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:

   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.

I can't seem to make a working profile to connect to office 365 on a windows 7 pc with only the mapi cdo runtime version 6.5.8320.0 installed using mfcmapi nor programmatically

Hi,
I have been struggling with this for a few days now.
i have pc where no outlook is installed, where i installed the MAPI CDO Runtime may update (version 6.5.8320.0). i checked in the registry that the default mail provider was set to exchangemapi (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail) .. it is.
I downloaded the lastest version of mfcmapi, which i believe was the version of december 2013
but i can't seem to create a profile for office 365 in it. I followed http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dvespa/archive/2013/05/21/how-to-mfcmapi-create-mapi-profile-exchange-2013.aspx and then i changed the properties to what was proposed here http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dvespa/archive/2013/07/15/create-profile-connect-mfcmapi-to-office-365.aspx
That did not work, i keep getting an error one ore more properties are invalid when i try to use that created profile to connect to office 365 (from within mfcmapi).
I also changed some of those proposed values to what autodiscover was telling me like setting PR_PROFILE_RPC_AUTH_PACKAGE to RPC_C_AUTHN_ANONYMOUS which should be the value $8000F001 instead of RPC_C_AUTH_NONE (at least i think so)
I builded a simple program to encrypt my password using CryptProtectData and entered the value using mfcmapi in PR_PROFILE_AUTH_PASSWORD as was suggested in the last page.
but nothing seems to work, i keep getting wrong configured errors and i'm totally clueless atm. This is supposed to work right on a pc where outlook is not installed ?
I also tried this on another pc where outlook 2010 is installed and i am able to create the profile there and connect without a problem given that i enter the logon credentials once and let them be remember (they get stored / cached in the windows key store,
like when using CREDWRITE function) from then on i can connect without a problem.
also when calling configuremsgservice on the EMS service i created for a new profile in mfcmapi and let the UI show i can see on the pc where outlook is installed in the UI options to enter proxy information however when i do the same thing on the pc
where only the mapi cdo runtime is installed i do not see any UI option to configure the proxy server information ... is this normal ?
Hopefully someone can shed some light on what i'm doing wrong or might be wrong.
Thanks in advance

The window would open and I would get the hourglass cursor suggesting something was happening, but the Apple home page (default from the install) would not load, nor would any other page I tried (google, yahoo, cnn).
Even though it's about a different application, I'd try the following document with that:
iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(Safari uses the same webkit engine to render web pages as iTunes uses to render the Store pages. So an issue that can cause the iTunes Store to blank can also cause a Safari for Windows application on the same PC to produce blank pages.)

Cannot connect to Office 365 using Powershell on Windows 7 SP1

Hi,
I was trying to connect to Office 365 using windows azure active directory module for Windows Powershell.
$Cred = Get-Credential
Connect-MsolService -Credential $cred
It failed on my windows 7 machine with the error
Connect-MsolService : Unable to authenticate your credentials. Make sure that your user name is
in the format: <username>@<domain>. If this issue persists, contact support.
This issue happened in Windows 7 SP1 OS.
But, when I tried the same thing on a Windows 2008 R2 VM, it connected successfully.
This means that the account I was trying to login does have the permissions.
Both the machines ( windows 7 and windows server 2008 R2) have the following pre-requisites installed:
Install Microsoft Online Services Sign-in Assistant: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39267
Windows Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell (64-bit version)
I checked for other settings needed for this to work at :

Possible ways to connect SharePoint Office 365 to External databases

Hi,
Is there a way we can connect SharePoint Office 365 to Oracle & MySQL Databases and also is it possible for these databases to feed data to SharePoint Office 365 rather than SharePoint pulling the data from these databases.
Thanks

Hi,
As far as I know, it is not feasible to connect SharePoint Office 365 to Oracle & MySQL Databases by OOTB. But you can consider deploying the Business Connectivity Services (BCS) which can access data from WCF Data Services and SQL Server Azure Connectors.
Also you can consider three part tools.
For more information, you can have a look at the thread:

Can't connect to Office 365 mail account via Apple Mail (Exchange)

I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite, but had this problem before upgrading as well. I have an Office 365 mail account, but cannot sync it via Apple Mail. I went into my Apple Mail accounts and tried connecting my Office 365 account through the Exchange option, but it will not connect. From my knowledge, this is not an uncommon problem but it is very inconvenient. Is there any way to get around the glitch, or anything I should be doing differently? I do know a couple people with Office 365 accounts who have been able to make it work, but they apparently did not do anything differently when setting up their account.

