Upgrading DirSync for Office 365

Is there a good technical document on the upgrade process from DirSync
6092.42 to latest version
6553.0002 ? and are there any known issues (or bugs) people have encountered ?

Hi,
This is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office client. There is not so much about
Office 365 Server/Directory integration aspects here, I would suggest you to post in the dedicated forum of
Office 365 Community, where you can get more experienced responses:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/default.aspx
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
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office
programs.

Detection rule for Office 365

Hi
I'm about to create a application for Office 365 in Configuration Manager 2012 R2.
I've seen recommendation to look for %programfiles%\Microsoft Office 15\root\Office15. But will that not break when office is upgraded on the client?
In registry I've HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\O365ProPlusRetail - en-us. And for the looks of it I cannot use this if a user decides to download and install a different version than en-us.
Any idea on what detection rule I should use for Office 365 that works for next versions of Office 365 (office 2015)?

Using folder check for "%programfiles%\Microsoft Office 15\root\Office15", might be a bad
idea.
You need to use the full path to WINWORD.exe or something.
If you install Visio using Office 365 it will end up in the same folder, and that will make wrong detection of the application!
You don't have to worry about the version of Office when running Office 365, but you can get the version directly from the
WINWORD.exe if you for some reason wants to use it...
I would recommend that you don't check for the version though.

Z10 and Q10 frequently asking for Office 365 password

I have an AT&T Z10, and a client has a Verizon Z10 and 2 Verizon Q10s. Both of us use Office 365 as our email service. With the lack of BB10 support in BBCS (Blackberry Cloud Service for Office 365) I was forced to set up all these devices on ActiveSync. For the most part this is working OK. However each user has either been prompted for the Office 365 password multiple times in a day, or they don't notice the prompt and the ActiveSync account is marked as invalid on the Accounts list in setup.
I have looked everywhere within the Office 365 administration console and can find nothing related to asking for the password frequently. I did find settings to control if the device has a password, but nothing related to the device prompting for the Exchange password.
I am only annoyed by it, but my client is getting quite frustrated and is questioning whether they will bother upgrading their other 20 Blackberry devices to BB10s, or look at other devices. Either some direction to solve this ActiveSync problem, or a likely date for BBCS to be BES10 would be helpful.

My user with a Q10 has had this same issue with our Office 365 account. Seems to work fine for a few days then randomly stops getting new email. Go in and reenter his Office 365 password and all is well again... for a few days when it seems to lose it again.
We have about 15 iPhone's of various flavor and 3 Android HTC One's with no issues on O365.

TS1702 Office Mobile for Office 365 WORKED PRIOR TOT HE LAST UPDATE?

Prior to the last IOS update i was able to use Office Mobile for Office 365 on my ipad and it worked perfectly. Apple swapped bugs and has put me into a fit for a new tablet. I dont have money to keep upgrading everytime apple needs a buck. tech support cannot support the issue and i am left in the cold with work to do. I guess i am going to leave apple products and buy a new windows tablet so i cam work. this frustrates me to no end. I spend a ton of money for hardware and software and enjoy the benefits of having a dependable system which gives me what i paid for, then apple decides they need to sell me a new table and force me into the poor house in the process. Guess what Apple??? you lost a good customer and proponent for your product. I will buy a windows tablet that works like a professional machine out of the box and not be bothered with anymore work arounds for you poor code and customer sensitivty. You have made it so I dont care to buy another profuct or app from you again. you have squeaked you last dollar out of me. I am not a victim and i will not llow you to make me one. I hope you get the same treatment you give. have a great business life, short and not so sweet.

Just for the record, Microsoft has not updated their app since Aug 21, 2013. They had access to months of preview versions of iOS 7 and all of it's updates since. Who do you think is responsible for a broken app?
Also, maybe try some basic troubleshooting steps before you rant. These issues are common after an OS update on EVERY platform, not just Apple devices.
You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

CodeTwo Backup for Office 365 - local backup and recovery of mailboxes

Yesterday wasn't a great day for Office 365: http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1069483-today-was-not-a-good-day-to-migrate-our-senior-managem...Luckily, downtime is a rare occurrence in the Office 365 world. But as an Office 365 admin you have other forces working against you – mailbox size limits, reckless users, scarce licenses, regulations requiring local storage of documents… Am I forgetting something?That’s why CodeTwo developed an offline backup tool for Office 365 mailboxes. CodeTwo Backup for Office 365 lets you download your users’ data to a local drive, preview backed up items in full detail and restore mailboxes, folders and single items – current or previous versions.Here’s a video overview of the application:

I don't suspect a problem with your approach, but if you don't mind overkill, this would be very safe::
uninstall dirsync, delete the db
extend the schema
reinstall dirsync (get the newest version) and let it
soft-match everyone.
Your specific questions (I have not tested the below, but assume it to be true):
>>AD schema extension will not break our Office 365 production
environment
I don't believe the dirsync installer makes any decisions based on the AD schema definition. I'd think you will need to do a FULL SYNC (reg
key) once you're done. with the extension, but this doesn't break users.
>>new attributes will sync to the office 365 environment with a null value (by default)
I don't think this will happen. The absence of the attributes today would be similar to "null".

