burgemaster Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Hi, We are having a strange problem with the online templates. On my install they worked perfectly for all applications. For staff just word worked and for students nothing. We assumed it was internet filtering, but now I think this isn't the case. Since logging on to another computer with my account, now none work at all, and word still works for staff? Has anyone else seen anything like this? Error we get in office: 'sorry we had trouble getting the featured templates' 'try again' 'work offline' The logs in smoothwall suggest everything is fine.?
burgemaster Posted August 6, 2013 Author Posted August 6, 2013 Just done some more testing. Ive switched users and Word templates work for one member of staff but not for another, so I would guess this rules out filtering? Different Office applications appear to cache the templates at these folders: c$\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\WebServiceCache\AllUsers\officeimg.vo.msecnd.net c$\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\WebServiceCache\AllUsers\office15client.microsoft.com c$\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\WebServiceCache\AllUsers\office.microsoft.com We currently have the below whitelisted and do not require auth: office15client.microsoft.com officeapps.live.com ieonline.microsoft.com login.microsoftonline.com office.microsoft.com odc.officeapps.live.com clientconfig.microsoftonline-p.net officeimg.vo.msecnd.net
AngryTechnician Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Did you get this to work? Basically what I'm finding is that you only see web templates if you sign in either with a Microsoft Account or Office 365 account. Local accounts simply display the error message until you click Work Offline, at which point you get the local templates but obviously no web templates.
burgemaster Posted September 13, 2013 Author Posted September 13, 2013 Hi mate, Yes were all sorted here, they were blocked on our local smoothwall install and the upstream proxy. See email from smoothwall below. Hope it helps you! Hi Tim As discussed , please ask XXXXX to whitelist the following URLs on the council proxy that you use as the upstream. officeimg.vo.msecnd.net office.microsoft.com odc.officeapps.live.com ieonline.microsoft.com This should then allow you to use the Office 2013 templates 2
AngryTechnician Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Thanks - none of these were blocked but I had to add office.microsoft.com to our noauth list (odc.officeapps.live.com was already there due to an earlier issue). I didn't have to add the other two to noauth, just make sure they weren't blocked. This is despite us having working Kerberos auth specifically to please Office 2013, and despite an earlier Wireshark trace when it was failing not showing any attempt to load from office.microsoft.com... very strange.
old_n07 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Just to update this thread as we had this issue today while trialling a UTM 3000, we had added the sites listed in burgomaster's post in the no auth policy but we were still getting the templates blocked. It turned out that office.microsoft.com was being picked up by the software updates allow policy that was near to the top of our policy list but it wasn't being blocked, we changed the updates from allow to whitelist as a test and the templates worked so we changed it back and created whitelist for this address and put it right at the top of the policy list above software updates and it fixed the issue, we have also removed the four addresses from the no auth policy and it still allows access. So in summary we just whitelisted office.Microsoft.com to everyone, everywhere and put it at the top of the policy list Hope that helps anyone looking into this in the future.
sonic1485 Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 We can't seem to get the Office templates to load for our students. We have added all the sites mentioned to the whitelist but to no avail. Have any of the sites been changed at all?
bicky Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 @sonic1485, I was experiencing same issue where I added all those urls. Later I had to whitelist office.net to make it work. 1
mats Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 I just had to whitelist office.com to get rid of the popups (in addition to the urls above).
ssmythe Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Hi all. Followed this thread as had same issue in UK. using wireshark have identified an additional one to add to the list. We are using office 2013 so may be different for other suites. http://clienttemplates.content.office.net
