Available through own O365 portal

Hi Markga, will this offer also be available through our own Office365 portal? So teachers get an download link on their welcome page? I think it is because our reseller told us that in the new Microsoft Agreement there will be an E3 license included. Just to double check with you!

@available - it will be available through your own portal when you obtain the license from your reseller available on December 1st. You will then have to assign the license via powershell to your faculty/staff. You could also combine the self service link above with your existing Office 365 users.

So, if a professor happens to create a duplicate identity by virtue of using his primary SMTP address instead of his UPN, how can we handle that from an administrative perspective?

@ Tony - you can disable auto-account creation on the admin side to prevent duplicate accounts. To disable Auto Account creation via Azure AD PowerShell: (note: need to update to latest Azure AD Powershell first) run this:

Set-MsolCompanySettings -AllowEmailVerifiedUsers $false

@Mark, it looks like we might not have the latest Azure AD PowerShell. We'll work on that.

I still have the question, though, of how to manage the accounts that have already been created using primary SMTP. Thoughts?

Hearing that we will not be getting a Christmas present in the UK; likely to be 1015?

We plan to offer the Student Advantage via self service initially, however later in 2015 we plan to offer Office 365. At this point we plan to sync AD via ADFS for single sign on.. Will it be possible to match up those accounts which have been created via self service with the accounts in AD?
Any advice on how we deal with this would be helpful.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Markga,

Do you have any updates about the availability of the Self-Service options for schools outside the US?

Thanks,

@Dotun - Sorry I don't have a current status for self service options for users outside of the U.S. as I only cover U.S. I will post if I hear anything.
