Great thank you very much From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jonathan Raper Sent: Wednesday, March 8, 2017 4:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] RE: Office 365 licensing question
Sean, Got an answer faster than expected....Granted, there are a LOT of idiosyncrasies with OneDrive and office versions and windows versions. You IDEALLY want to be on Win 10 with Office 2016, based on our experience thus far. That being said, this was our experience at the time (this was about a year or so ago): "So we hit a snag where a user with an E1 license would open and work on a shared OneDrive file and it would essentially "lock" the file so no one else could work on it. This appeared to be due to that specific user and the fact it was an E1 license it seemed to handle the "sharing" of the document different and it seemed to be related to the fact that E1 license was somewhat limiting. In addition, the user(I think*) had an older version of OneDrive and Office as well. Older versions don't handle the collaborative editing and such very well so having the same document open at the same time from different users gave it a heart attack. Once we moved the user to an E3 license, everyone else was also on an E3 and that seemed to clear up the issues. The creator of the file had to recreate it multiple times as well because we kept thinking Excel was getting corrupted or something."

Also, I can state that we have had a mix of E1, E3, and E5 licenses for our users. All users are mastered from on-prem AD, and then synced to O365 via Azure AD Connect. No "Cloud-only" accounts except for a couple of oddball exceptions. Recently (within the last 12 months), we upgraded all of our E1 users to E3, partly because of some funky differences between how E1 and E3 worked with OneDrive and we wanted consistency across the board. I don't remember the details, but can find out if you have questions, as one of my employees was running that project. Hope this helps.

Does anyone know if that's correct? We have several hundred employees that don't need a computer or Office, but do need e-mail, for timesheet purposes. We want to give those folks E1 licenses.
