Office Templates being pushed to all Office 365 users

Hello, I want to push out a PowerPoint, word, excel templates to all the users in my office 365 domain, so when they open a word document they have the option to choose a master template. Is there a way to do that in a Non-Active Directory environment. I
noticed a Client - Share Documents in my PowerPoint, but I can't seem to find where that is? I have figured how it is suppose to work, but I am having trouble. I have been sent to a few different forums now, I am hoping that I do not keep getting bounced.
Office seems to point to a library called Clients-Shared Documents. My home site is called FCRL Home (not sure what it used to be). It may have been clients at the beginning, but it is not now. I do have a site called clients, but it is way down in the hierarchy,
and changing that template document does not seem to work. I still have not found where the library it is looking too, any other suggestions?
A couple of other questions:
How do I change the document library in which it looks for the templates? is that not possible?
Is it always the first library in the team site it looks too?

-Active Directory environment and we are unable to deploy Office template through GPO. However, you may check this:http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-foundation-help/set-a-file-template-for-a-document-or-form-library-HA010377912.aspx
Furthermore, to begin to get a handle on corporate documents and themes, I highly recommend Stephanie Krieger's book, Documents, Presentations, and Workbooks: Using Microsoft Office to Create Content That Gets Noticed- Creating Powerful Content with Microsoft
Office. This is a documentation on creating advanced Word (and other) templates and documents and Office themes. It includes some info on deployment also that should be helpful to you.

Office 365 user Id and Azure

I am trying to use Azure with my Office 365 account. I have a home version of Office 365 (the one for 5 users). When I try and do this I get the following message:
"Sign out of your Microsoft account and sign in with the Office 365 user ID assigned to you by your work or school.
Sign in with the Office 365 user ID assigned to you by your work or school. It looks like [email protected], [email protected], or [email protected]"
I am using the only account I have for Office 365. I don't have another User Id. Does this mean my account is not entitled to use Azure?

Hello,
Microsoft Office 365 account does not give access to Microsoft Azure. These are different products.
You can sign-up for a
Trial Version of Microsoft Azure to start off with. You can also find the

Find all Office 365 users where calendar permissions on default user is not "NonEditingAuthor"

Hi
How do I make a Powershell script to find all users where calendar permissions on "default" user is not "NonEditingAuthor" in Office 365?
Best Regards
MSISOM

Hi MSISOM,
To export calendar permission on default user, please refer to this script:
$rptCollection = @()
$mailboxes = get-mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited
$mailboxes | foreach-object{
$alias = $_.alias + ":\Calendar"
$displayName = $_.DisplayName
write-host $alias
$permissions = Get-MailboxFolderPermission $alias | Where-Object {$_.user.UserType.value -eq "Default"}
if($permissions -ne $null){
foreach($perms in $permissions){
foreach($right in $perms.AccessRights){
$rptCollection += New-Object psobject -Property @{
"User" = $perms.User
"Identity" = $perms.Identity
"StringAccessRights" = $right}
}$rptCollection
The result is for your reference:
Then you can filter the result with the cmdlet "where-object {}"
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Deploying custom dictionaries to Office 365 users

Hi All,
We are currently in the process of migrating some of our user accounts to Office 365 during which we have discovered that once these account are migrated they are no longer using the organisations custom dictionary we deploy via group policy to
all users. If we clear all of the values out of "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\1.0\Custom Dictionaries" and then add the dictionaries in as per the below article's instructions Word will use our custom dictionaries.
However we want to avoid clearing all of the values out of "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\1.0\Custom Dictionaries" because this will mean that any custom dictionaries our users have manually added will be lost.
(http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_resource_kit/archive/2011/12/16/deploying-a-custom-dictionary.aspx)
Below is the result of GPP registry items we have in place to set custom dictionaries.
However after Office 365 it appears users are logging into Office applications with their Organisational account and we're seeing the following registry changes and the custom dictionaries are
no longer applied:
If you add the registry items in the article to the above key once the users have migrated to office 365 it doesn't work.
Any advice about how we can get our custom dictionary deployed to all of these users without wiping out all of their custom dictionaries would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Joe

Hi,
Since I don't have the exactly same environment, I suggest you try to manually transfer the user's dictionary, after the dictionary is added to Office 365 Application, check what changes have been made in the Registry settings, maybe this can let
us know how to modify the registry keys to accomplish the migration.
To transfer the custom dictionary, copy the custom dictionaries to your transfer location. If you've saved other custom dictionaries in different folders, copy them too.
On the new Office, open Word -> FILE -> Options -> Proofing -> When correcting spelling in Microsoft Office programs -> Custom Dictionaries -> Click "Add" and browse to the dictionary file, open it. After the dictionary is added
to the new Office install, check the registry settings under "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\1.0\Custom Dictionaries" to know what changes have been made to let it take effect.
This method doesn't bring you to the direct solution but may be a way to find it.

