While working on a Cutover migration for Office 365 I ran into an error with the default search folders in Outlook. The data had migrated successfully. The Outlook profiles were recreated. Mail was flowing. However, when clicking on the Unread Mail folder it resulted in the following error.

'Unread Mail' - The attempted operation failed. An object could not be found.

This same error occurred when clicking on other search folders; such as Categorized Mail, or, Large Mail.

Outlook Favorites

Recently I encountered the following error when completing a mailbox move from Exchange to Office 365.

  8/1/2015 12:00:00 AM [CY1PR11MB0001] Fatal error MrsHttpUnauthorizedException has occurred.

The initial sync had worked fine. The mailbox was AutoSuspended at 95%. It was ready to be completed. Yet, it did not want to go. I repeated a Resume-MoveRequest on a similar mailbox–same exact error.

Sadly, the interwebs seemed devoid of any real information. Luckily a good friend and colleague alerted me to the root cause. This error will occur if the password has changed on the account used to create the move request.

In my case, this had indeed happened.

To fix the issue we need to update the credentials on the move request. [Read more…] about Fatal error MrsHttpUnauthorizedException

Recently I ran into an issue where editing a Word document was painfully slow. Every time I typed a letter it was followed by an unbearable lag. Typing a sentence would sputter in dribs and drabs. This was not going to work.

SharePoint Online Document Library SyncThe document in question was stored in SharePoint Online. I was using the Sync feature for easy access from my local computer.

The fix was actually quite simple.

Fix Slow Document Editing

Check the bottom-right of your Word document. If you see something that says Updates Available click it. If successful the Updates Available notice will disappear and Word will perform at its normal speed.

If you hover over Updates Available before you click it, you will see a description of what is actually going on. [Read more…] about Slow Document Editing when using SharePoint Sync

If you have configured Exchange 2013 in hybrid mode then you have probably noticed the appearance of this link. It’s the Office 365 Mailbox creation link.

New Office 365 Mailbox link

However, if you have implemented RBAC this link may not show when you’d expect it to.

I ran into this recently when upgrading an Exchange 2010 hybrid environment to 2013. Previously the client had implemented RBAC where members of the helpdesk team were added to the Recipient Management group. In 2010 this allowed the helpdesk team to create and manage mail recipients; both on-premise and in the cloud. However, when this group attempted to use the 2013 management tools the Office 365 Mailbox link was absent.

After some digging–plus some trial and error–we quickly found an oddity. The short answer–its all based around one missing role entry. [Read more…] about RBAC hides the Office 365 Mailbox creation link

I was helping a fellow expert on Experts-Exchange recently. They were needing help with a PowerShell script. The task was to allow a user account Full Mailbox Access over all members that belonged to a certain distribution group.  After a little reworking of PowerShell this is what we came up with; and it worked!

I ran into a situation recently where users kept getting multiple passwords prompts when trying to access documents off SharePoint. It didn’t matter what kind of document the user was trying to open. Often they would be prompted as many as 2 or 3 times before the document would open and, it never made a difference if they checked to Remember Password or not. It was incredibly aggravating for my users and needed immediate attention.

Luckily the fix was quite simple
