My mobile phone/tablet will not download my e-mail, or gives the message “Failed to connect to server”
This can occur when your password has expired. Login to http://login.microsoftonline.com to change your password. Office needs to check with the online server to make sure that the license is current. If you don’t connect for a while, it may also ask you to connect to rectify this.

How do I remove a user from Office365?
In Australia, when you wish to add or remove a user, you need to do it in two places.
- First you need to login to the Office 365 portal https://login.microsoftonline.com using your Admin account, that you received when Office365 was originally setup. The ID will be admin@yourdomainname.onmicrosoft.com
- Select Users and then find the username from the list and remove them. Alternatively, you can just remove the license assigned to it.
- Second, you will need to login to your Telstra T-suite account. Choose Modify Licenses and then change the number down by one. This option is not available if you have not yet removed the user and/or license from the Microsoft site.
- If you are wanting to remove your last user, or upgrade from Standard to Premium, then you will need to contact Telstra.

When attempting to login to Lync for Mac, I receive the error: Lync was unable to sign in.
Lync was unable to sign in. Please verify your logon credentials and try again. If the problem continues, please contact your support team.
This happens despite using the correct login credentials and if you do type them incorrectly, you get a very different error message.
After lengthy testing, Adaptable IT have discovered that this is an issue with the timestamp reference for the account (at least in Australian Time zones). To resolve this issue, simply change the time zone on your Mac (by clicking the clock in the top right hand corner, select Open Date and Time Zone Preferences) to New York and login again to Lync. This has worked for every client in every situation so far. Once you have logged in successfully, logout, change the time zone back to the correct one and restart your Mac.
Each subsequent attempt to login should now work and it will have the correct time zone.
