Outlook 2013: Accessing Exchange with Outlook 2013 and OST on mulitple machines?

My organization recently transitioned to off-site Exchange servers. Users were upgraded to Office 365 / Outlook 2013 using OST files (PST files previously
In addition to my work laptop, I have Outlook 2013 available on a personal Surface Pro 3. I cannot find a definitive answer on whether it will be a problem to connect to Exchange via Outlook 2013 using an OST files from both the work laptop and personal
tablet. Will having OST files on separate machines create sync issues? I have access to Outlook Web Access on the Surface, but prefer the Outlook desktop application for quick actions and other tools.

Hi,
Typically, when you use a Microsoft Exchange Server account, your email messages, calendar, and other items are delivered to and saved on the server. You can configure Outlook to keep a local copy of your items on your computer in an Outlook data file that
is named an offline Outlook Data File (.ost).
As what Amit says, there would be no issue configuring Exchange account from both the work laptop and personal tablet. The OST file is synchronized with the Exchange computer when a connection is available. It is synced from Exchange server instead of the
Outlook client from your first account computer.
For more information about Outlook Data Files (.pst and .ost), please refer to:

In addition to my work laptop, I have Outlook 2013 available on a personal Surface Pro 3. I cannot find a definitive answer on whether it will be a problem to run Outlook 2013 from both machines using an OST file. Will the two OST files on different
platforms create sync issues? I have access to Outlook Web Access on the Surface, but prefer the Outlook desktop application for quick steps and other tools not available on OWA.

Hi,
There are many people who use .ost files on multiple machines, this is ok.
Each .ost file synchronizes with the mailbox on Exchange/Exchange Online, they don't directly interact with other .ost files on other machines. Once the synchronization is done, each .ost file should match the data in the mailbox and there won't be problems
to have multiple .ost files on multiple machines.

It's recommended to download and install

Exchange 2013, Outlook 2007 clients Problems with Outlook Anywhere connection

Hi everyone,
I have a mail system Exchange 2013 SP1, on Windows Server 2012 R2.
I have only one mail server with the Client Access and Mailbox roles Server.
I have a Wildcard certificate type *. Mydomain.com.
All connections to the Outlook Anywhere Outlook 2010, Outook 2013 work correctly.
The ActiveSync connections are working properly, too.
But Outlook 2007 clients connecting with Outlook Anywhere asking for credentials continuously fail continuously.
How can I solve this?
thank you very much
Microsoft Certified IT Professional Server Administrator

Hi,
Based on my experience, we need to set Outlook provider with the domain name if it's wildcard certificate:
Set-OutlookProvider -Identity EXPR -CertPrincipalName msstd:*.domain.com
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc535023(EXCHG.80).aspx
Thus, I recommend you try the above configuration and test the Outlook connection again.

Why my safari browser is not opening pdf files?I'm currently using the lat 2013 macbook pro with os mavericks and all my software is uptodate?

Why my safari browser is not opening pdf files?I'm currently using the lat 2013 macbook pro with os mavericks and all my software is uptodate?

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Contacts and calendar dont sync with outlook 2013 (win8) - working with IPhone 5S and Ipad air

Dear all,
i just moved to a new PC (former: Sony Vaio pro with win 7 pro, outlook 10 > new: sony vaio duo with win 8, outlook 13 from office 365 home). i used to sync outlook contacts and calendars with blackberry and iphone and ipad on my old notebook using desktop manager from blackberry.
Now with my new PC, ipad and iphone are still working fine and they sync with outlook: new entries on outlook calendar and new contacts are added to my mobile and vice versa but when i connect my Blackberry Bold i don get any of the updates.
i confirm that i am using the latest version of the desktop manager 7.0.
my desktop manager organizer is set up to sync both ways for both calendar and contacts
Any idea please?
thank you in advance for your help

Migrating to 2013 from 2007 with Outlook Anywhere disabled

Hello
I'm in the middle of a migration from 2007 With Outlook anywhere disabled.
After I installed 2013 I added the external url to both inside and outside url's on CliantAccess, o-anywhere url and Virtual catalogs.
When I configured the External Access domain on the 2013 it also added this on the external url's on the 2007 server. On the 2007 server i manuelly changed the external url's to the Legacy name which is mail.domain.com. The New server is webmail.domain.com
both internally and externally. The servers real name is xxmail.domain.internal
After this, when I configure an Outlook Client With a user on the old server With autodiscover it configures it With Outlook anywhere, not mapi, but With the external name of the New server, webmail.domain.com under http Proxy settings. When I then
moved this user to the New server it stopped working in Outlook.
Is the best approch to enable Outlook anywhere on the 2007 server before migrating the users or can I og from mapi/rpc to rpc over http in 2013 without Outlook problems?
Regards

Hi,
Firstly, I’d like to explain, all users in Exchange 2013 use Outlook Anywhere. The information of Exchange proxy settings tab is automatically updated by Autodiscover.
I recommend you the following troubleshooting:
1. Check the Autodiscover configuration on both Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2013 servers:
Get-clientaccessserver |fl autodiscoverserviceinternaluri
2. Check if there is any DNS entry about the legacy name points to Exchange 2007 IP address.
3. Check if you can logon OWA with both Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2013 server.

Cannot connect to SBS 2008 Exchange with Outlook externally

Hello,
We used to be able to connect to a native Exchange account with Outlook even when we were not onsite, however this has stopped working.
If we connect onsite, it works straight away.
Outlook Web App works fine.
We are using a self-signed certificate and always have. It is still on the same certificate since it was last used successfully (i.e. it hasn't expired and been renewed).
Any thoughts? Thanks.

