdomain.com,
http://anothernewdomain.com
2. site collection url : https://portal.test.com app url ? and where to configure that.
Inder: This app.domain.com URL does work for https sites. :)
means unlimited app domains in SharePoint. or we are bound to use single domain for all?
Inder: Yes, single domain for app apps

Multiple domain distibution groups in one office 365

At our company we run a few domains on our office 365, as such we want to have an "allusers" group for each domain, but for that I would really like a script that will go through all the users and check their domain name, and just make a simple
if statement to sort them. what i really need is the command that allows me to get their domain name or how to make a proper if statement that can handle the problem
thank you very much for your help
Beyir

here is another wierd question, i found a workaround, ill show you how my script is looking now (not complete)
$counter = 0
foreach ($Mailbox in Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited)
$string = $Mailbox.PrimarySmtpAddress
$string = get-User -identity pms
Write-host "StringLength is: " $string.Length
Write-host $counter $Mailbox.PrimarySmtpAddress
$counter = $counter+1
I still need to change some stuff around, but what i really want to know is how to make the @mailbox.primarysmtpaddres into a string so i can compare them (need to compare length of email add to determine if it is a user or not)
