I can get both visible in OWA, but still have the same problem of not being able to view the contacts so decided for this one just to guide them to open another users mailbox (also didn't work out how to change the from address). Basically right click on your name in OWA and click Add Shared Folder, search for the user/shared mailbox and click ok. If you don't need to send from it (I have a couple of inbox/subscription addresses), perfect solution to view them at a glance.

Hi I'm feeling very thick today as I assumed this would work, but I've fallen flat on my face with it. I have setup a shared mailbox for our Admin email address to allow the 2/3 receptionists all to be able to check, monitor and deal with the incoming email addresses. All worked well, the shared mailbox connects in Outlook and can be opened in OWA and that's all good. I then copied the Admin address book into the Admin contacts folder and then hit a brick wall. If you Open another users mailbox in OWA then you can use the Admin contacts which is fine. In Outlook, while you can view the Admin address book through the contacts link, if you go to compose a new message you can't pick the address book from the list, it just doesn't appear anywhere. I then took a look at Public folders, which then appears within Outlook, but makes the OWA useless as I can't find away to view a public folder address book through OWA. Can anybody suggest any simple way I can view the address book of a shared folder, no matter how it is done, in both OWA and Outlook 2010? It's driving me bonkers!

Just been through similar to what you are doing: 1. I presume because DirSync was designed to be used in conjunction with ADFS it syncs whatever the UPN is in the Active Directory. If no domain name can be resolved with your domains added to Office 365 it still creates the user but assigns it a default domain to form the UPN. Not sure if you have or if it makes any difference if you set the Default Domain within Office 365 from onmicrosoft.com to whatever your domain is by clicking on your school/organisation name in the top right hand corner if you haven't already. 2. I followed this guide and it worked a dream: Installing and Configure DirSync with OU level filtering for Office365 - Denotation - Site Home - MSDN Blogs

Well I've done it, all mailboxes migrated across and no read receipts sent out. For Safety I set the Mail Rule to quarentine the Read: emails and then ran the migration, once complete disabled the mail rule and we're all up and running.

When you say SIMS runs on the new server, do you mean you've recently moved it to a new server? If you have, have you updated your deployment environment to reflect the correct paths and server name of the SIMS database with Solus3? (I know it's probably a stupid question) - The other thing to possibly try would be to within your Agent list, select your SIMS server and do a Get Target Version and see if it pulls the correct version into Solus3.

Try outlook.office365.com as the imap server instead, that's what's listed in the user settings for imap server.

I'm doing IMAP to Office 365, we don't have an onsite Exchange server. The last change I've made seems to have stopped them being sent when I've gone back to repopulating test accounts, although they do appear in the mailbox sent folder (but most definitely isn't ideal). I'm just wondering whether to migrate my mailbox across again to test it or try and borrow somebody else's.... What I've done following somebody's advice is create a Mail Flow Rule which will delete any message with Read: in the subject, but it needs to be very general and wide otherwise it doesn't seem to apply properly, for example if I try to include the filter to the sender is an Internal user it doesn't apply and allows the messages through.

FFS! Small bug?!?!? I'm pleased I did use my account now as it will probably have the widest range of emails in it, but I mean how can you call that a small bug?!? Done a bit more research and one person managed it with a mail rule, however I'm still not impressed! Back to testing on a smaller mailbox.....

Help! I've just been testing the migration of our current email to Office 365 and it was all going swimmingly, so got brave and decided to use my account as the next test. That went well, until I started getting a lot of bounced messages - for some reason the migration is reprocessing all the read and recieve requests and sending out replies to confirm they have been read and recieved - is there any way I can stop this from happening as I really don't want it to do that!

I've had a strange issue occur during my testing of Office 365 prior to launching it and that is several users once activated have had their password fall out of sync, including my account. I'm almost certain it is related to the activation of an account which is rather a pain really because you need to activate and account in order to use it. While I investigate it further, I have managed to find a helpful solution elsewhere courtesy of this KB2855271 Password synchronization troubleshooting guide for Office 365 The fix was to go about and create the registry key and alter the permissions to force a full password synchronisation which I've sumarised below below: Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MSOLCoExistance and create a new Key called PasswordSync On the key, set the permissions so that your synchronisation user can: Query Value Set Value Create Subkey Enumerate Subkeys Notify Read Control (The user is a local account and mine began with AAD_, find it by going to the services and see which user runs the Forefront Identity Management Service) [*]Create a new DWORD value under the PasswordSync key called FullSyncRequired and set it to 1 [*]Restart the Forefront Identity Management service (which should also automatically restart the Windows Azure Directory Sync Service) and check the event log for any errors. [*]Enjoy all your newly resynced passwords! Hope it's useful to someone else!