Project Pro 2013 client Deployment with Lync 2010 and Team Explorer Excel Issues Following

Current machines are Office 2010 SP1 or SP2 32-bit
Just deployed Project 2013 Pro and Std to the existing machines that had Project 2010 Pro or Std. We selected the full install since people use integration into different tools.
Results:
lync 2010 64-bit when attending a meeting prompted user to start using and download the Lync Web Component, which breaks features such as muting, etc.
A repair sent to the workstations for Lync 2010 64-bit fixed that.
Team Explorer 2012 Export to excel from queries gives error Unable to cast COM object of type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.ApplicationClass' to interface type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Application'. This operation failed because
the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{000208D5-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}' failed due to the following error: The interface is unknown. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706B5).
Repair of Team Explorer, Office, Test Manager 2012, etc did not assist. if we go into excel and connect to TFS, we can then retrieve the query data. Just not from TFS exporting to excel. Had to unload Project 2013, repair Office 2010
and rebooted with project off the machine and now it works. It seems maybe the setup with the shared features and Office tools are breaking something? We need the ability for VBA and .net functionality, but what could be breaking this?

Hi,
Your environment will support 32 bit of Project professional 2013 (x86) as you have Windows and Office of (X86).
You try to modify registry then you wont face issue.
The issue when you hit a "1653" is that Windows
Installer "DisableRollback" is set. Office 2013 requires that "rollback" be enabled. If you are getting a "1653"
error in your logs as Ken did then the solution is to delete the "DisableRollback" (or set to '0') at the following registry keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
these are the issues I've seen:
Scheduler service was stopped. At a cmd window typing "net start schedule" resolves the problem.
CMD.exe was customized via the following registry key. Solution was to temporarily disable the customization by changing autorun value to autorun_old.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Command Processor
Permission issues - seems some custom permissions affected Ingram's install which he explained in his previous post.
Environment variable "ComSpec" had been modified (semicolon added). Fix was to remove the added semicolon (there should be no semicolon).
The way to identify you are hitting this specific issue is if in the %temp%\OfficeSetup.log there is a mention of "Office64MUI.msi" failing to install with return value of 1603
If you want to enable verbose logging via the following key, rerun your failed install, and collect all the setup and MSI* logs that will give more information.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
"logging"= "voicewarmup"

I have an iMac with Microsoft Office and an HD - Time Machine. I'm buying a MacBook Pro and I want to know that if I use the Time Machine to transfer all my stuff the Microsof Office will work or if I need to reinstall it with another licence ?

I have an iMac with Microsoft Office (and several other licenced softs) and an HD - Time Machine that backup all the stuff. I'm buying a MacBook Pro and I would to know that if I use the Time Machine to transfer all my stuff, the Microsof Office will work normally or if I need to reinstall it with another licence?

You do not need a new license. The license file will be found in /Library/Preferences/ and is named, com.microsoft.office.licensing.plist. Be sure it gets transferred and you will be fine. I see no reason why the file would not be in your Time Machine backup nor any reason why it would be restored.
Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine. You may need help figuring out how to restore your current backup to a new machine.

Set Exchange 2013 calendar permissions with Outlook 2007

Hi,
I have a new install of Exchange 2013 with ~30 Win 7, Office 2007 clients. Setting permissions on calendars doesn't work properly from Outlook 2007 (a known MS issue). Does anyone know if there is a fix or work around to assign permissions to the calendar?
i.e. where you right click the Calendar folder and set different levels of permission. There is a 'permission' option in OWA but this doesnt appear to work for calendars.
I have tried Outlook 2013 and that works ok. Is there alternate way to save having to move to Outlook 2013?
Thanks.

Hi,
The above issue occurs because of a limitation in how Exchange Server 2013 set Free/Busy permissions. The workaround is to use OWA to set up calendar permissions.
Here is a helpful article about setting up calendar permissions in OWA for your reference.

You need to change page size in order to see the on button. try Ctrl+0
Regards Faisal
Thanks Faisal for your reply. I tried Ctrl+0 (zero) but no difference. I think Ctrl+0 is for clearing the zoom in/out effect in web pages. While this tool is a windows (desktop) application.
Please note that I have taken the snap (attached in original post) after maximizing the

Hi Ashraf,
According to your description, I suggest you check the

Run the following command to view the RoleAssignmentPolicy property:
Get-Mailbox <identity> | fl Name,RoleAssignmentPolicy

Single access point with multiple ssids and single channel possible?

Hi everybody.
I have this silly question.
Let say we have three vlans, vlan1,2,3 and they are mapped to wlans as follows:
Vlan 1 ssid1
Vlan 2 ssid2
Vlan3 ssid 3
AP --------trunk------Switchted network.
Our Ap has mobile devices in three wlans, i.e ssid1ssid2 and ssid3
Since AP uses half duplex mode, mobile devices need positive ack from ap before they can send data, therefore once channel let say channel 3( assuming 802.11b is used) can be shared by all mobile devices in three wlans.
Is my understanding correct?
Thanks and have a great weekend.

Hii ,
Yes ,that is pretty much possible as suggested by other experts on board. Depending on your access point you will have 1 (2.4 GHz) or both 2.4 & 5GHz radios.
You can configure multiple SSIDs (up to 16 ) known as MBSSID mode in autonomous environment. In Controller based architecture you can configure up to 512 WLAN (SSID) and transmit any 16 of them per AP (using AP group feature). However , it is recommended to keep multiple SSID count below 8 as for each SSID separate beacon will be sent on air which consumes more air time.
Hope this helps
Thanks
