Opportunistic TLS removed from Office 365?

Team.
   I have an open question regarding changes to the mail flow connector for Exchange Online:http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/156/p/343149/929997.aspx#929997
Hello all,
    I'm working on a Hybrid 2010 configuration. When modify the connectors in Exchange Online EAC, I noticed that the connectors changes, and opportunistic TLS is gone.
What happened? Can someone please provide some information regarding the TLS changes? Did opportunistic TLS get removed?
I was following these articles:
Configure mail flow using connectors in Office 365
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms.exch.eac.connectorselection(v=exchg.150).aspx
Set up connectors to route mail between Office 365 and your own email servers
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn751020(v=exchg.150).aspx
Any information on theses changes will be appreciated.

Hi Kloud,
I didn’t find any official documentation about that. The connectors page in
Exchange admin center has just been updated, so we may not have relevant documentation at this point. If I find any, I’ll let you know.
Meanwhile, I suggest you submit your feedback to let our relevant team know that you need an official documentation about the
Opportunistic TLS of new connectors.
Thanks for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Allen
Do you know the answer to this question? Or, are you planning to post something on these changes?
Thanks

Hi,
What’s your scenario for creating a connector?
I noticed that you are using Exchange 2010-based hybrid deployment. Generally, when configuring a hybrid configuration using the Hybrid Configuration wizard, one of the things it creates is a new receive connector named “Inbound from Office 365” on each
hybrid transport server.
This connector is set to only accept incoming SMTP sessions from a specific set of IP ranges, which are associated with the FOPE service used in Office 365. Please check your receive connector and send connector for Hybrid environment in EAC and share the
configuration information here for further analysis.
Additionally, here is a reference about Hybrid 2010 Configuration for mail flow:

How to download a file version from office 365 using csom

I need to download an older file version from office 365 and get the data into a byte array. I have no trouble downloading the latest version with File.OpenBinaryStream() and I have no trouble loading the previous file versions with File.Versions. But now
I need to actually download an older version of the file and it seems the only way is to use File.OpenBinaryDirect. So I am creating a client context using my oAuth access token and providing the correct path, but I am getting a (401) Unauthorized
error. Looking with Fiddler I can see that the call to OpenBinaryDirect is somehow trying to post to my file URL and the server is responding with 401.
context = TokenHelper.GetClientContextWithAccessToken(SPHostUrl, AccessToken);
FileInformation info = File.OpenBinaryDirect(context, "/" + _fileVersion.Url); //throws 401
//leading slash required otherwise ArgumentOutOfRangeException
I have to be able to access the older file versions with my c# code -- I don't have a viable app without that ability -- any help urgently needed and greatly appreciated!

Thank you SO much (Can't wait for the next release)!
For anyone else who lands here, here's the code I ended up using:
// VersionAccessUser and VersionAccessPassword are stored in web.config
// web.Url is loaded via the clientContext
// myVersion is the FileVersion I got from the file's Versions.GetById() method
// probably a lot of ways to get hostUrl, it just needs to be https://yourdomain.sharepoint.com/
// - I'm running my app from a subweb
// I had trouble following the links to get the full MsOnlineClaimsHelper code
// (the one on msdn.com was missing RequestBodyWriter, WSTrustFeb2005ContractClient,
// and IWSTrustFeb2005Contract
// so I've included the code I used here.
string myVersionFullUrl = string.Format("{0}/{1}", web.Url, myVersion.Url);
string userName = WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("VersionAccessUser");
string strPassword = WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("VersionAccessPassword");
string hostUrl = Regex.Replace(web.Url, "([^/]+//[^/]+/).*", "$1");
MsOnlineClaimsHelper claimsHelper = new MsOnlineClaimsHelper(hostUrl, userName, strPassword);
var client = new WebClient();
client.Headers["Accept"] = "/";
client.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.UserAgent, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET CLR 1.0.3705;)");
client.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Cookie, claimsHelper.CookieContainer.GetCookieHeader(new Uri(hostUrl)));
var document = client.DownloadString(myVersionFullUrl);
// These classes are needed to download old versions of files (see: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7746d857-d351-49cc-b2f0-496663239e02/how-to-download-a-file-version-from-office-365-using-csom?forum=sharepointdevelopment)

How can I download content of wiki pages from Office 365 online Sharepoint site using c#?