Sometimes this issue is caused by a misconfiguration or incompatibility of the Exchange server, or perhaps by a bug in Mail. If so, you won't be able to resolve it yourself. The fact that your iOS devices may be working well with the same account isn't relevant, because iOS uses a completely different protocol (ActiveSync) to communicate with Exchange servers. By default, OS X Mail uses the EWS protocol.
Each of the following steps has been reported to help with Exchange issues, at least temporarily, in some cases:
1. Back up all data. Open the Internet Accounts pane in System Preferences and check to make sure you don't have duplicate Exchange accounts. If you do, delete all but one of the duplicates. If there are no duplicates, delete the account and recreate it with the same settings.
2. Rebuild the affected mailbox.
3. Reindex messages.
4. Follow the instructions in this support article to disable autodiscovery. You may need to get configuration details from the server administrator.
5. In the Keychain Access application, delete the password item for the account. The next time Mail tries to access the account, you'll be prompted for the password. Check the box to save it in the Keychain.
6. If you've created subfolders of the Exchange inbox, log in to the server through its web interface, move the messages out, and remove the subfolders. The inbox should have no subfolders.
7. Synchronize with the server using IMAP rather than EWS. This is only possible if IMAP is enabled on the server.
8. Consider using Outlook instead of Mail to access your Exchange mail.

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:

What are share point server 2013 & Share point Designer 2013 & Office 365 & Yammer & Share point 2013 & Windows server 2008 server & Windows Server 2012 Server Data Center?

I need some clarifications.
What are share point server 2013 & Share point Designer 2013 & Office 365 & Yammer & Share point 2013 & Windows server 2008 server & Windows Server 2012 Server Data Center? How each them are related in collaboration system?
Is Share point server 2013 and Share pointer Designer 2013 available in 32bit version? If not, then how to use it in 32 bit machine by using any VMs?
Thanks
Senthil

SharePoint Server 2013:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-sharepoint-collaboration-software-FX103479517.aspx
SharePoint Designer 2013:
Designer is used to develop SharePoint pages using HTML/CSS/JS as well as SharePoint Designer Workflows
Yammer:
https://about.yammer.com/
Windows Server is Windows, but the Server OS. SharePoint runs on top of supported Windows Servers editions (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485.aspx).
SharePoint Server is 64-bit only (trial:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/hh973397.aspx), although Designer does have a 32-bit edition (full product:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35491).
You will need the capability to run 64bit VMs. Minimum recommended all-in-one VM for SharePoint is to allocate 24GB of RAM, but you can get away with as little as 12GB (I wouldn't go below that). Because of this, it generally rules out 32bit OSes as a virtual
machine host.

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

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 for Non-profit

Hi
Previous a Website Hosting was own mailing server (Sample)
[email protected]   is Mailbox only in the hosting
[email protected] (as non-mailbox) come automatic-forward to     [email protected]
[email protected] (as non-mailbox) come automatic-forward to
joe@other_isp.co.nz
Now, We bought a Office 365 non-profit in clouding.   I setup a new user for
[email protected] in the mailbox via exchange clouding. And I changed our DNS in our Web hosting, Then I setting a exchange with Outlook app were successfully.
I tried find Office 365 about the another add user for [email protected] (as non-mailbox) should be automatic forward to
[email protected] (in own mailbox).
My experience Windows Server with Exchange 2003, 2008 & 2011. Now, I first time this Office 365 exchange for business & non-profit. I never seen this.
Help me, Where I can find the "Domain email (non-mailbox) Auto-Forward email to domain email (mailbox) or also external email"
Thanks for your help
Mike

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.

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"

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.

Hi,
Please note in this forum we mainly discuss questions and feedbacks about Office client issues, since your question is related to Office 365 Exchange Account, I suggest you post the question in Office 365 Community Forum:
