Removing ADFS (used for an Office 365 test)

There isn't a whole lot of info out there about removing ADFS.
My initial thoughts were that it would be easy enough just to remove it, but it seems that you have to run Convert-MsolDomainToStandard and this for some reason resets your users' passwords. Have I got that right?
Ridiculous if true.
So our situations is we have a test Office365/ADFS system in a subdomain presently. We're consolidating AD to the root domain and then installing ADFS/O365 in anger with that domain.
I'm thinking we can get away with leaving the current O365/ADFS in place and just migrating the users out of there, then decommissioning ADFS at our leisure. Also, at any point we can configure the new tenancy in the root domain.
Am I missing anything or am I incorrect anywhere?
Many thanks,
F.

Can you clarify a few of things first?
What do you mean by consolidating AD? Do you have a multi-domain based AD forest that you are reducing down to just the root? Are you migrating the users intra-forest (within forest) to the root such that the objectguid for each user doesn't change?
Are you going to reinstall AD FS on new servers in root or re-configure AD FS using existing servers when they are in root domain?
What OS is AD FS running on?
If you are migrating users within the forest, the objectguid wont change. Which means immutableID in Azure AD will remain as is. AD FS as it exists can authenticate the users throughout. Then you can build a parallel install of AD FS in the root domain
and run update-msolfederateddomain against your existing federated domain to update the AD FS details currently known to O365. At this point you can decommission previous AD FS at your leisure.

Best method for controlling Office 365 updates

Were looking for the best method for updating Office 365. We will be testing prior to releasing the version to the rest of the company. We have a couple of methods we're contemplating but looking for any pros or cons for each. We are also
using SCCM 2012.
1. Run setup.exe setting the version and internal install source in an .xml file run as an SCCM package using distribution points as the install source.
2. Run click2runclient.exe with command lines setting the version and internal install source as an SCCM package using distribution points as the install source.
3 Set the version through group policy and turn on automatic updates and don't specify an install source.
Option 3 appears to be the most straight forward with the least administrative overhead. Would it be possible to revert back to an earlier version using this method?
I have read various articles but looking for any input as to what is working well or not working for others.

Hi,
I would like to share this
blog post with you, which provides an example how to implement a fully automated testing and deployment process of Office 365 updates. This deployment method provides you the ability to test updates before you approve them in my environment.
The process might look like:
Deploy Office 365 in your environment with Office Deployment Tool, configure the "Updates" element in the configuration.xml file so that updates are enabled and the "UpdatePath" attribute points to an internal source.
Download the latest Office 365 build into a different internal source, configure your test machine to pick up builds from it.
After testing the updates, copy the updates to the first internal source.
You should be able to integrate the process with SCCM to reduce your administrative effort.
Hope this helps.

Visual Studio Community 2013 on Windows 8.1 pro - how can I develop for Sharepoint (Office 365)?

Hello everybody from Italy.
As stated on the subject, I'd like to develop some solutions for my Office 365's SharePoint site.
I'm absolutely new to Visual Studio usage, too :-)
I downloaded and installed VS Community 2013 and SharePoint 2013 SDK (along with ... but still no luck, VS keeps saying that I need to have SharePoint installed locally in order to develop solutions for SharePoint.
What now?

Ok, I managed to:
remove the "somewhat offending" custom list (I'll add it later after realizing what I was doing wrong)
create one custom list without any specific feature (I called it List1)
create another list based on Contacts, kept absolutely default (called List2)
build&deploy the app
Ok, now the "app" is there (on my devel environment), doing absolutely nothing (because I didn't create any form or page or whatever). But I have a Contact list! I should be able to sync it to Outlook desktop!
This page helped me to understand how I can reach the list created inside the app (https://devtenant.sharepoint.com/AppName/Lists/List2)
... but I had a bad surprise: no option to sync the Contact list with my Outlook desktop application. This remains true even after having activated the "Offline Synchronization for External Lists" feature inside Site Settings/Site Features menu.
So, the Contact-like list inside the app has lost about 80% of interest... not being able to sync it with Outlook is a severe limitation. I'm assuming that every list created inside an app will suffer of the same problem, is it true?
By the way, how I'm supposed, after having eventually finished my work on the app, to install it on the "real" work environment, that is completely unrelated to the development site (being the "work" site a mere "Business
Premium" Subscription)?
I tried to deploy the app to the "non devel" site with no luck: VS says that the destination site is not configured for sideloading apps.
Many thanks in advance, Ashish.

