Sam_Brown Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Done most of that. WHole process is failing on 'Sync'd our students' - my server cannot see the AzureAD for some reason. Have checked firewalls etc etc but nothing seems to be going through. Frustrating today. I'm in a foul mood. GJE Chill it's almost Christmas!!! What errors are you getting? Can you post screenshots \ what you've done so far?
garethEds Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Hiya @Sam_Brown - Indeed it is. Not this issue that is getting my back up. Anyhow - here is the screenshot. Hope you can see it. It's quite small in the message.
Boredguy Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Does that server have your proxy server details entered (if you need any)
garethEds Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Does that server have your proxy server details entered (if you need any) Yip. It's on our WSUS server for trial at the moment whilst we experiment with the software. WSUS has a connection through the LEA to download updates so connects to the internet without any issues. I've checked AzureAD services and they are activated. GJE
sonofsanta Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 What's in the event log? DirSync seems to use the Application log. The FIM Sync tool may also give some clues - it'll have installed to "C:\Program Files\Windows Azure Active Directory Sync\SYNCBUS\Synchronization Service\UIShell\miisclient.exe" (and it's a useful tool when you're in production, so you can monitor syncs - I made a shortcut to it on my server's desktop)

I have it open on the desktop when running the DirSync application. I assume it should show any attempt, but alas it doesn't show anything. As for the Event viewer... See screenshot
sonofsanta Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 I really don't know. That Event Log isn't much use really, is it? Doesn't actually say anything new. The only trouble I've ever had with DirSync was when the password had expired on the account I was using. Have you tried logging in to Webmail with the credentials you're giving DirSync?
nicholab Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Does anyone know if there is a template of an e-mail to send to inform staff of the feature of Office 365 Pro Plus.
nicholab Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Can anyone clear up how may licence are available for staff I see it as 5 desktop and 5 mobile is this correct?
rush_tech Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Can anyone clear up how may licence are available for staff I see it as 5 desktop and 5 mobile is this correct? It's 5 devices per license Edited December 18, 2014 by rush_tech
Boredguy Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 5 devices total for our users, regardless if it's desktop or mobile. An install is an install.
Steve21 Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Out of curiosity, Can you use it as an install at school too? Just thinking if we're buying a new bunch of pcs this year with Windows licenses already, Office365 free, just buy cals and EES wouldn't be needed? Steve
themightymrp Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 @garethedmondson - I think your problem is to do with the proxy settings. I had the same issue here and had to import the proxy settings into the command line / powershell environment. Run powershell/cmd as administrator and enter the command: netsh winhttp import proxy ie Then try the DirSync again
Cache Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 There's various Office 365 promotional resources which came out just before the summer Office for Students -- Help Students Find Out about Free Office , however I just sent staff the same set of information and details which I produced for students last year when we went live with it.
truebluesteve Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 So... anyone cleverer than me know how to use Powershell to add the new tenant:OFFICESUBSCRIPTION_FACULTY licence to everyone who has the tenant:STANDARDWOFFPACK_FACULTY licence assigned? Before I start cludging my way through with CSVs, which will invariably involve missing someone... Nevermind, worked it out myself replace the word "tenant" with your school's tenancy. You can check your licence SKUs with Get-MsolAccountSku Connect-MSOLService -Credential $adminCredential $AccountSkuId = "tenant:STANDARDWOFFPACK_FACULTY" $OfficeSkuId = "tenant:OFFICESUBSCRIPTION_FACULTY" # get users $users = Get-MsolUser -all | where {$_.isLicensed -eq "True" -and $_.licenses[0].accountskuid.tostring() -eq $AccountSkuId} # assign licence for each user foreach ($user in $users) { Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName $user.userprincipalname -AddLicenses $OfficeSkuId Write-Host $user.displayname "granted Office licence" -f green } Worked a treat - thanks!
davipton Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Did anyone have any problems being able to see the link to activate the Faculty ProPlus benefit via VLSC > Online Service Activation? This may sound a little crazy, but I can not see the link to activate the benefit with our O365 tenant! I can see the order on VLSC that supplier ordered for us. Our student benefit I can see fine and find on VLSC and the Volume Licensing Online Service Activation screen. Its just the Faculty benefit cannot be seen anywhere. The order was processed several weeks ago, so I don't think its wait a day or so for Microsoft to catch up with itself. I have an open case with our reseller and Microsoft about this issue. I just wondered if it was just us or if other people are/were also affected like this. Regards, David

Misco were useless, had to log a call with Microsoft and we eventually got given a key code for our office 365 Tennant. Took 2 months mind....

davipton Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 @ellsandell @Sam_Brown Where did you manage to get your product key from for O365 ProPlus Open for Faculty? VLSC or reseller? Regards, David

Regards, David We got our order put through our resseller and after logging the error with Microsoft (VLSC) we got sent a key we could redeem directly into our tenancy. 1
davipton Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 On the Microsoft Volume Licensing Site under Licenses > Relationship Summary > Agreement > Product Keys Thank you @Sam_Brown for this. I have looked in this location and unfortunately we do not have an entry for the Faculty benefit. So i have passed this info on to Microsoft. Funny though, if i look in the licenses tab we do have licenses for this!! Regards, David
6Foot2 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Do we need Office 365 at our school to qualify? From my reading of the initial blog post, it appeared that we didn't need Office 365 in order for the teachers/staff to self register. Check eligibility for free Office 365 Education: Link 1: Office in education [students] Link 2: Office in education [staff]
Arthur Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Check eligibility for free Office 365 Education Our school e-mail addresses are still not recognized. http://a.pomf.se/qdpocg.png How much longer is it going to take, Microsoft?
ellsandell Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Our school e-mail addresses are still not recognized. http://a.pomf.se/qdpocg.png How much longer is it going to take, Microsoft? Have you got an existing Office 365 Tennant? I know we had to run a power shell command to get our email address added to the checkers.
