I already have a website. Will it move to Office 365 when I add my domain?

I already have a website. Will it move to Office 365 when I add my domain?

If you already have a website with your domain that is hosted outside Office 365 operated by 21Vianet, it doesn't move to Office 365 when you add your domain. You can keep hosting your website where it is, while you use Office 365 to host your email as well as use team sites, instant messaging, and so on. In the domains setup wizard, choose Yes when asked if you have a website you currently use.

Note:  To learn how you get started using your domain with Office 365, see Verify your domain in Office 365. We'll show you the steps the domains setup wizard includes that guide you through adding your domain to your Office 365 subscription, changing your email address (which is also your user ID for Office 365) to use your domain name, and setting up your users' email addresses with your domain.

Enable or disable modern authentication in Exchange Online

Enable or disable modern authentication in Exchange Online

Modern authentication in Office 365 enables authentication features like multi-factor authentication (MFA) using smart cards, certificate-based authentication (CBA), and third-party SAML identity providers. Modern authentication is based on the Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL) and OAuth 2.0.

When you enable modern authentication in Exchange Online, Outlook 2016 and Outlook 2013 (version 15.0.4753 or later, with a required registry setting) use modern authentication to log in to Office 365 mailboxes. For more information, see How modern authentication works for Office 2013 and Office 2016.

When you disable modern authentication in Exchange Online, Outlook 2016 and Outlook 2013 use basic authentication to log in to Office 365 mailboxes. They don't use modern authentication.

Notes   

  • Modern authentication is enabled by default in Exchange Online, Skype for Business Online and SharePoint Online.

  • Other Outlook clients that are available in Office 365 (for example, Outlook Mobile and Outlook for Mac 2016) always use modern authentication to log in to Office 365 mailboxes.

  • You should synchronize the state of modern authentication in Exchange Online with Skype for Business Online to prevent multiple log in prompts in Skype for Business clients. For instructions, see https://aka.ms/SkypeModernAuth.

Enable or disable modern authentication in Exchange Online

  1. Connect to Exchange Online PowerShell as shown here.

  2. Do one of these steps:

    • Run this command to enable modern authentication in Exchange Online:

      Set-OrganizationConfig -OAuth2ClientProfileEnabled $true
    • Run this command to disable modern authentication in Exchange Online:

      Set-OrganizationConfig -OAuth2ClientProfileEnabled $false
  3. To verify that the change was successful, run this command:

    Get-OrganizationConfig | Format-Table -Auto Name,OAuth*

Set up email on a Nokia (Symbian OS) phone

Set up email on a Nokia (Symbian OS) phone

If you're using a supported Nokia device that's running the Symbian operating system, you can use the Nokia email application, Mail for Exchange, to set up your email using Exchange ActiveSync. When you use Exchange ActiveSync, you can access your account information, including email messages, calendar entries, contacts, and task information. If you only want to use email, you can set up POP or IMAP email on a Nokia.

Most Nokia mobile phones support Exchange ActiveSync. For information about which Nokia devices support Mail for Exchange, see "What else do I need to know" later in this topic.

Note:  If your Nokia phone is a Windows Phone, see Set up email on Windows Phone.

What else do I need to know?

Set up Exchange ActiveSync email on a Nokia mobile phone

  1. On the Applications menu, select Applications > Mail.

  2. Select Create a new mailbox to start the setup wizard.

  3. Accept the Nokia terms of service and select Start.

  4. Select Mail for Exchange from the list of available account types, and then enter the following information:

    1. In the Password box, enter your account password.

    2. In the Username box, enter your user name, for example, tony@contoso.cn.

    3. In the Domain box, enter your domain. Your domain is the part of your email address that follows the at sign (@) and precedes the period, for example, contoso.

    4. Select Next to continue. The setup wizard will try to automatically set up your email account.

  5. If the wizard is able to set up your account, go to the next step. If this process can't be completed automatically, you'll need to enter your Exchange server name manually. In the Mail for Exchange server name box, enter your server name, and select Next. If you're connecting to your Office 365 email, use partner.outlook.cn for your server name. If you are not using Office 365, see Find your ActiveSync server name later in this article.

  6. Select OK when Mail for Exchange informs you that it isn't recommended to use multiple methods to synchronize your contacts with your phone.

  7. Choose whether you want to synchronize your Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks by selecting the appropriate options and then selecting Next.

Find your Exchange ActiveSync server name

If your email program is not able to automatically find your Exchange ActiveSync server name, you may need to look it up.

If you're connecting to your Office 365 email, use partner.outlook.cn as your Exchange ActiveSync server name. The Exchange ActiveSync server name partner.outlook.cn can be used if you are using the latest version of Office 365.

If you're not using Office 365 or if you aren't sure if you are using the latest version of Office 365, follow these steps to look up your Exchange ActiveSync server name. Follow these steps to determine your Exchange ActiveSync server name.

  1. Sign in to your account using Outlook Web App.

  2. In Outlook Web App, on the toolbar, click Settings Settings icon > Options > Account > My account > Settings for POP and IMAP access.

Note:  Although you're not setting up a POP3 or IMAP account, you'll use the POP server name to determine your Exchange ActiveSync server name.

  1. On the Settings for POP and IMAP Access page, under POP setting, look at the value for Server name.

  2. If the Server name shows partner.outlook.cn, your Office 365 account is on the latest version of Office 365, and you can use partner.outlook.cn as your Exchange ActiveSync server name.

  3. If the Server name value is in the format podxxxxx.partner.outlook.cn, your Office 365 or other Exchange Online account is not yet on the latest version of Office 365, and you can use m.partner.outlook.cn as your Exchange ActiveSync server name.

