Sharepoint Login Popup (Office 365 vs. Microsoft Account)

Hello Everyone,
We are using Sharepoint Online and I am designing the site for office use. Let me pre-face this with the fact that we do NOT use Office 365. I have been registering email accounts with Microsoft so other users can login externally. I have run into a barrier
to adoption for my users: When they attempt to access the sharepoint site (randomdomainhere.sharepoint.com), they are met with an Office 365 login popup. There is an option at the bottom of that popup to login with a Microsoft account. Now, even though
I have explained in great detail that this link needs to be clicked and the user login from that page, I still receive multiple users asking me to make this process easier as it often leads to mistakes or frustration on their end. What I have done to this
point is clicked on the link, used that URL as a Trusted site, and remained logged in. In theory, as long as I click the link I get right in, but the preference would be to display the microsoft account page popup in place of the office 365 popup. This would
potentially do one, if not both of the following:
1. Allow my users to login using their credentials without seeing two popup pages
2. If site was trusted and auto login was allowed, it would let users directly into the Sharepoint site
which is the intended goal.
I have searched for an answer to this repeatedly with no viable solution. I should also mention that I am not a developer or web designer. I am just a guy who wants to make things run smoother in my office. Please help.
Thanks,
Christian

There really isn't a good solution to this issue at the moment. MS applied this change to the Login page a few months ago and it is very confusing for external users. MS is aware of the frustration, but the SharePoint Online group doesn't control
that login page. What I have done for my external users is put together an email message, with a screen shot, showing how to get to the Microsoft Account login page from the default login page.
#1 is the only way that works.
#2 usually won't work since the trust sites autologin passes their workstation login. In my experience that usually will be an internal corporate account that won't match their Microsoft account.
The only way to really handle it at this point is through education and wait for the login page to be changed to a better external user experience.

How to set security group as primary site collection admin and secondary site collection admin using powershell in sharepoint online site - office 365?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to set security group as admin of primary and secondary site collection using PowerShell command in office 365.
I suggest you can use the command below to set the group to site owner, then it will have the site collection admin permission.

In SharePoint site at Office 365, is there any possible to change the notification mail instead of using default Exchange mail id in SharePoint online?

A customer using SharePoint site in Office 365 and they configured workflow, notification alerts, etc and now by default they are receiving mail in the registered account (for example: [email protected]) and now i want to change it to their
company email id.
Is that possible?

You should setup domain for Office 365 - Add your users and domain to Office 365

What's the difference between SharePoint 2013 and Office 365 Team Sites?

Hi there,
What are the differences between SharePoint 2013 and Office 365 Team Sites?
If I would like to develop a professional corporate website with SharePoint technology (because the company allready uses Office 365), do you recommend using SharePoint 2013 (in the cloud) or Office 365 Team Sites? And why?
Thank you very much!

You cannot make SPO Team Sites anonymous-enabled, therefor they're a moot point for a public website.
While slightly out of date, take a look at this:

Can't move "completed" items into folders using Outlook 2013 on a Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium Account using a work Exchange 2010 address

I've been in touch with several Microsoft support teams about this issue, and the latest move was to shove me off onto Pro support, but since I'm using a personal Office account, I'm hoping that through the community I can find a way to resolve this issue without
escalating through our IT department. I do not think this is an Exchange issues because I have previously used this product and method without resulting in this error on a Windows 7 32-bit AMD computer and a Windows 8 and 8.1 Professional 64-bit Intel computer.
Here's my current specs:
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, service pack 1
AMD A6-5400 3.6 GHz
8GB RAM
Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium
Office updates automatically, version 15.0.4551.1512
About Outlook shows "Microsoft Outlook 2013 (15.0.4551.1511) MSA (15.0.4551.1508) 32-bit/Part of Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium"
Here's how to reproduce the issue:
1) Open View Settings
2) Select "Other Settings..."
3) Disable "Use compact layout in widths smaller than XX characters" and enable "Always use single-line layout"
4) Select "Columns..."
5) Under "All Mail fields" add "In folder"
6) Select any email
7) Context-menu -> Find Related -> Emails in this Conversation
8) Select "more"
9) Sort by folder
10) Select all messages from Inbox.
11) Use Outlook's preset "Done" function and select a destination folder
12) Watch Outlook fail to run "Done" and reset your UI without producing an error.
The first attempt to resolve this issue was to set up a new Outlook profile. This seemed to exacerbate the problem and resulted in Outlook providing an "Unknown error" before resetting the UI.
The second attempt to resolve this issue was to run "outlook.exe /resetnavpane". However, the nav pane does not appear immediately relevant to this issue.
The following similar steps also result in a crash, this time with an error:
11) Flag all select message as Complete.
12) Move all messages from Inbox to a destination folder.
This change in procedure results in the error "Cannot move the items. Some items cannot be moved. They were either already moved or deleted, or access was denied."
Help me, Microsoft Community. You're my only hope.

Import the calendar and contacts in Outlook.com. For contacts, export from Outlook as csv and import into Outlook by choosing the Other option (https://people.live.com/import/other?biciid=ImportCatalog)
You'll need to save the calendar as an ics file to import it. Select the calendar folder, the File, Save as an save as an ics.

