Quick OneDrive for Business Provision

OneDrive does not sync

Første gang en bruker logger seg på OneDrive for Business kontoen sin via Office 365 eller FEIDE så vil det ta litt tid før du faktisk kan bruke OneDrive. Dette kan ta alt fra 30 sekunder til 5 minutter.

Det er mulig for deg å få dette til litt fortere for å ikke bruke unødvendig tid på å vente.
Se denne video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-v7z2E8dT0

For å beskytte seg selv så har Microsoft designet Office 365 slik at de automatisk gjør ikke plass til brukeren før den kommer i aktivt bruk. Dette gir mening for Microsoft spesielt i skolen hvor tjenesten er gratis og skole ofte overprovisjonerer brukere. Det er også slik at ikke alle brukere blir aktive brukere.
Det finnes også et Powershell script som du kan kjøre. Dette scriptet provisjonerer opp brukerne dine automatisk før de har logget på. Scriptet kan ta 100 brukere av gangen, så det kan ta litt tid.

Office ProPlus Activation and Offline computers

Reduced Functionality Mode / Aktivering

What if you image a PC With Office 365 ProPlus or prevent it from going online for an extended period of time. Note: I have not yet tested. Any feedback is welcome.

 

Quick interpetation of answer from Microsoft: The red activation ribbon will be visible and Office will prompt you to get online to activate if Office has been activated once before or never activated. If Your License is revoked then Office will enter into reduced functionality mode.
The answer from Microsoft below is different depending on the agent. They seem to have trouble predicting  when Office shows Reduced Functinality versus Activation Error.

Scenario 1: IT sets up student PC With OfficeProPlus from 365 and 10PC are saved as “Spare machines” they are IDLE for 180 days. At first boot, internet is not present.  (Activation Error)
Scenario 2: Teacher/Student does not use his/her PC for 67 days. PC is then booted up without internet. (Activation Error)

In these scenarios two Things can happen:
Answer 1 Reduced Functionality Mode
Answer 2: Activation Ribbon, but full functionality  

This is what Technet says:

Important:
Because of its online activation features, Office 365 ProPlus won’t work on computers that are completely cut off from the Internet. For those computers, we recommend installing Office Professional Plus 2013 and using a traditional activation method such as Key Management Service (KMS) or Active Directory Domain Services. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg982959(v=office.15).aspx

This is what Office 365 Support Says:

The Office Pro Plus package that you download from the portal is in relation to Exchange Online which needs internet connection in order to be able to use it. that This product id active for 30 days and it the machine on which you install it needs internet connection so that it can remain active. If you will not connect the machine to the internet, the product will get inactive, and you will still be able to use it but some options may disappear. (EDIT: Reduced Functionality Mode)

 
As part of the installation process, Office 365 ProPlus communicates with the Office Licensing Service and the Activation and Validation Service to obtain and activate a product key. Each day, or each time the user logs on to their computer, the computer connects to the Activation and Validation Service to verify the license status and extend the product key. As long as the computer can connect to the Internet at least once every 30 days, Office remains fully functional. If the computer goes offline for more than 30 days, Office enters HYPERLINK “http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg982959%28v=office.15%29.aspx”reduced functionality mode until the next time a connection can be made. To get Office fully functional again, usually a user can simply connect to the Internet and let the Activation and Validation Service reactivate the installation.

On the other hand, the Office Pro Plus package will get inactive after 30 days, and after a couple of more days it will go into the Reduced Functionality mode.

In reduced-functionality mode, programs function similarly to viewers. When a program runs in reduced-functionality mode, many commands are unavailable (dimmed). Therefore, you cannot access those functionalities. Some limitations of reduced-functionality mode include the following:

•You cannot create new documents.
•You can view existing documents, but you cannot edit them.
•You can print documents, but you cannot save them.

 No existing Office files are damaged. Additionally, you can easily stop Office from running in reduced-functionality mode. To do this, follow the instructions on the screens that appear.

Alternative to Chromecast for Windows PC, Phone, Tablet and Android

Screenbeam Miracast alternative to Chromecast

This is a hands on test of the Actiontec ScreenBeam Mini

Product Link: http://www.actiontec.com/327.html

If you are looking for a way to wirelessly transfer the content of Your screen to “the big screen” there are 3 popular ways to do it.

  1. Apple TV
  2. Chromecast
  3. Miracast

Of the 3 Technologies above, Miracast is probably the dumbest Technology. Miracast is only a Wireless HDMI/VGA cable. It does what the HDMI/VGA cable is supposed to, transmit sound and image. If you compare it to Apple TV or Chromecast the Miracast will disapoint you since you MUST Connect it to a computer for it to do anything at all.

The Box

The Box feature all you need, the adapter itself can take Power from USB on the tv or from the wall socket.

Connecting the unit

There is also a HDMI extension cable if the dongle does not fit into the TV directly.
Here is a tip: Leave the metal band on the USB cable to avoid cable clutter!

A note on Power.

The unit require a larger powersupply like HDD’s so if Your TV has a HDD usb port it will supply the right amount of Power, plug it into any other port and it may start to reboot constantly. You may also Connect it to the wall socket.

Connect it to Windows 8

It’s fairly easy to Connect it using a Windows tablet, here on a Dell Venue Pro 8

Personal touch on during connection