How can I download content of wiki pages from Office 365 online Sharepoint site using c#?
Ratnesh[MSFT]

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to download content of wiki pages on SharePoint Online.
If just for getting the text of the page, I suggest you convert page to PDF file first and then download the PDF file via a Visual Web Part as a Sandboxed solution.
A sample about export HTML to PDF:

Can't activate Office 2011 for mac (downloaded from office 365 portal)

Hello All,
I've installed Office 2011 for mac which was downloaded from office 365 Portal. However, during installation process there was not a windows for activation (key or sign in method).
Is there a way to force activation on Office 2011 for mac?
Note: I've deleted office 365 com.microsoft.office.plist but i didn't get a windows for activation.
MacbookPro Version 10.10.2
Regards
JO

Hi,
If you downloaded Office 2011 for Mac, you may not need a product key to activate it. Office 365 uses a new mechanism that the activation is based on your Office 365 Account instead of a product key.
Anyway, in this forum we mainly discuss questions and feedbacks about Office for Windows, as your question is about Office for Mac, I suggest you post the question in Office for Mac forum:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac
I've also noticed this question is actually more related to the activation, you may need to contact the local customer service to get more dedicated assistance:

Migrating from office 365 to OSX Server 2.2.1 Mail server.

hi folks,
I am considering setting up an OSX Server v 2.21 and using it as my main mail server at home, and migrating away from office 365, and using the OSX mail server as my main server. I have my own domain name, and i would be the only user of the mail server.
I would be running this on a mac mini i7 with 16 GB ram.
what anti virus / spam applications are there available for the mac mail server?
thanks.

The power in your computer is fine. I was just trying to warn you that if any network requests come in the server configuration immediately priorises that higher than interacting with the user sitting that the keyboard. Apps you are using may stutter until the network request has been answered. Of course, if you don't have many network users and with a computer that powerful, it probably won't take the server long enough to answer the network request that you notice any problem.
No webmail portal for mail, and no easy way to add one. Just mail apps using POP, SMTP, etc..
Here's the manual for OS X Server if you're interested:

Useless World Minutes (from Office 365 subscriptio...

Hello Skype,
I got 60 world minutes each month from Office 365 subscription...which is nice...however, I have not been able to use a single minute?
Issue? Insufficient credit (!).
Destination call? SCB, a landline call to an international banking institution in the heart of HCM city, the biggest city in Vietnam...not a rural area, not a mobile phone...how so???

The Office 365 signup page: http://www.skype.com/en/offers/office365/ has the supported countries clearly listed on the lower half of the page. No further research is required. This is the same list that appears under the properties of the World plan (in graphical flag form) on the Skype rates page when looking at the available plans for a particular country. If the list was any shorter, it would be wrong.
Call landlines and mobiles in: Canada, China, Guam, Hong Kong SAR, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Thailand, and United States.
Call landlines only in: Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Chile, Colombia (excluding rural areas - LEX), Costa Rica, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guadeloupe, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia (Jakarta only), Republic of Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, United Kingdom, and Venezuela.
It is a 60 minute plan that adheres to 60 minutes available to those countries. It isn't $60 worth of general credit. I have not doubt restrictions in this form allow people to get the most amount of talk time and allows the promotion to be cost-limited through contracts allowing the promotion to exist.

Migrate Sharepoint 2013 from office 365 to on premise

The company management decide to move SharePoint 2013 from Office 365 to on premise. Are there any instructions or step to achieve this, or any recommended third party tools? Thanks

i think your best bet is 3rd party tool, their are alot of 3rd parties which support this migration. check the below post.

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:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2641663
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:

Remove Render Blocking From Office 365 Public Facing Website

Please does anyone know how to solve this?
Im trying to optimise my office 365 public facing website with search engines such as Google. Google has found a number of errors on all my pages, one being this Remove Render Blocking from Javascript & Optimise CSS Delivery. What does this mean and
how do i fix this? Must be someone out there that knows surely.
The notes Google left where: None of the above-the-fold content on your page could be rendered without waiting for the following
resources to load. Try to defer or asynchronously load blocking resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the HTML.
Thanks

I feel like I'm losing my mind! Here is a Fortune 500 company web site using Sharepoint public facing: http://www.constellation.com/pages/default.aspx.
Just vaildated it; it contains 93 errors!! Another has a slow-moving Flash component that cannot be controlled by the user and looks like it was built in 1995 at best: http://www.viacom.com/Pages/default.aspx . It contains 59 errors.
What is going on here? The combination of "Cloud" computing and mobile devices is destroying web design! We are regressing!

Mess with accounts in OneNote and OneDrive for Business - can't open documents from Office 365

