Questions on managing Office 365/Exchange Online Mailboxes in Server 2012 Essentials

Wondered if anyone could answer a couple of queries:
When managing Office 365/Exchange Online mailboxes in Windows Server 2012 Essentials:-
1. Does the server itself act as the Exchange server i.e. does it do all of the downloading/sending of emails or does Outlook on each workstation still communicate direct with the Office 365/Exchange Online server address?
2. Does Outlook on each workstation have the Exchange server address set to the internal address of the Server 2012 Essentials box or does it still have the external Office 365/Exchange Online server address?
I don&#39;t work for Microsoft - I just use their products.

Hi,
When you integrate Office 365/Exchange Online mailboxes in Windows Server 2012 Essentials,you can see the mailbox usage information on the Essentials Dashboard and manager users. However, the essentials server won't download/send emails and Outlook
will still communicate with the O365/Exchange Online Server. In addition, the Exchange server address would be point to the external server address.
You can also refer to the article below to get more related information:

Synchronize Lotus Domino Directory with Office 365/Exchange Online

I have someone who is asking me to migrate them from a Lotus Domino server to Office 360/Exchange online. However they want to maintain a sync between Lotus Domino Directory and Office 365/Exchange Online. I'm wondering if that is even possible
or would they need to have a regular Active Directory server act as a go between the two. Can anyone provide me some guidance/suggestions?
Vincent Sprague

Curious, did you ever get this setup?
Reason I'm asking is I was involved with a large MSO365 migration (15k) from Lotus Notes. We had a separate AD forest just for email Dirsync. We involved a third party to setup the sync and migration between Notes and AD, and coexistence. It was rather complex.
Out of the box, it would have been extremely difficult.

Office 365 / Exchange Online - Hybrid Setup - On Premise User cannot see calendar of an Exchange Online User.

Hi All,
The below will help if:
You have a hybrid setup and cannot see Free/Busy info from an On Premise user for anyone on Office 365 / Exchange Online.
You have your network firewall configured to allow your Exchange servers out through the proxy for O365/EXO url's
- Get hold of SysInternals PSEXEC from Microsoft.
Run PSEXEC -i -s C"\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" (This opens Internet Explorer as the SYSTEM account)
Goto Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings and untick the "Automatically Detect Settings"
Had this bouncing around at Microsoft for a few days until one of the guys tried this and it worked immediately.

Forgot to mention, the PSEXEC command needs to be run as an Administrator
Run PSEXEC -i -s C"\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" (This opens Internet Explorer as the SYSTEM account)
Goto Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings and untick the "Automatically Detect Settings"

Exchange Management Tools? Hybrid Exchange 2010 SP3 - Exchange 2013 (Office 365 - Exchange Online)

When running in Hybrid mode... is there any advantage to installing the Exchange 2013 server management tools on my machine versus the Exchange 2010 management tools?
Any advantages/disadvantages?
I still do have some on premises mailboxes that need to be migrated to the cloud (Exchange Online).
Thoughts? Suggestions? Experiences?

Hi Viva,
We don't have Exchange Management Console in Exchagne 2013 in all the web interface we used in Exchange server 2013. In Exchange 2010 we are having Exchange management console. Hence we can able to access exchange 2010 and 2013 both on the same server.

Office 365 - Archiving online mailboxes to PST

Good Afternoon,
We have moved our mailboxes from on premise to Office 365. Before we can delete a user from the online admin centre we need to be able to archive their mailbox to a PST in case we need access to their email in the future.
Any assistance with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards.
Bryan

Hi Bryan,
I think the feathre you need is Inactive mailboxes in Exchange Online. This feathre allows you to keep a terminated employees mailbox on your Office 365 cloud environment even after you have deleted their user account and freed up their licence.

For more details about this, I'd suggest you post in the forum of Microsoft Online: Exchange Online or
Office 365 Community, as current forum only focuses on questions and feedback for Microsoft Office client.
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

It's recommended to download and install

Connect Office 365 Exchange Online through Powershell

I am trying to perform some operations on Exchange online(Office 365) through powershell.
First I created a new powershell session and exported the modules to local as "o365", so that on any later operation I no need to use Import-PsSession to download the required modules
$cred = Get-Credential
$s = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName "Microsoft.Exchange" -ConnectionUri "https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/" -Credential $cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Export-PsSession -session $s -outputModule o365
Now, I am creating new session and importing the existing module "o365".
$cred = Get-Credential
$s = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName "Microsoft.Exchange" -ConnectionUri "https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/" -Credential $cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-Module o365
Get-DistributionGroup
While running the command "Get-DistributionGroup", powershell prompts me to enter the office 365 credentials once again. Is it possible to avoid entering the credentials once again? I don't want to use Import-PsSession, since it takes more time.

