Office 365 setup - Hit a brick wall

[RJcreatives]

Hi all,

Wondering if you could lend me a hand with this. Basically I am trying to setup O365 for our school, but after creating an admin account etc, I cannot seem to do anything else. I cannot get to email setup or file storage etc.

 

From the various things I have seen online (Help videos) the user should have options in the top right of the screen to allow for access to email, people, onedrive etc. We have none of that.

 

Now I will say that my boss has been doing some of the setup but I have no idea how far along he got. Have we missed some setup stages? Or is there something a bit trickier happening here?

 

Any help would be very very helpful.

 

Thanks!

You will need to license any users to use exchange etc.

Thanks for posting this, made me realise that actually we have no license for online services, only the software downloads. Going to work on getting O365 Education A2 up and running

Its fairly easy to do, get your domain name validated and then you can "buy" the A2 plan from the purchase services section.

Managed to get everything up and running, now the problem is that I have to setup a proxy url for onedrive to allow our FrogLearn VLE to work alongside it. Any ideas how I would go about this?

This might help you - needs an update now as it was written about a year ago.