PowerShell for Office 365 is here – here's how to use it

After announcing its intention to release new scripts and commands to better integrate PowerShell with Office 365,Microsoft has followed through.The newly ordained PowerShell for Office 365 features the same command-line interface found in PowerShell 5.0 – and that's because it is the same program.According to The Register, Microsoft has created "ascript libraryto help you do things like add users, control licenses, and stop people from recording Skype meetings."Before you start using it, however, you have to "import the modules corresponding to all the bits of Office 365 you want to administer, including the Microsoft Online Services Sign-in Assistant and the Azure Active Directory Module to handle the important matters of security and authentication."The widespread use of PowerShell and its necessity for sysadmins and network admins...

Hi, almightywiz,
Sorry for the delayed response. I was away from office for one day and did not have access to the files.
And you are right, column 11 is text and column 26 is date (i.e., numeric). And indeed, those visually blank cell in column 11 are not null but have zero length. Java can tell the difference but not by visually inspecting the cells in the spreadsheet.
I also checked the POI API documents, and found that org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Cell interface, which has those cell types, is implemented by both HSSFCell and XSSFCell. The question is under what condition the cell type of a cell becomes Cell.CELL_TYPE_BLANK.
While that is not yet clear, I will catch cells missing data in column 11 by checking three things: first check if(cell == null), then if(cell.getCellType() != Cell.CELL_TYPE_STRING), and then if(cell.getStringCellValue().length() == 0). And that solves my problem.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and solving my problem.
I have another problem that may more serious, at Can I process Excel BIFF5 files, or simply abandon Apache POI? It would be very much appreciated if you had time to look at it.
Best regards,
Newman

"project pro for office 365

I was eagerly looking for a project management software and fortunately came across your office project pro 365 product
While looking up on the website office, I had some questions rising concerning
the “project pro for office 365” – 25 dollars/per user/ per month option
It is mentioned that it can be installed on up to 5 pcs.
Here are some questions I would like you to answer to help my purchase. (FYI I am planning to share this software with a team of 5 people)
Does that mean that if I pay 25 dollars, me and my other 4 team mates will have equal access and manipulation of the software(insert/edit)?
Or is it only one person getting some sort of ID and password that give access to Cloud and other 4 people just having the right to view the files(such as Gantt chart etc.)
I was informed that if I go with this option I will have to take
“project online” to have a cloud subscription(extra 33dollars). Is that correct?
If a get an ID and Password, will it be on a single designated PC or doesn’t it matter far as it is among the 5 pcs where the software is installed?
Do you have any other options to recommend considering we are a group of 5 people and want at least 2 people to have the right to have access to the software and be able to write or edit while the other 3 members can view the
shared files of charts?
Thank you for your answer in advance!

However, to answer the questions...
1. That is upto 5 PCs for a single user, not spread across multiple users.
2. One user gets one ID.
3. No, Project Online is a separate product.
4. It doesn't matter. You can log into one of 5 PCs and install Project Pro for 0365. If you no longer have access to a PC, you can "de-activate" it using the web, and then install on another.
5. Buy 5 licences.

Project Pro for Office 365 vs. Project Pro 2013

Hello,
As I already have Project Pro 2013 installed on my PC (which is able to connect to Project Online) I'm not sure if the MS Project I'm using is Project Pro for Office 365 vs. Project Pro 2013.
Is there any difference in the interface of the 2 products, as there is a noticeable difference between Word 2013 and Word Web App?
Thanks

Hello,
Project Pro 2013 is the same product as Project Pro for Office 365.
Word 2013 and Word Web App are totally different, Word Web App is web based, Word 2013 is the client tool.

API for office 365

Hi,
I'm looking to access Office 365 mail, calendar, contacts.
Is there are REST API available for this?
I found I can use SOAP, but when authenticating against https://outlook.office365.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx I'm not getting anything.
Is there anything specific settings in Office 365 that needs to be enabled? I'm not developing an app for office 365. Simply want to push and pull data from Office 365 using stateless web calls without library. For reference I'm using Python.
I appreciate any help or references. Thanks!
Andrew

HI, thanks for the response.
I just have one question, maybe you can help me out with, I would really appreciate it.
Do I have to setup a special account such as an app developer account or is web authentication via the Office 365 user and password sufficient?
Thanks in advance!
