Microsoft Lync 2011 for Mac and Office 365 Fix
Last month I wrote a blog about connecting Office 2011 for Mac to Office 365. This post generated a lot of interest within the community, but mostly for the wrong reason! i.e pretty much everyone that tried this was unable to connect Lync 2011 on Mac to Office 365. The Lync engineering team have been…
A fix for the interoperability issues between Exchange 2007 and 2010 EMC and IE9 is now available
This has been irritating me more and more recently – I am generally quite a tolerant person, but sometimes its the smallest things that irritate you the most!. Anyway, it looks like there is a fix available.. I am out for most of this week without lab access so I cant test this, however I…
Outlook Performance Counters are missing–take 2
Back in the summer (remember that?) I wrote an article about viewing the Outlook performance counters and how to get them to be visible on Windows 7 and Vista. I have recently noticed that there are further complications to this. On one customer site we could not get the Outlook performance counters to register, even…
Exchange Server 2010 Cross Forest Delegation
This has been an interesting bit of work for me. I have been working with a customer who really needed to provide their users with the ability to manage calendars across different Exchange organisations. When they initially presented this requirement to me, my first thought was that we would be able to provide cross-forest availability…
Exchange 2010 MCM–Rotation 10
MCM Rotation 10 has just completed and was the first rotation that I have been involved as an instructor (albeit remotely on this occasion!). I noticed that Jeff Guillet had posted his experience here so I thought I would share it to give some more insight into what the program entails… http://www.expta.com/2011/10/exchange-mcm-training-comes-to-end.html I always like…
Office 365–With Mac OS X Lion, Microsoft Office 2011 and Lync 2011 for Mac
Many of the customers I work with are currently making their way through an Office 365 technical pilot that needs to include Mac OS X machines as well as various versions of Windows. The Windows stuff seems fairly well documented and since we now have a GA release of Lync 2011 for Mac OS X…
Office 365 User Community in the UK
Brett Johnson brought this to my attention last week – Way back at the beginning of this century I was a part of the NetApp user group and I found it a hugely rewarding experience. Since joining Microsoft I try to support all of our independent user groups for Exchange and UC where I can….
Office 365 Service Accounts–How do I stop DIRSYNC from breaking every 90 days…
So, this is something I wanted to blog about a few months ago but it got pushed to the bottom of the list of things to do (As usual!). Anyway… during the early adopter testing of the Office 365 service we had a number of customers who had deployed what was termed “Exchange Rich Coexistence”…
Office 365 and Autodiscover
I’ve had a few customers in the last few weeks ask me how autodiscover works for Office 365 so thought i’d write a post to try and help! (please see my other post for the namespaces required, as the correct autodiscover records will need to be created in DNS for on-premise and Office 365) As…