Looking for some Office 365 Hybrid Migration help

Basically I just need to talk this out with someone, as I'm not a pro with mail processing and setup, and just want to make sure I do the right setup, at the right time, to keep email downtime to an absolute minimum. Project: Move on-premise Exchange 2013 to a hybrid solution with O365, moving our full-time users to O365 and leave our part-time staff on internal server since they don't use email often and don't need the flexibility (nor our cost) of the license.
Initial setup:On-premise Exchange 2013, using the cloud product "Websense Perimeter Email Protection" that basically syncs to our AD and acts as a first-line-of-defense that only allows email to come through to accounts that are in our AD system. Current:All AD accounts synced to O365 using on-premise DirSync, and licenses purchased for the few accounts I'll test with for now....

Bulk-enabling users for the Office 365 Messaging Service

Is it possible to bulk-assign the Office 365 Messaging Service for Unity users after they are migrated to Office 365 from our on-premises Exchange environment instead of manually going into the Cisco Unity Connection Administration tool and performing these steps?
4.1) Edit the user account in the Cisco Unity Connection Administration
4.2) From the Edit drop-down menu, select Unified Messaging Accounts
4.3) Click Add New
4.4) Select the Office 365 messaging service you created
4.5) Have it use the corporate email address unless it doesn't actually match the email address for the user on Office 365.
4.6) Save
I am hoping something can be done with the Bulk Administration Tool.... :).

Yep its possible with BAT, i would export the users out. Modify the CSV to only reflect the users that you need, and make sure you have the 'serviceDisplayName' column populated and use the CSV to update it. The BAT column names can be found here: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/10x/administration/guide/10xcucsagx/10xcucsagappb.html

Using EWS on Office 365 ends in 'ErrorTooManyObjectsOpened'

Hello,
we have a problem with our sync-tool which is using the EWS to sync appointments between our calender and the exchange calender. One "service" account is in use to access the calender of users which will be synchronized and this is not done
via impersonation. This works fine on the most customer setups, regardless if it is a local exchange system or a Office 365 account.
Now we have one customer that get's an error while loading properties for items. The error message is 'ErrorTooManyObjectsOpened'. So but this does not happen to all of the 20 users. Just a few, around 20 % get this error. Also if we temporary disable
all users expect one which gets the error.
What makes me also very "confuse" is, that we can use FindItems/FindAppointments without errors and the following LoadPropertiesForItems
get's the error.
Dim nPropertySet As New PropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties, nAdditionalProperties)
nPropertySet.BasePropertySet = BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties
FindResult = Service.FindAppointments(New FolderId(WellKnownFolderName.Calendar, New Mailbox(MyUser.User.Email)), nCalenderView)
For Each ObjAppointment As Appointment In nFindResult.Items
ItemList.Add(ObjAppointment)
Next
Service.LoadPropertiesForItems(ItemList, nPropertySet)
We are using the EWS Managed API to access the EWS.
I found
another post with this error, but the solutions does not work for us. We have done the "break" between the calls with a bigger resolution of 120sek every 5 users, but it does not work.
So it looks like there is another limitation that I don't know yet.

>>What makes me also very "confuse" is, that we can use FindItems/FindAppointments
without errors and the following LoadPropertiesForItemsget's the error.
What happens when you do LoadPropertiesForItems is that it does a batch GetItem Operation. The error is a throttling error telling you that you have too many items open so doing a batch GetItem for too many objects would make sense (where as FindItems is
just one op), putting in a time break probably won't help in this regards what you should look at doing is dialing back your batch size eg the number of Items you do a
LoadPropertiesForItems on. Instead of working backwards I would suggest working up eg start with batches of 50 items and see if you get the same problem, if not increase this until you find the tipping point. Concurrency can be issue here if
you have multiple threads using the same account you can still only be allowed to open 1000 Items open per account (this would be a big problem if you had a FindItems and GetItem request done concurrently using the same account).
Have you tried using the X-AnchorMailbox header ?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn458789(v=exchg.150).aspx . This header affects that way the request is load balenced and proxied if your accessing a Mailbox other then the secuirty context being used. I would suggest you try using
the X-AnchorMailbox header and target the Mailbox your attempting to access.
The other thing you can do is that each request has a unique RequestId
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/exchangedev/archive/2012/06/18/exchange-web-services-managed-api-1-2-1-now-released.aspx which can
then be used to find any server side issues in the EWSLogs on the server. So you could open a support request with Microsoft and ask them to check why this is failing based on the RequestId.