Hello!
[Reposted from
here]
I've got Office 365 subscription (E3) with Office.
I can view and edit OneNote notebooks on Office 365 via browser, but can't open it in OneNote.
The similar problem exists for OneDrive for Business - some libraries are syncing, some cannot - asking for Enter credentials, but when I click - nothing happens.
There were two accounts bound to Office 2013 - personal Microsoft ID as primary account and corporate Office 365 linked to it.
Windows 8.1 corporate profile is linked to Microsoft ID account as well.
Something happen with these accounts after password was changed - it seems like some account information was cached and can't be cleaned.
I tried to uninstall Office and install it - no success.
I cleaned computer with
this utility from Support - no luck.
On other Windows 8.1 computer I created new profile (with Microsoft ID account) - surprise, there are problems there as well.
I deleted all Office15 entries from Credentials Manager - Office asked me about Office 365 login/password - I entered them, it is syncing, Haliluja, but, when Microsoft ID account was linked to Office 365 account in Office - problem appears again.
It seems that Office 2013 uses Microsoft ID credentials for Office 365 content.
I'd like to use Microsoft ID as primary account for Office and link Office 365 account to it, but don't want such problems. It worked fine, but I don't know what happened and how it can be analyzed and fixed.
Update: It seems I localized the problem, but still don't know the solution.
Scenario to reproduce error for me:
1. Create fresh new Corporate/Domain user profile on Windows 8.1 with Office Pro 365 installed on computer with latest updates
2. Go to SharePoint Online and browse some Libraries and OneNote notebooks - all ok
3. Start to sync them using OneNote and OneDrive for Business - ok
4. Link Microsoft Account with Corporate Account in Windows 8.1 - ok
5. Syncing of _some_ (not all) Office 365 libraries and notebooks stop working - errors with access, permissions. I'm trying to enter credentials but this doesn't help
6. Disconnect Microsoft Account and Reboot - all libraries and notebooks of Office 365 work fine again. But OneNote notebooks from OneDrive stop working :)
How I can fix this situation and have Microsoft and Corporate account connected?

Update 2:
I installed PowerShell for SharePoint online cmdlets and found this user using get-SPOUser.
I removed this user using remove-SPOUser -site
https://mysitename.sharepoint.com -LoginName
[email protected]
but when I'm trying to access sharepoint from the browser with Microsoft account credentials - new record for this user is created again and I can see it with get-SPOUser :(
So, problem is still not solved - this user is still can be authenticated (there is no such user in SharePoint site collection, there is no such user profile) and Office 2013 syncing doesn't work for Office 365 due this mess with accounts.
I know that I can remove Sharing with external users from Site Collection and information about these users will be permanently deleted - but I don't want to do this, there are several customers who work with our documents.

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.
Best Regards,
Sadiqh

Upgrading from Office 365 E1 to E4 - are we able to transition current phone numbers to Lync?

We are currently looking in to upgrading our Office 365 account from E1 to E4.
We'd like to use Lync going forward for calls. Is is possible for each employee to have their current phone number reconfigured to sync with their Lync account. What kind of effort does this involve?

Agree with both Anthony and Ben, but I thought I'd chime in and mention that with the Office 365 E4 subscription you get Enterprise Voice capabilities, but will require an on-premise deployment also. (which I personally find confusing as MS removed "hybrid"
support around May last year but at the very bottom it says this on the E4 page
Lync enterprise voice capabilities require a customer to purchase and deploy Lync Server, either on-premises or in a hosted data-center, to enhance or replace traditional PBX systems.)
Having said that, according to this response from MS in the Office 365 forum, http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/156/t/188567.aspx you get an on-premise license with
the E4 subscription to facilitate voice.
If this is the case, it would mean that you'd need to integrate this on-premise deployment with the PSTN network (through some sort of Media Gateway ) and you could in fact use your existing numbers.

Stream 7 - Reinstall local Office 2013 from Office 365 subscription

Ok, I signed up for my free year of 365 3-4 weeks ago. Doing so resulted in downloading the desktop Office 2013 for a local install.
Takes up a lot of valulable space, and there are a few Office apps I rarely use (Access, etc.) Mostly Word, Excel and PP.
So, I'd like to remove the apps I don't use, but in the case I want to use them later - how do I reinstall them? The download occurred "automagically" as a result of the Office 365 subscription/signup process - I have no D/L to reinstall. Nor, do I believe, do I have a key to take an existing install and install and activate.
So - how can I D/L and install later? And possibly determine just what my key is for that day?

Due to limited storage, the installation folder/files is not downloaded into the device. The only way you can reinstall the MS Office is by doing recovery but will wipe out your data. After recovery you need to use the same account you used the fisrt time you registered your Office.
Hope this helps.

Landline only subscription (from Office 365) - why...

Hi,
I'm trying to call an Indonesian land line. My office 365 account includes 60 free minutes to landlines (to countries including Indonesia). However, while my Skype account is linked to my Microsoft Office account (I just linked it today), I am unable to place my call.
When calling from my Mac Skype, it says "Call - you need to get Skype Credit to call this number".
Is this a bug? Can I submit the number I am trying to call somewhere?
Thanks,
Rishi

A week ago my skype account I had for years was taken over by some hacker, who made calls to Africa.. After filling out several forms over and over again.. Skype decided they could not help me and I should better make a new account (great service). As having no other options.. I did... Now I don' know anymore which Skype name I should send to clients, friends and family... but also my Office 365 plan isn't linked anymore.. I called Office 365.. and they can't do anything as for them it is linked.. at Skype support there is no logic answer or no answer at all (or they send over the same file for the 20th time and that solves nothing) So great job Skype!! I lost all my contacts.. you just gave my account to someone else, I lost all my personal and professional Skype contacts and my free Office 365 minutes (60 in total) I can forget about... the only thing it says is.. please buy credit or opt for a plan.. Also I don't see how 1 password for al services makes this a secure place.. Very disappointed and worrying about my online security!!!!!!
