@Dashrender said in Exchange Online ActiveSync Organization Setting Effect: So you have to then manually approve them? You can create rules that would allow devices and such, but, for right now, On-High wants everything quarantined and then manually approved. So specific to your question: "yes"

@wrx7m said in Office 365 User Quarantine - How Do You Access After Redesign?: @dbeato said in Office 365 User Quarantine - How Do You Access After Redesign?: @wrx7m I have not found a way to do so, you can create a folder in Outlook to manage it from there. Example here http://www.expta.com/2015/02/how-to-add-access-to-office-365-eop.html Have you done this? The link that includes admin seems like it would try to access the admin portion, not the specific user's quarantine. If this works as I need, I wonder if there is a policy to set this up, or if it would be a manual, one-by-one endeavor. I have not but I can test.

@JaredBusch said in Email server options: @Dashrender said in Email server options: This comparison misses taking it beyond year 5. Why take it beyond 5 years? Because if it is on premises, it will need to be upgraded again. @Dashrender said in Email server options: If you add SA to the original licenses - because you know the plan is the keep using Exchange going forward - it will raise the costs noticeably in the beginning, but come renewal time it will make it significantly less. Less enough to be under O365? not likely, hell, even the 5 year plan would be more expensive for onprem vs O365... but it might lower itself over time because of the SA difference. SA is a scam to get more money. Always has been for the SMB. With negotiated pricing for Enterprise, it is the right thing. If you're a company that only upgrades once every 10 years - then yeah... SA is a waste of money, but you're already talking about upgrading again in 5 years, so SA could very much make financial sense - show me the numbers before you poo poo it.

@bbigford said in Exchange Online - Outlook signature - forwarding and original formatting: Using Exchange Online, newly migrated users from personal Gmail accounts. They created signatures and set the forwarding/reply with their signatures. The issue they are having is how Exchange handles original formatting. If I email the user with a signature, they then forward that and it keeps the nice formatting (HTML). If they receive a scanned document from the copier, and then forward that email (PDF with likely plain text formatting), their signature is plain text and looks terrible. I've messed around with the keep original formatting within Options > Mail, but still can't get their signature to display nicely with forwarding scanned docs from the copier. I can't really just say "that's how it is with this new email system" because when they scanned to their Gmail account, their signatures showed images, font color, etc. Do they have a transport rule for the email signatures? Usually the Email issue with Text Message format.

@momurda said in O365 Email search for Attorney -: @scottalanmiller Yes, and the not being able to use Discovery service, and teh not being able to add a pst to Outlook part. Those aren't things I'd expect a lawyer to be doing, though. That's tech work for technical people, not legal work.

We're having issues getting to the status and service health pages. Other then that email is flowing.

@stacksofplates I am pretty happy with it over all.

Is this purely a failed certificate issue? I mean that would make sense, but I've not done a lot with Exchange (and O365) besides dick-around with the settings as this organization has some major config issues.

@Minion-Queen said in Microsoft Exchange Online outage: We got mail just fine it's the sending that got us all day. That, also, would explain the overall silence.

@coliver said in New MailUsers from Account - Office 365: Resurrecting an old thread. We ran into this issue again after updating to the most recent version of Azure AD Sync. We needed to set the mailnickname attribute in AD for the mail users to be created again. This was in addition to having the targetAddress declared. Thanks for following up

Related to the actual cause of the problem, I apparently was testing some SMTP stuff a while back and disabled my rule to block all SMTP outbound on my network, then forgot to turn it back on. That rule is enabled again, so now waiting to see when it gets hit to find out what the hell on my system is sending spam. But, this still does not resolve the MS problem with the white listing until the CBL drops off.

Interesting. Frankly it only makes sense for MS to allow all their services access to online versions of Office whenever possible, for example your EOP1 plan - that's really cool that they will open an Excel sheet in Online Excel when using OWA, if they didn't it would severely limit the use (not that we weren't limited for decades).

@Dashrender said: Well the name.nk2 file itself might be retired, but the autocomplete listings are still there and are not fixed when someone changes addresses. I had this problem last year in Outlook 2013 They only way to fix that would be to clear the auto complete list. That's solely based on the most common emailed addresses. It's per user and doesn't store on exchange in anyway (and isn't sync with OWA, OWA uses it's own list)

Oh the thread, I see.

@thecreativeone91 said: Did you try disabling it then re-enabling it? @scottalanmiller said: Did you turn it off and back on again? The problem with that though is that it fails on multiple services. Both Outlook web app and IMAP (ManageEngine ServiceDesk). So this to me indicates a higher level problem as they can individually disabled..

I'm with you on Google Apps. It's a good product but it is very limited and doesn't have the look and feel of modern apps. I don't like using Gmail either. It's unnecessarily quirky and busy. Google doesn't make things as fun to use or as easy to use as they could. I think that the Chromebook model is better than it seems. Only problem is is that businesses are struggling to adapt to it. But it is a business problem and failing, not a Google one. Google supplies the tools, business can't grok them. In the same vein, the Linux world has everything businesses need and have for a decade or more and yet almost no businesses have cares to go down the 100% Linux path regardless of the massive savings and ease of use once the transition is over.
