Office 365 Sync and Single Sign On

[L3OUGH]

Hi all,

 

We are using DIRSync to sync our AD to MS Azure, this went through successfully. All staff can log into the Office 365 Portal fine, however when they open locally installed Office suite it automatically logs the user in with their domain ([email protected]) account not the 365 account.

 

If they were to hit 'Switch Account' and enter their 365 email and password then it goes through and remembers it fine. But as with everything, it will be so much easier if we can streamline it.

 

Is there anyway to get office to automatically sign in with the 365 account instead of the domain account without using federation services..?

You would probably need to change their UPN suffix in AD from domain.local to domain.com.

We are having a nightmare with this. Our DIRSync is telling me it cannot see the Azure servers. I've contacted the LEA but they are so darned slow getting back to me.

You need to change the local UPN to your external domain name (i.e. [email protected]).