  4. If the Server name value includes your organization's name, for example, pop.contoso.com, then your Exchange ActiveSync server name is contained in address bar in your browser when you are signed in to Outlook Web app - -but without the leading https:// and without the trailing /owa. For example, if the address you use to access Outlook Web App is https://mail.contoso.cn/owa, your Exchange ActiveSync server name is mail.contoso.cn.

  6. The recorded slide show timings are automatically saved and the slide show appears in Slide Sorter view with timings beneath each slide.

You can record a narration before you run a presentation, or you can record it during the presentation and include audience comments. If you do not want narration throughout your entire presentation, you can record separate sounds or comments on selected slides or objects. For more details, see Record a slide show with narration and slide timings.

By using a self-running presentation, you can communicate your information without a presenter. For example, you can set up a presentation to run unattended in a booth or kiosk at a trade show or convention, or you can send a CD with a self-running presentation to a client.

You can make most controls unavailable, so that your audience cannot make changes to your self-running presentation. Self-running presentations restart after they are finished and when they have been idle on a manually advanced slide for longer than five minutes.

To package a self-running presentation to run on a CD, network, or computer, see Copy a presentation to a CD, network, or local disk drive.

self-running presentation

When you design a self-running presentation, keep the environment in which the presentation will appear in mind — for example, whether the booth or kiosk will be in an unmonitored public place or whether supervision will be available. By keeping the environment in mind, you can better determine what elements to add to your presentation, how much control to give your audience, and what steps to take to prevent misuse.

Options that you might want to consider when designing a self-running presentation include the following:

  • Hyperlinks and Action buttons    You can use hyperlinks to help your audience move through your presentation or move to other programs. You can also use action buttons, which are built-in navigation buttons that can give your presentation the look and familiarity of a Web page, with buttons for Home, Help, Back, Next, and so on.

  • Voice narration    You can add recorded narration that plays with your presentation.

  • Automatic or manual timings    You can set up your presentation to run by itself by using automatic timings, or you can set up your presentation so that your audience can navigate through it at their own pace by clicking action buttons. If you set up your presentation to run at a kiosk, only objects with hyperlinks or action buttons can be clicked.

If you want your audience to move through your self-running presentation freely, you can add hyperlinks or action buttons to provide navigation.

  • Hyperlinks    

    You can add hyperlinks that go to custom shows, specific slides within your presentation, different presentations, Microsoft Office Word documents, Microsoft Office Excel worksheets, locations on the Internet or an intranet, or e-mail addresses. You can create a hyperlink from any object, including text, shapes, tables, graphs, and pictures.

    To learn how to add a hyperlink, see Create or edit a hyperlink.

  • Action buttons    

    PowerPoint includes ready-made action buttons that you can add to your presentation and that you can define hyperlinks for. Action buttons contain shapes, such as right and left arrows. Use them when you want to include commonly understood symbols for going to next, previous, first, and last slides. PowerPoint also has action buttons for playing movies or sounds.

Adding narration can help deliver information more clearly in your self-running presentation.

To record a narration, desktop computers require a sound card, a microphone, and a microphone connector. Laptop computers require only a microphone and a microphone connector. You can record a narration before you run a presentation, or you can record it during the presentation and include audience comments. If you do not want narration throughout your entire presentation, you can record separate sounds or comments on selected slides or objects.

Note: Be prepared to begin timing your presentation immediately after you perform the first step in this procedure.

  1. On the Slide Show tab, in the Set Up group, click Rehearse Timings.

    The Rehearsal toolbar appears and the Slide Time box begins timing the presentation.

    1 Next (advance to next slide)

    2 Pause

  2. While timing your presentation, do one or more of the following on the Rehearsal toolbar:

    • To move to the next slide, click Next.

    • To temporarily stop recording the time, click Pause.

    • To restart recording the time after pausing, click Pause.

    • To set an exact length of time for a slide to appear, type the length of time in the Slide Time box.

    • To restart recording the time for the current slide, click Repeat.

  3. After you set the time for the last slide, a message box displays the total time for the presentation and prompts you to do one of the following:

    • To keep the recorded slide timings, click Yes.

    • To discard the recorded slide timings, click No.

      Slide Sorter view appears and displays the time of each slide in your presentation.

Setting up a presentation to run at a kiosk allows you to control whether a mouse click anywhere on the screen advances a slide. For example, if you want your presentation to be viewed at a specific pace, set automatic timings, and then set the presentation to run at a kiosk. To give users additional control, you can add navigation, such as hyperlinks or action buttons, to your slides.

  1. On the Slide Show tab, in the Set Up group, click Set Up Slide Show.

  2. Under Show type, click Browsed at a kiosk (full screen).

Important: If you set up a presentation to run at a kiosk, remember to also use automatic timings or navigation hyperlinks. Otherwise, your self-running presentation will not advance beyond the first slide.

Save notes and notebooks

Save notes and notebooks

Unlike in other Microsoft Office applications, there's no Save command in OneNote. That's because manually saving your work in OneNote is never necessary.

OneNote automatically and continually remembers and saves everything you do — including typing, editing, formatting, organizing, searching, and sharing your notes. You can even safely exit OneNote at any time without first closing your notebooks or manually saving any of your work. OneNote saves and retrieves everything automatically.

Don't believe it? Try it out for yourself. Go to any page in your notebook, type some text, and then immediately exit OneNote. Start it up again and you'll see the last page you were on — complete with the last text you typed.