Office 365 user identification

Hi, AllSo we migrated all our users to Office 365 in March. Of course, we're now getting into the second quarter of full usage.However, someone sent an email to 'all' users, and got a bounceback. I am not certain how to identify the user in question. Might someone have some advice where to start?I tried the get-msoluser command, but the GUID's don't seem to match.

Office 365 user online status

I am developing a search page where displaying users from office 365. I have retrieved all the users using the command Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.UserCollection userCollection = client_Context.Web.SiteUsers;. To retrieve all the property values
for a user i have used this command Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.UserProfiles.PersonProperties userInformation = peopleManager.GetPropertiesFor(oUser.LoginName);
Now my customer wants to show the indication of user currently available in online or not. I don't know whether i will get this value from a property or need to call any other service to check online status.
If anybody have any information please answer my question.

Online Presence in SharePoint is provided client side by using whatever instant messaging client the user is using. SharePoint doesn't actually keep track of who is online. Here's an answer to another question that discusses the HTML used to

TS4083 Mail not being pushed to all devices

iCloud mail was syncing nicely to my three devices (iMac and MacBook Air running Mt. Lion and iPhone running iOS7) but since Mavericks was released, mail is no longer pushed to the MacBook Air. All Apps and OSs are up to date. Resetting iCloud on the Air didn't help. Any suggestions?

No, only photos from the last 30 days will be redownloaded; older photos are no longer in iCloud and will be lost. If you want to save your photo stream photos save them to your camera roll first (open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).

Power shell to restore recoverable items for multiple office 365 users

Dear Friends,
I would like your help to see the possibilities of recovering all the deleted items from deleted folder of all my users, by mistake a retention policy was applied on the mailbox level and it moved all items older than 90 days to the deleted items folder.
A quick response will be much appreciated, i am trying to follow this process of recoverdeleteditems.ps1 but nothing works out.I was thinking to use search-mailbox but couldn't gather a proper syntax to move items to the inbox of same
mailbox.
Thanks in advance.

Shaik,
You said you've used the script recoverdeleteditems.ps1. I assume you mean the script from this location: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/emeamsgdev/archive/2012/04/27/powershell-script-to-recover-all-deleted-items-in-a-mailbox.aspx
Can you tell us what it is you are exactly doing, and what is happening? Also error messages are welcome.

Best practices for office 365 SHARED CALENDAR for whole school / organization

hi
we need guidance on best practice for setting up SHARED CALENDAR on Office365 exchange server for entire organization (school)of150 staff.
Requirements
+ all staff should have read only / reviewer permissions on calendar
+handful staff should have editor permissions on calendar
+ the calendar should synchronise custom categories and colors
Current Solution
at the moment we have found that a shared mailbox is the best solution because;
- allusers can add the shared mailbox on outlook 2010as additional mailbox as readonly
- all the categories & colors for the calendarare automatically synchronised because the color categories are stored within this mailbox.
- you can edit calendar permissions in outlook to allow some users as "editor" of the calendar.Problem with Current Solution
the problem however is that the users also need to access this...

Hi Aleksei,
I think Inactive mailboxes in Exchange Online is the feature that you want. This feature makes it possible for you to preserve (store and archive) the contents of deleted mailboxes indefinitely.
A mailbox becomes inactive when an In-Place Hold or a
Litigation Hold is placed on the mailbox before the corresponding Office 365 user account is deleted.
But I'm afraid that it might be impossible to "easily share certain folders or even whole mailbox with people in the company". As can been seen from below articles, this only allows administrators, compliance officers, or records managers
to use the In-Place eDiscovery feature in Exchange Online to access and search the contents of an inactive mailbox:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn144876(v=exchg.150).aspx
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/03/21/preserve-mailbox-data-for-ediscovery-using-inactive-mailboxes-in-exchange-online.aspx
Anyway, this is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office client. For more details about your question, I would suggest you post in the dedicated forum of
Exchange Online, where you can get more experienced responses:

ON PREM Outbound emails showing in dummy non-configured office 365 account message flow trace

Dear Community,
We have an on-prem exchange 2013 server and an office 365 account which is completly standalone.
Whilst the office 365 account is standalone, it does feature the email address we use for on-prem (Ie. the domain name in office 365 account is not active for any office 365 services however has passed ownership verification thus it's just sitting there)
We DON'T use EOP nor do we have any connector rules on our on-prem system that go to office 365 however when I randomly went into the 'Message Flow Trace' section in our office 365 account, there is recorded outbound mail which was sent from our On-prem
server.
The ONLY mail that was recorded in the message Trace in Office 365 was emails we had sent from On-prem to other office 365 accounts (For example btconnect.com, and some of our clients whom also use office 365) .
How is office 365 picking up mail we've sent from our On-Prem server? Is there integration out of the box in exchange 2013 which auto interfaces with office 365? What on earth has happened here?
I'm really confused.
-------- For troubleshooting purposes...

