• The most reliable solution for configuring mobile devices is to delete the existing e-mail profile and adding the new account. Step by step information is provided below.
• Please note: if all else fails, your NDUS e-mail and calendar is accessible via the web at portal.microsoftonline.com

Troubleshoot update and configuration issues for Office 365

Install Lync and run Office 365 desktop setup from the Office 365 portal for first time use.

1.     Go to the Office 365 portal. https://portal.microsoftonline.com

 

2.     When prompted, sign in with the same user name and password you used in BPOS.

***Note If you did not recently change your password in BPOS, Office 365 will not recognize your user name and password.

3.     After you sign in successfully, look in the right pane; under Resources, click Downloads.

4.     On the Downloads page, under Install Microsoft Lync 2010, select a language, choose the 32-bit or 64-bit version, and then click Install.

5.     After the installation of Lync has finished, return to the Office 365 Downloads page.

6.     Under Set up and configure your Office desktop apps, click Set up. The Office 365 desktop setup tool starts.

7.     If prompted, sign in with your user name and password.

8.     Office 365 desktop setup will check your system configuration. If the scan completes without detecting any problems, you'll be presented with options to configure your desktop apps.
If a problem is detected, see Troubleshoot update and configuration issues for Office 365.

9.     Select the apps you want to configure, click Continue, review the service agreements, and then click I accept

to begin installing updates and configuring desktop apps.

***Note: Some of the apps may have shaded check boxes. This can occur if your account has not been set up to use those apps with Office 365 or if your computer does not have the required apps already installed.
