If you are an existing BPOS customer that uses Communicator, you may not realize that your existing Communicator Contacts won’t be migrated to Lync as part of the Office 365 transition. If you just have a handful of contacts this probably isn’t a big deal, but if you work in a large organization and have a large number of contacts in Communicator, you may want to back them up prior to the transition to Lync.
We’ve just released a free utility which simply backs up your Communicator contacts and then allows you to restore them to Lync.

MessageOps Config365 is small application which simply creates a new Outlook profile connected to an Office 365 mailbox. It was created to work around various Autodiscover issues that exist when performing a staged migration to Office 365. It is designed to be run by the end user after their migration.
In addition to creating a new profile it also attaches any PSTs they previously had attached to their old profile, to the new profile.
It’s free to everyone at config365.com. For more information, see the Config 365 Page.
With Microsoft’s recent announcement of the Set-MSOnlineUserPasswordNeverExpire PowerShell Command it’s now possible to set user’s passwords to never expire in your BPOS subscription. Below is a quick script to set all user’s passwords to never expire.
Before you can use the command you’ll need to download and install the latest version of the Microsoft Online Migration Tools. Then open the Migration Command Shell and run the following lines.
$creds = get-credential
$users = get-msonlineuser -enabled -resultsize 20000 -Credential $creds
$users | foreach {Set-MSOnlineUserPasswordNeverExpire -Identity $_.Identity -PasswordNeverExpire $True -Credential $creds}
Note that after the first line, you’ll be prompted for your BPOS Admin credentials. The last command should be run on a single line.
If you create new users after the script is run, you’ll need to either re-run the script, or use the Set-MSOnlineUserPassword on a one off basis to
MessageOps Office 365 OWA Notifier provides notifications of new messages and upcoming appointments to OWA users. Notifier is designed primarily for end users who use OWA instead of Outlook. When using OWA, it’s sometimes difficult to know when new mail has arrived or when you have an upcoming appointment. With Notifier, it provides several types of notifications even if your browser is closed.
It’s the perfect utility for Kiosk workers who want to be notified outside of the browser when new mail arrives.
A new feature for Office 365 is an integrated PST viewer, useful if you have transitioned to Office 365 and have decided to no longer use Outlook, but still need access to data stored in PST files.
Like many other MessageOps utilities, Notifier is available as a free download.