MX records are not set to office 365, the MX is pointing directly to the on-prem exchange server.
The problem is; Office 365 Mail Delivery Trace is displaying mail we've sent via our On-Prem server - We are having trouble understanding why this is happening.
To clarify, the message tracer in Office 365 is displaying outbound mail (Which for example, a user has sent out from their outlook) BUT only outbound mail which is being sent to other office 365 users.
We do not have mail on office 365, only on-premise hence the reason why we are flabbergasted to why the mail we are sending out would be displaying on the office 365 message tracer.
To further clarify, we are only seeing addresses in the office 365 message trace which belong to recipients whom use office 365 for their mail.
Hope this makes sense.
getting messy O365 users to another O365 you mean?
You mentioned if they send email using their MS Outlook Client.
I'd suggest you to send another email to the same recipient but using OWA

API for office 365

Hi,
I'm looking to access Office 365 mail, calendar, contacts.
Is there are REST API available for this?
I found I can use SOAP, but when authenticating against https://outlook.office365.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx I'm not getting anything.
Is there anything specific settings in Office 365 that needs to be enabled? I'm not developing an app for office 365. Simply want to push and pull data from Office 365 using stateless web calls without library. For reference I'm using Python.
I appreciate any help or references. Thanks!
Andrew

HI, thanks for the response.
I just have one question, maybe you can help me out with, I would really appreciate it.
Do I have to setup a special account such as an app developer account or is web authentication via the Office 365 user and password sufficient?
Thanks in advance!

Office 365 & Lync / Skype

With Skype now being used instead of Messenger for Office 365; Is there a way to link my Skype Business acount users with my Office 365 users? Have over 50 skype users and over 50 365 users and would like to consolidate the users / passwords so that everything can be centrally managed.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to switch from Office 365 online user management to Active Directory after Exchange online migration?

If we utilize the Cutover method to migrate from on-premise Exchange (2007) to Office 365, which to my understanding will hand over user management/authentication to Office 365 online during the process, is possible to later switch from Office 365 user management
to Active Directory (synced to a future local domain, or even possibly via AD federation single sign-on)? If so, how difficult is this process and is there any documentation available?
Asking this because the organization I'm working for plans to upgrade (re-do actually) its entire infrastructure. There will be a completely brand new domain/AD set up that's totally unrelated to the old one. At the same time, we also plan to migrate
all emails (previously hosted locally on Exchange 2007) to Office 365 and get rid of local exchange. Now because we will set up new domain, we do not want to carry over the older AD to the cloud, hence we will not use the "Staged Migration".
So the plan is to to use "Cutover" migration first, which means all authentications will become Office 365 managed. That's fine for now. But later, after we set up our new domain and AD controller etc, we'd like to have Exchange Online switch back
to syncing with our new on-premise AD. We'd also like to consider the AD Federation Services if it's not too complicated to set up.
Your advice on this would be greatly appreciated!

In principle, you cannot sync back from the cloud AD to the on-prem, yet. But you can take advantage of the soft-matching mechanism once you have the new AD in place:

Be careful though, as the moment you turn on Dirsync, all the matching users in the cloud will have their attributes overwritten. A very good idea is to do an 'export' of the cloud AD first, using the WAAD module for PowerShell and the Get-MsolUser cmdlets,
which you can then use to compare or import data in the new on-prem AD. Some links:

Co-existance in on-premise / office 365

I'm sure theres a milion sources of the answer out there, but thats the problem, theres just to much information on Office 365 to go through it all to find the answer to this, so please excuse me for asking.
1. I want to enable a user in Office 365, can I keep this user with his mailbox in our on-premise exchange or do I have to move the users mailbox to the cloud?
We were picturing that there would be some sort of sync between cloud and on-premise and the mailbox would exist in both, but thats not possible is it?
2. This question is kind of assuming the answer to 1 is no. So here goes, can I use the Office 365 client software install on a PC for a office 365 user, but keep their mailbox on-premise? I'm guessing un-ticking "Office Online" or "Office
365 proplus" would achieve something like that when assigning the MS Office 365 Plan E3 license?
Please if replies could be kept to answers to my questions rather responding with questions as to why I want to do it this way, that would be great.
Thanks.

Hi,
1. We can't keep this mailbox in both. By enabling Office 365, you will need to move the user's mailbox to the cloud.
2. The answer is basically no. Since the user is an Office 365 user, the mailbox is online, we can't use the same mailbox on-premise. If we want to use a mailbox on-premise, we would have to create a local on-premise mailbox for the user, it would
be a waste that the user has one on cloud and the other on-premise and Office 365 would be pointless then.