Hi,
Not sure, if the following cmdlets can make a difference. Anyway, suggest you to try these:
$UserCredential = Get-Credential
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $SessionGet-DistributionGroup

Office 365 Exchange Online not syncing on 4G

I have been using Office 365 for over a year now and have not had problems like today. None of my devices will connect to the Exchange Online server via the Verizon Mobile Data connection. It works fine on Wifi, but not 4G LTE. I spent and hour and half on chat with Verizon and they tried to reset some things with no success. I have submitted a ticket with Microsoft, but I was busy with something else when they called. I am now waiting for a call back. Anyone else have this issue? I only have Verizon devices, anyone with another carrier experience this? Unfortunately I only have Samsung devices as well.

Forgot to mention, the PSEXEC command needs to be run as an Administrator
Run PSEXEC -i -s C"\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" (This opens Internet Explorer as the SYSTEM account)

Office 365 Exchange Account Deleted & Overwritten?

I've run into a problem where I need to recover an Office 365 Exchange account, but it doesn't exist in Deleted Accounts. Below is a summary of the events leading up to this problem:
An Office 365 account was deleted
A shared mailbox (using the exact same email address as the deleted account in step 1) was created
It was determined that there were email and contacts that needed to be saved from the original account
In the Deleted Mailboxes list, the deleted mailbox did not exist
The shared mailbox was deleted
In the Deleted Mailboxes list, the deleted shared mailbox existed, but not the original
I'm currently in the process of using eDiscovery to try to recover the email from the account, but is there a way to actually recover the original account at this point?
I realize that the smarter option would have been to convert the original account into a shared mailbox, but at the time none of the old data was needed. Deleting the account was an easy way to clean out all of the old data.

Server Essientials DashBoard wont connect to Office 365 / Exchange Tenant

We logged a ticket with Microsoft support nearly a month ago and to date still no solution.
Server essentials is connecting to Office 365, however isn't retrieving any user or exchange online information.
Exchange Online comes back as not available. Have built a fresh DC, tried a different admin account, same problem.
Believe the problem is to do with the Exchange Online Tenant but the error is cryptic
This is the error we have found in the log
[3388] 150202.084044.2621: PSRunspace: Release PS runspace failed with the exception : System.Management.Automation.Remoting.PSRemotingTransportException: Closing the remote server shell instance failed with the following error
message : The server certificate on the destination computer (pod51053psh.outlook.com:443) has the following errors:
Encountered an internal error in the SSL library. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
   at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.Internal.RunspacePoolInternal.EndClose(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
   at System.Management.Automation.RemoteRunspace.Close()
Have tried the following work arounds as well, no good.

get psexec to run on the server (Tried under admin command and normal user command prompt, same result, under a domain admin account).
If anyone has any suggestions please let me now, is very frustrating for end users having to maintain 2 passwords (2k+ users).
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Cliff, I will investigate decommissioning essientials proir to adfs / dir sync.
It should be noted Essentials was working OK until Server Essentials was moved to another DC (Which according to MS is possible if the DCs are up to date).   Therefore I believe we have a cert / CA issue.
I don't believe the user amount is the cause of the current issue, it is a SSL connection issue with the Exchange Online Tenant, which is shown in the logs.
At this stage I'm not marking your answer as correct as I am looking for a solution to the SSL connection error.    In the event no one comes back with any information around how to resolve an SSL connection to the Exchange Online Tenant
/ How to force the Online tenant start a new connection with Essentials (e.g. On a cert level is my guess), I will then mark your answer as correct and move on.
I do agree that the user amount is not supported therefore will be going down the ADFS / DirSync route, but would like to resolve the Connection to the Exchange Online Tenant issue as it is clear that MS Support don't know how to, and may be helpful for
others in this situation
Thank you Cliff for your input to date.

With Multi-Factor Authentication ENABLED how can a admin connect remotely to manage Office 365 with PowerShell

With Multi-Factor Authentication ENABLED how can office 365 admin connect remotely to manage Office 365 with Power-Shell ?
When I key-in my credentials, auth fails with invalid username and password ?
Does any know the procedure ?

This question was closed over a year ago. You will need to start a new question. You can post a link back here if you think it helps.
I also recommend asking in the O365 developers forum for how to do bulk license upgrades. You can use the answer here and just remove and then add the new license.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You can nicely do this with Distribution Group or by Transport Rules. Distribution Group will be maybe the easy way.
You can referer to article Create and use distribution groups.
Basically, you create DL with address [email protected] and allow to receive e-mail from external sources. Then you add [email protected] as member of this group.
If you want also sent e-mails from this DL, you can use PowerShell to set rights for it.

Apple Mail with Office 365 Exchange server

Is anyone here using Apple Mail with Office 365 Exchange server on Mountain Lion? I have just upgraded to Mt Lion and decided to switch from Outlook to Apple Mail.app. My account was added successfully. Even contacts, calendar, tasks and notes work very well. My problem with Mail.app is that it does not sync any emails in subfolders prior to the day I added the account to Mail. For any older emails I have to open Outlook for Mac and look it up there. Other than this issue Mail is working well for all new incoming and outgoing emails.
Thanks

I Found a workaround. Please look at this other link: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6615135
