Spiceworks using Office 365

By Support@MAJ.com and EM @QUE.com
We use Spiceworks for Help Desk to create automatic service ticket when someone send email to our Help Desk email address. After transitioning from BPOS to Office 365, the email didn't work.

To save you some time of troubleshooting, here's how it works.

Before Office 365, I configured my Spiceworks using BPOS (business productivity online services). These services are powered by Microsoft. Here's the old setup.

Setup using BPOS
Sender Email: help@Telebit.com
Display Name:  Telebit.com Help Desk

Outgoing Email
Protocol: Exchange
Server: http://red001.mail.microsoftonline.com/exchange
Auth: Requires authentication
Username: help@ Telebit.com
Password: my email password

Incoming Email

Protocol: Exchange
Server: http://red001.mail.microsoftonline.com/exchange
Auth: Requires authentication
Username: help@ Telebit.com
Password: my email password

Setup using Office 365

Sender Email: help@ Telebit.com
Display Name:  Telebit.com Help Desk

Outgoing Email
Protocol: SMTP
Server: podXXXXX.outlook.com; where podXXXX is the Outlook Web App server my mailbox is stored.
Port: 587
Auth: Requires authentication
Username: help@ Telebit.com
Password: my email password

Incoming Email

Protocol: POP
Server: podXXXXX.outlook.com
Port: 995, check Use SSL
Auth: Requires authentication
Username: help@Telebit.com
Password: my email password

Take notes:
- The podXXXX.outlook.com is the Outlook Web App server assigned to your mailbox. You can login to http://mail.office365.com with your email address and password, you will see the URL address of the Outlook Web App werver.
- The port 587, 995, and 993 (IMAP) must be added to your firewall policy. For this example, I only allow TCP port 587 and 995 for SMTP/POP ports.

I hope this help.

Office365 - This resource doesn't accept meetings longer than 1440 minutes

By Support@MAJ.com and EM @QUE.com
When you create a meeting schedule for number of days , you will see an error  "This resource doesn't accept meetings longer than 1440 minutes". By default the mailbox or room was set for a maximum limit of 1440 minutes. Here's how you can disable this limit. Login to the Office 365 Administration Console In Microsoft Office 365 Exchange, click on Manage . In Manage My Orgnization , click the drop down arrow, and click on Select on Another User . This will prompt you to select the mailbox or room to manage. Select a Mailbox or Room , click OK . In Option, click on Settings. In Scheduling Options, un-check the "Limit meeting duration", then click on Save. That's all. You can now schedule a meeting or reserve a room for number of days. Hope this help you.

VMware ESXi to add storage

By Support@MAJ.com and EM @QUE.com
Have you tried to add storage in your VMware environment after the initial setup and configuration? In my case, I needed to add storage for more space to copy virtual machine files. This is also the same approach to access a USB drive to import a vmx and vmdk files (virtual machine and data storage). For this article, I will provide a step by step procedure on how to add your USB drive from one of your Windows Server (or workstation). Let's use a Windows Server 2003 for reading your USB drive. By default, the NFS service is not enable. So, you have to add this service first. Go to Start , Control Panel , Add or Remove Programs , Add/Remove Windows Components , Other Network and Print Services , and select all for Microsoft Services for NFS . You asked, Why enable NFS Service? The VMware is based using Linux, so you need to enable NFS service to share your network drive or folder. Share a USB drive or folder. Open your Windows Explorer and browse your USB drive. In your