Assign multiple records to a single graphic in Visio (Or SharePoint 2013 in Office 365)

Hello,
I would like to make a live seating chart for an event. I am pulling data from a SharePoint 2013 list that has names and table numbers (and other stuff). There will be 10 names per table. Each name is a record, not each table number.
10 names will have the same table number. I can only see where Visio lets me attach one record to a graphic. I can automatically link Tbl# (in my list) to
Table_No in the graphic but it will only pick up the first entry, not all 10. Is there a way to tell Visio to look at the list, and where
Tbl# equals Table_No attach the first and last name from all 10 records to the graphic? I want it to be dynamic so when they edit the list, the tables change accordingly.
Maybe there is an app for that in SharePoint? I am working on Office 365 SharePoint.
Thank you for any assistance.
Richard Twigg

Hi rtwigg,
seems this is one of visio graphics limitation regarding the external data.
visio graphics, may only support for one row.
you may consider this idea :
"It is a good idea to separate your rows into visual units so that you have everything you need and nothing else in a single row. To link a shape to a data row, simply drag the row from the external data window and drop it on the shape. A default data
graphic should immediately appear next to the shape displaying some data from the row. From here you are able to customize the graphic to fit your needs"
by means, you may need to use the visio client.

Anonymous User forms in Sharepoint 2013 Online (Office 365)

I'm using Sharepoint 2013 online with Office 365.
Is there any way for an anonymous user to communicate with the site using forms (preferably Infopath)?
There are many, many versions of this question on the web, but most answers seem to talk about features I just don't have in Office 365 Sharepoint - such as Application Management in Central Administration, which just isn't there.
The only feature I can find is the Excel Survey in Form Templates. This is at least a start, but what I really want is the ability for an anonymous user (a customer) to submit information into a Custom List using a form; or, second best, in an email (WITHOUT
having to have Infopath Filler installed). this is all do-able for a fully-subscribed user of the intranet site, but I can't afford to buy individual subscriptions for all my customers. Nor do I want them seeing each other's data, or accessing my intranet!
I have spent so long researching this and getting nowhere, and really need to know if it's just a straight 'no, it's impossible', or keep trying.
Thanks
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to enable anonymous user with forms in SharePoint 2013 Online.
There is a Sandbox solution from CodePlex, it manages anonymous access on Office 365 / SharePoint 2013. Please have a try.
https://anonymous365.codeplex.com/
In addition, I am not an expert for SharePoint 2013 Online, I suggest you create a new thread on SharePoint Online forum, more experts will assist you with SharePoint Online.

Project Pro 2013 and syncing with SharePoint Online 2013 (Office 365)

Good day,
I am experiencing some challenges with a Project Pro master project file and syncing to SharePoint 2013 (Office 365).
What works
Individual projects can be synced to SharePoint without issue. Once synced, the site start page presents the Project Summary gant, clicking the Tasks link takes me to the tasks. Project files are stored in the Site Assets directory in each SharePoint site
(one site per project file).
What doesn't work
When I create a new project (and sync it to a new site), then add two (2) existing project files that reside on SharePoint and then sync to the new master project site I
don't see any content in the Project Summary gant, nor do I see any tasks in the task list. I can't figure out if this is not supported or if I've done something wrong. There are no error messages or indicators that I've done something wrong,
short of the master project projects not showing up on the master project site (nothing in the project summary gant and no tasks).
Some help would be greatly appreciated. Being able to render a master project is crucial to understanding timelines for many projects in a single view.

Steven,
This is by design. Inserted Sub projects will NOT show in the Master Project Tasks list. You will only see tasks inserted directly at the Master Project Level.
Moreover, if you set up a dependency between Master project Task and Subproject task, then the sync will not work. All in all, there are limitations for this process, which is where Project Online/Project Server needs to be considered.

Mac Mail can't resolve Office 365 address adding account

I'm just putting this out there, I'm sure it will be addressed soon.
Just loaded up a VM or Yosemite on my Macbook Pro so I can start testing it for our network environment. First major glitch - Mac Mail will not resolve an Office 365 email address and allow you to add the account to Mac Mail. This is huge considering many of our clients are hosted using Office 365 for their corporate email. Mavericks never had issues with this, hoping its a quick fix without the need of a work around. Ironically using Outlook for Mac 2011 works just fine, which is pretty strange to me considering it still has to resolve outlook.office365.com for the server names in autodiscovery.
Lets go Apple....this OS looks great, don't make it your MSFT Vista!

Mavericks Mail has had problems with Exchange. Many have been resolved but at this time, Outlook for Mac is a better Exchange client than Mail from reports that I have seen.
I'm trying a trial of Rackspace Exchange Email wondering if its Office 365 specific.
How are you pointing your MX & cname setting to two different services?
You said another user was able to setup. Is there any difference in OSX and email client. Compare settings.
What error are you getting.

Office 365 and MIcrosoft Project MPP Trial Download

where can I find a trial of project that works with Office 365...I received a key but its for office or 8.

To the best of my knowledge, the only trial that is available is the full MSI installation. However, it should work fine with Office 365 as long as you are installing the same version (32 or 64 bit) ass Office 365.