Perfect! Feeling happier about it already, just need to rest of it to go to plan now

Afternoon! Quick question because I'm in the final stages of testing Office 365 before I launch it. I have configured dirsync to synchronise users and passwords through to Office 365 and haven't bothered changing the local upn and everything is working loverly. What I've then done for 3 test users is editted the account on Office 365 and changed the username for the user from the onmicrosoft.com domain through to the one which matches their email subdomain (ie pupil.school.sch.uk or school.sch.uk). Everything appears to be working great still, password changes are synchronised up still, any details modified are all replicated in Office 365 - am I missing something really obvious which is going to come and bite me in a week/month/6 months/years time when the whole system is going to blow up on me or have I got it to meet every aim that was given to me?

Never mind, fixed it myself when I've taken a more objective look and a bit more searching. Modified to the following: $name = $_.SamAccountName $usercheck = $null # check if username exists already in AD $usercheck = Get-ADUser -Filter {sAMAccountName -eq $name} # Check search result to see if it's Null and then create the user If ($usercheck -eq $null) { Write-Host "User Check Completed" } # If it's not null, print out to screen Else { Write-Host "User: "$_.SamAccountName "already exists!"} } Still don't understand why the first conditional failed though :/

Evening I've been updating my new user script and setting it up in powershell, the intention being it will later be combined into calling some powershell for Office 365. I've got it all working apart from one small part, it fails to check if a user already exists. Could someone look to see where I've gone wrong please? $usercheck = $null # check if username exists already in AD $usercheck = Get-ADUser -LDAPFilter "(sAMAccountName=$_.SamAccountName)" # Check search result to see if it's Null and then create the user If ($usercheck -eq $null) { Write-Host "User Check Completed" } # If it's not null, print out to screen Else { Write-Host "User: "$_.SamAccountName "already exists!"} } At the moment, regardless of whether the user exists or not, the logic seems to assume it doesn't and runs through the creation script. It's a shame because it took me all day yesterday and while I understand what most of it is doing, I don't understand this simple logic. Thanks!

No problem, Course Manager scares the hell out of me, even more so since they updated it for Exams/Census last year! Pleased they are all there and your sorted!

I may be, and probably am, wrong so don't quote me on it. Our main timetabler isn't in again until Monday but I'll see if I can find my notes tomorrow.

It *should* automatically create the courses providing Nova-T6 is setup correctly if I remember rightly. I might be wrong as I haven't done much in NT6 this year, but I think the key bit you need in NT6 is Tools -> Assign Levels. I'm not 100% sure, but I think if this isn't set up correctly when the timetable is sent across then it doesn't create them. I also have a nagging thought in the back of my mind that once a Timetable has been submitted, if you submit again after updating the assign levels it still might not create the courses for you.... but don't quote me on that. Good luck!

I've spent up for the year unfortunately, however it may just be us but unless the invoice says September on it, it will count in the previous financial year and so I'd be overspent.

If your using 2008 R2 (not sure about 2008?), enable DHCP filtering, stick the MAC into a deny filter and see who comes and complains their device doesn't work first? I've done it with a couple of ipods/ipads but no one ever came to see me.....

Here you go, try this. Needs to be run on a machine which Excel installed on it and at the moment sets a password on the file of password. We use Office 2010 and remember having to adapt slightly when we upgraded from Office 2003, but it was mainly finding the correct save as version number. Source and Target files can be changed using the variables at the top and if you want to remove the password just take , "password" off the objWorksheet1.SaveAs line near the bottom.

Looking at a report I created, I've got the same issue. I gave up on it in the end, cobbling together a vbs script to manipulate the csv into an excel to add a filter to the top row, so atleast you can filter it to the student name and just view their details but it's still over multiple rows. If you want a copy let me know.

Have you used result sets? If not, I'm not sure how you can refresh it other then telling staff to right click on the column before entering and select blank column. They can then go down and enter the grades. If you have used results set, then if you go into your template, you can alter the result set on the Aspect and then your good to go. (From memory, it's been a little while since I've needed to play in assessment)

Thanks @TomCollins, that looks like a good option, only problem that might exist is the kids won't be able to come back to it, will have to be a one lesson job. I'll pass it on though and it might solve the problem (hopefully)

I went through 5 pages of results before posting believe it or not, but unless your seeing something I'm missing all that has is many ways of creating flashing text....

Evening As part of some coursework, students need to produce an animated banner for a website. I've been asked to suggest something free which is fairly simple to use to produce an animated banner. I don't think there's any requirement for it to be a flash animation but think it might be prefered. From my interpretation of it, an old hat an animated gif would do the job if something can easily produce that! Any suggestions?
