I did this one, installed my own cert into Outlook 2013 - my boss hated it - the little certificate icon made her think all of my emails were marked high priority.

Sure, when I want to buy/download something I have to make sure I pick the correct account - but we've been doing that on mobile devices for years.

Only you people in the WIndows phone world. I've never done that. Not sure when it would even come up.

LOL - I knew you would pick on that - but no, seriously - on my Android phone I would switch between different amazon accounts back in the day because they didn't allow shared content between account on Amazon services.

FYI - Google and Amazon services don't work well if at all on Phones phone (though Amazon does have an Amazon store app for buying stuff on Windows phone, but not for apps).

There's an apt phrase that I picked up while in Africa that applies well to this. It's not broken, it's just cheap.

There are always fringe cases. but most of my users are not such cases.

My users either. Sadly two of those boxes are on premise still. One is Exchange 2007 and the other is Exchange 2010 and OWA sucks there.

I circle the O365 question back to the people involved every few months.

On premise at customer sites? Yeah mine too, and I'll be upgrading to Exchange 2016 very soon to give the better OWA experience before we move to O365.

I've used egnyte in the past for situations like that, don't remember pricing or limits though

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.

Must have been the data center closest to Upstate NY.

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 in Backup of Office 365 Sharepoint sites:

Necropost!

Scott - do we know that MS takes backups? and where is the page stating as such (no I haven't looked myself).

@scottalanmiller said in Backup of Office 365 Sharepoint sites:

It is very important to remember that you have outsourced your hosting as well as your reliability and backups. Nothing wrong with taking your own backups, just keep in mind that they are already taking backups and your backups are a third party backup above and beyond the normal backups and a degree of backup that you would never consider (normally) doing if you were not hosted. The desire to take your own backups is generally an emotional one and not one based on actual, statistical risk.

So you're saying that you can call up MS and say - hey I need you to restore all my ODfB account to yesterday because i got hit by Cryptowall - and they will do it?

Doesn't that tool give you version rollback built in?

@scottalanmiller said:

Did you manage to get an answer on this?

Yes - Thanks.
By creating the rule to delete the message worked.

Doh!

@scottalanmiller What are you using for company email archiving? I no longer have a need for a solution that records up to 10 years, but always curious what others use.

We use all integrated with O365 these days.

Check out Waterford Technologies.

Will this be a thread that escalates quickly?

I hope to keep it curtailed to just the facts - if you want to whine or better - ask for help regarding an issue/outage, please make another thread.

Export Contacts from OWA in Office 365 Exchange Online

Thanks! I'll give this a shot.

@GregoryHall's method is what I used to do this exact thing a while back.

Only thing I wasn't able to figure out was how to automatically add the group to people's lists - I ended up writing up some tutorials on how to add groups and which one to add for one of our departments that needed to use S4B.

I would certainly never call it amazing or wonderful!

They had some dark years. System is returning to glory now, I think.

Okay, just keeping it alive as their last "it'll be 24 hours and we are watching it actively" was over a week ago so I have to keep on top of it.

That does look much better. The old one is not good at all.

We all know Microsoft's servers like to aggravate @scottalanmiller just because they can.
