In part one we installed the AD FS server on our corporate network, and tested that it was working.
Now we need to make the AD FS infrastructure available to the Internet in a secure fashion, so that Office 365 will be able to contact the AD FS proxy to authenticate user requests.

In the smelly MEC 2014 man purse, there was a shiny Exchange 2103 SP1 architecture poster. The MEC attendees were the first ones to get the update to the older Exchange 2013 RTM poster, which is now published for everyone!
I created a deep zoom of the poster so that it is easy to scroll around on phones and tablet devices. Click the
toggle button at the bottom right hand… Read the rest “Exchange 2013 SP1 Architecture Poster”

Now that the Windows XP, Office 2003 and Exchange 2010 SP2 support expiration date has come and gone, the world is still turning, and we are not in a state of Armageddon! *
That said, focus now needs to be on Office 2010 as it is 6 months until support ends for Office 2010 SP1 on the 14th of October 2014. At that point all Office 2010 installations need to be on SP2. This is detailed in the note… Read the rest “Office 2010 SP2– Do You Need To Upgrade?”
DirSync in one of my O365 test labs started to complain that there were some issues with objects synching to Windows Azure Active Directory (WAAD). EventID 0 was logging into the application event log, and stated: “The Management Agent 'Active Directory Connector' reported errors on execution”.
This is a an Exchange 2010 SP3 RU 7 based hybrid solution. Exchange 2013 is not present. DirSync is … Read the rest “DirSync Error 87 – The parameter Is Incorrect”

Time files and we are now at the end of the Exchange 2010 SP2 support lifecycle. And as previously discussed Windows XP and Office 2003 left extended support yesterday. It seems like only yesterday when Exchange 2010 SP2 was released in November 2011.
The support lifecycle marker is the Exchange 2010 Service Pack. Exchange 2010 Rollup Updates (RU), are not milestones in the support lifecycle. So… Read the rest “End Of Exchange 2010 SP2 Support”
MEC 2014 has now come and gone, and it's been both an exciting and tiring week! There was always so much going on that it was a constant battle to decide what to go and see next. But that is a great dilemma to face. I will be spending a lot of time in the coming weeks looking at the recordings on the IamMEC.com site.
