I have a ticket open with Microsoft, however I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue. Steps I have done: Re-run configuration wizard Uninstall dirsync, re-install dirsync Stand up a brand new server, load dirsync from scratch After roughly 2 days without fail I get this error and dirsync stops synchronizing passwords: Password synchronization failed for domain: district.local. Details: System.ArgumentException: An item with the same key has already been added. at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.Insert(TKey key, TValue value, Boolean add) at System.Collections.ObjectModel.KeyedCollection`2.InsertItem(Int32 index, TItem item) at Microsoft.Online.PasswordSynchronization.PasswordSynchronizationTask.UpdateObject(DirectorySearchBuilder searchBuilder, DirectoryAttributeSearchResult result, ChangeObject changeObject) at Microsoft.Online.PasswordSynchronization.PasswordSynchronizationTask.BuildPasswordBatch(IList`1 passwordChanges, IEnumerable`1 changeObjects) at Microsoft.Online.PasswordSynchronization.PasswordSynchronizationTask.BuildPasswordBatch(IList`1 changeSetObjects) at Microsoft.Online.PasswordSynchronization.DeltaSynchronizationTask.SynchronizeCredentialsToCloud() at Microsoft.Online.PasswordSynchronization.PasswordSynchronizationTask.SynchronizeSecrets() at Microsoft.Online.PasswordSynchronization.SynchronizationExecutionContext.SynchronizeDomain() at Microsoft.Online.PasswordSynchronization.SynchronizationManager.SynchronizeDomain(SynchronizationExecutionContext syncExecutionContext)

just to recap UMRA tech support helped me add the above script to the automation. Thanks for the responses.

We are using UMRA by tools forever, it pulls the users from our SIS, generates the AD accounts and creates their Office 365 email account. I wonder if I can just add the -DisabledPlans MCOSTANDARD to where I declare the variable for the SKU. Going to check with the vendor (tools4ever). It sounds like I could also run a scheduled task to strip the sku from the user.

I've asked MS to remove the sku on the backed for my students. If that doesn't work I'll play with the script, although that could be tricky since we are fully automating account creation. Thanks for the responses.

Need a hand finding the powershell command to remove Lync from my current A2 Sku. Thanks!

Is this just a UK rename or global?

I'm trying to reconnect the mailbox of a deleted user to a new account I created in AD...can't seem to figure it out. The link doesn't seem to apply to federated. I guess I'll submit a ticket to MS.

Hey guys, does anyone know how to reconnect a deleted account in office 365? We are using adfs.... Thanks in advance.

That happened with my tenat a couple weeks ago. I had to contact MS and get them to fix it. They fixed it the same day as I recall. It's something on their end....

Just wondering if anyone has any new user scripts they'd like to share. We are federated so we need to force a dirsync in there somewhere. Right now I'm logging into local powershell, then forcing a dirsync and then running a script in remote ps to add the license, set the time zone, and the usage location. thanks.

it seems like ADFS is still necessary for SSO because there is no token sharing according to what I've read? However, would this eliminate my adfs servers from being the single point of failure (if adfs servers go down, users can still login)?

Depending on the complexity of your on premise exchange environment, going with an implementer can make a lot of sense. Especially if you are going the ADFS route. There are plenty of gotchas along the way. I would choose whatever route you think will be the easiest to maintain in the long run. Make the decision now on whether to federate and then you won't have to clean it up later. We were assisted by an implementer, however our environment was quite a bit larger than yours (20K students, 2500 staff). Your quoted price seems a little high, but fairly in line with what I would expect.

what are the pros / cons of I am cloud? also, what is the cost? Thanks.

setup ADFS and none of your techs will need global admin, they can reset passwords through AD...

It redirects to the new mobile page. Does anyone know how to unhide it? This new mobile interface is really annoying. Also, does anyone know if we can we expect a proper iPad app at some point?

There is now a supported migration path for public folders see: Migrate Public Folders to Exchange 2013 From Previous Versions: Exchange 2013 Help

VMM will do it, and manage your cluster. If you're running 2012 you will need SP1 which is still in Beta.