I use Outlook Webmail, office 365 for two mailboxes. In one when I send an email it hides the top menu bar where you click send etc, meaning I cannot send email

This works fine in the first of two inboxes I use. But in the second it does not. There should be no difference between the two as both are the same mailbox essentially (Microsoft Outlook 365).
It happened on both my home firefox and office firefox. It works fine in Chrome.

My organization is experiencing the same issue.
Specifically, the missing Send Button Tool bar. I can share what we have found in our troubleshooting.
The issue appears to be related to how the page information (specifically the Send Tool bar) is cached in FireFox.
For example, if you follow the work-around described of using the F11 function key to take the browser window full-screen, the Send Tool bar appears. If you then sign-out while still in full screen, the tool bar info is cached – and on each subsequent launching of OWA, the Tool bar will show up; even if you resize the window to anything other than full screen or maximized. That is, once you successfully get the Tool bar – it stays working on subsequent sign on.
At that point, the tool bar will continue to show up until the FireFox cache is next cleared. For example, if you sign out, then clear the cache – the problem will return on your next sign in. Apparently, a reboot will also clear the cache in some cases, again returning the issue at next sign on.
We are also seeing what appears to be a memory leak. For example, if you look at the amount of memory in use by firefox when everything is working correctly (with the tool bar) – we see RAM allocation of around 200Mb. But if you are experiencing the missing tool bar – we see RAM allocation to firefox grow continually; even to the point of 1+GB. At that level, we have seen the app hang the OS on our XP machines with small on board RAM.
I have also confirmed that the version of FireFox does not seem to matter. I can reproduce the issue in v17.x and v24.x.
Lastly, we have been using FireFox to access OWA/Office365 for a couple of months now. This issue just presented itself in the last few days – aprox 09/15/2013 or so.
I don’t have a solution. Just wanted to share what we have found.

Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin for Microsoft Office 365 does not work. When I check the cox for COM Add-ins, it unchecks it. "A runtime error occurred during the loading of the COM Add-in." I use Adobe X Professional. The Add-in worked fine in Office 2

I recently upgraded to Microsoft 365 Home and use Outlook 2013. The Acrobat PDFMaker Addin worked fine in Office 2010. Now, I get an error message: Not loaded. A runtime error occurred during the loading of the COM Add-in.
I use Adobe Acrobat X Professional.
I have restarted Outlook, restarted my computer, and nothing changes.
Does anyone have a solution?
Steve

I do not think that AA X is compatible with the newest versions of OFFICE and such. Your only choice is to print to the Adobe PDF printer or use the MS plugins to create PDFs.

Best Approach for Sharepoint/Office 365 Solution?

Hello there,
I have been asked to develop a new solution involving SharePoint Online. I know a bit about SharePoint but have not done any development with it as of yet. I need to understand the best approach to take (e.g. WebPart, Separate Web Application, something
else?)
In my opinion, the "application" needs are a bit complex. the solution must be hosted in the Cloud (most likely on Azure or within SharePoint if possible)
It needs to meet the following objectives:
Consume data from a SQL Server database (proprietary, no api available), on premises
Manipulate/Read SharePoint Lists
Launch Workflows
Provide seamless authentication (Users log into the SharePoint online service, must not have to log into a separate app)
Support additional database functionality (e.g. I will have my own tables, sps in SQL, that will be needed) and a UI for users to interact with the custom tables.
Some concerns I have from reading articles is that some functionality is restricted using the SharePoint online platform.
Any input on a viable approach would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Cory

You will want to implement a provider hosted app. A provider hosted app gives you the ability to host your app on a trusted server where you can have your own database. You can also communicate back into SharePoint using CSOM to manipulate lists and launch
workflows. The authentication will flow through from SharePoint Online to your app using OAuth authentication. Some links to help you below:

Which calendar is useful for an office? So that we can maintain one appointment calendar, yet anyone in the office who has an iphone can sync the info to their iphone.

I work at an office that has an office calendar for all of our client appointments. My boss is getting an iphone, he is terrible at using technology. Which calendar could we use that would allow him (or anyone in the office with an iphone) to sync the office calendar to his iphone? So, I'm looking for one calendar that multiple people could sync to. Any advice?

I also already deleted my phone number from iMessage on my MBP.

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.
