Re: [OT] Office 365 Azure AD sync

Directory services for AAD had just been pushed out so you should be able to 
just use it for all AD needs. We've domain joined local servers to it just fine.

First question is if you still need local AD. With vpns and AD services on AAD, 
many don't now. If you do, ADFS allows for two way traversal.

Are you currently using ADConnect or the older Dirsync ?

Hey all,

I've recently switched from Google to Office 365, with user accounts on the 
Azure AD side of things.

I then thought I should set up the Azure AD connect thing which syncs the local 
AD accounts up to Azure AD but I discovered does not currently sync accounts 
back down to the local AD.

Kind of an OH CRAP moment when I realised the email accounts I've set up that 
are now functioning in the cloud quite nicely thank you very much are pretty 
much useless for authenticating with the local resources.

It would have been a nice touch. It was there in the preview (forget the name 
now, something like UserSyncback?) and hopefully it is coming soon. Anyone else 
hit this and have a work around? I could change all of the email accounts over 
to the local accounts that have been synced up to Azure but then I have the 
issue of having to move/migrate all of the mail between accounts.

Not sure how trivial that is, I might be able to migrate from cloud account to 
local account (the cloud copy) and then remove all of the cloud accounts and 
switch the email address over.

Other than that small issue, have been happy with it. The users however 
struggle with change. /me facepalm. Always the users.

Re: [OT] Office 365

[Stephen Price]

So if they are push Sharepoint Online, does that mean there was a
Sharepoint Offline?
Or is this another example of where Online means "In the cloud" versus self
hosted. No need to answer, being facetious.

Native implementations is only going to mean more jobs for developers,
right?

RE: [OT] Office 365

[Ken Schaefer]

Of course. But the “who uses SharePoint?” question kinda implies that 
SharePoint’s been superseded in all areas that it does (document storage, 
workflow, calendaring, collaboration etc.). So, I’m not asking for a ERP 
system, or a CRM or something that people might have shoe-horned into 
SharePoint before. But just looking at SharePoint’s core functionality 
(document lists, Office integration, AD integration etc.), is there anything 
that people are flocking to now that is, arguably, superior to the way 
SharePoint works (whether it be scalability, ease of use, extensibility, 3rd 
party add-in support, whatever)

I realise this is a bit vague, but I’ve only just started on this, so I haven’t 
yet compiled a list of requirements yet.

There really is quite a shift going on.

For years, every time we asked for enhancements to the portals in SQL Server

I've never liked Sharepoint, it always seemed to me to be an ugly, bloated,

Re: [OT] Office 365

Actually did some more reading and it looks like the business version gives
you access to Lync (for business), Sharepoint and I think collaborative
office editing. As well as the Home stuff. All of which I am not using so
don't need. I think Office 365 Home is the way to go for me right now.

the business version gives you more control in the "dashboard" to customise
stuff. I also don't think you're meant to use non-business versions for
commercial use, whatever that means. 

 I'm currently using the freebie given to me via my msdn account and its
 great. Its called Office 365 Developer Subscription. Its not documented
 anywhere that that is, but it says I'm using Office 365 Personal except I
 have +1 install (2 total) when compared with the real Office 365 Personal

 I have a few more machines than that, and have decided to drop Dropbox
