To follow up on yesterday\u2019s Gmail migration issues:<\/p>\n
With the pain over, I can move on. I use the OWA interface of O365 from the office, so I can keep it separate from Outlook which is connected to the Office Exchange server and mail account. OWA works nicely.<\/p>\n
I had a play with the SharePoint Internet website. That was nice and easy to reconfigure. To be honest, I doubt I\u2019ll ever use SharePoint for my own stuff. I have a Home Server and I use Live Mesh, along with Carbonite backup. I can always get at my files either by a local replica or by browsing one of a number of sites.<\/p>\n
Lync \u2026 hmm. The DNS records are \u201cinteresting\u201d. I believe I\u2019ve got them set up correctly. My domain is with an ISP and I\u2019m not moving it to MSFT. I use it for a number of things and I want to retain control. Lync has been a ropey experience. I can\u2019t say it\u2019s as good as Live Messenger for staying in contact with people. I can hook up with anyone on Messenger without Federation. But Lync isn\u2019t built to be that way. In fact, all the instructions I\u2019ve seen imply that you can enable federation to specific domains. Not in the Office365 that I have: I can enable it or disable it and nothing more. I\u2019ve connected successfully to my Messenger account so I know it works. <\/p>\n
What doesn\u2019t work? Well, audio is just a wee bit important to Lync. And it cannot find my audio device. That\u2019s despite the fact that I listen to music, watch Silverlight and Flash webcasts, and so on with absolutely no issues. The Realtek audio driver is up to date \u2026 turns out others in the office with this model of HP PC (8100 Elite Convertible Minitower) have the same issue.<\/p>\n
Anyway, my main reason to get O365 was email, and that\u2019s now working fine.<\/p>\n
To follow up on yesterday\u2019s Gmail migration issues: Attempt 1 was to connect the email account: works nicely for Hotmail migration but Gmail is another story because it doesn\u2019t have real folders (using tags). My mails were coming into the inbox as unread. I quickly stopped and backtracked that. Attempt 2 was to use the … Continue reading “Day 2 of Office 365”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[59,186],"class_list":["post-12012","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-office","tag-cloud-computing","tag-office"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12012","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12012"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12012\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
