Office.com.
31. Can I upgrade to PSTN Conferencing and PSTN Calling on E1 and E3?
Yes, customers with E1 and E3 will be able to upgrade to PSTN Conferencing and Cloud PBX + PSTN Calling
as standalone offers.
32. What options does a customer have in order to get PSTN calling with Cloud PBX?
Based on channel and geographic availability, customers can choose to buy Microsoft PSTN Calling as an
add-on to Cloud PBX in Office 365. In addition, customers can take advantage of their existing telephony
33. What licensing, if any, is required for Skype Meeting Broadcast public webinars?
Attendees do not need to have a license to attend a Skype Meeting Broadcast. However, if the organization
wants the attendee to be authenticated, then a Skype for Business license is required.
34. Are there any pre-requisites that need to be purchased and provisioned before a
customer can use Cloud PBX, PSTN Conferencing or PSTN Calling?
Yes, in order to use these services, customers must have purchased and have Skype for Business Plan 2
deployed as a standalone or as a component of Office 365 E1, E3, or E5 suites. To use PSTN Calling,
customers must also purchase Cloud PBX or E5 (which includes Cloud PBX functionality) as a pre-requisite.
35. Can a customer who has Skype for Business on-prem use PSTN Conferencing and
PSTN Calling through a hybrid model?
E5 and Cloud PBX customers will be able to connect their existing PSTN service provider with Microsofts
cloud-based call control. Scenarios are based on whether a customer already has a Skype for Business Server
deployed. Customers with an existing Skype for Business Server deployment can configure it to connect to
Cloud PBX functionality which is covered under existing Server licensing. For customers without an existing
server, they can leverage a minimal Skype for Business Server deployment with four preconfigured Virtual
Machines that are deployed on customer owned Windows Servers. Skype for Business Server roles in VMs
are not paid roles and are licensed for use with Cloud PBX.
Dial-out: This feature enables attendees of meetings organized by a user licensed for PSTN Conferencing to:
At meeting join from a mobile client, dial out to the mobile phone
39. What is included within the PSTN Conferencing and Calling service plans? What is
additional paid based on consumption?
Tolled Dial-in conferencing and domestic dial-out conferencing services are both included in the PSTN
Conferencing service plan. While both services do not have a pre-defined limit, there will be usage limits
designed to limit abuse and/or fraud and to protect the performance of the service. The details of these
limitations will be published on November 1, 2015.
In addition, there are two PSTN Conferencing features that will become available once they can be
supported by consumption billing: International Dial-out and Toll-free dial-in. Note that neither of these
features will be available with PSTN Conferencing until consumption billing is enabled later in H1 CY2016.
For PSTN Calling plans, inbound domestic calls, outbound domestic calls, and international calls are included
with the service in accordance with our excessive use limit policy. If the customer exceeds the excessive use
limits, the excess minutes will be billed on a per-minute basis.
40. What are the excessive use limits for PSTN Calling and PSTN Conferencing?
The total minutes of use for the excessive use threshold is calculated at the tenant level based on the
number of users licensed for the tenant. For PSTN Calling, excessive use is defined as follows:
For Domestic PSTN Calling plans, each licensed user is allocated 3,000 domestic dial-out minutes
that are pooled at the tenant-level.
For International PSTN Calling plans, each licensed user is allocated 3,000 domestic dial-out
minutes and 600 international dial out minutes that are pooled at the tenant-level.
For PSTN Conferencing Tolled Dial-in and Domestic Dial-out, there is no excessive use limit, only
limits designed to protect against fraud and abuse of the service and to protect the performance of
the service.
There will be a period of time between GA (12/1/15) and the availability of consumption billing (H1 CY2016)
where customers will be made aware of their overages via reporting but they will not be charged for their
PSTN Calling or Conferencing overages under the excessive use limits. This will serve as an important
opportunity to estimate future billing overage charges.
41. What if a customer exceeds the PSTN Calling excessive use threshold?
When a customer exceeds the PSTN Calling excessive use threshold, which is the culmination of all users
allocated minutes that is pooled at the tenant-level, during the period between GA (12/1/15) and the
42. What if an individual users usage went above the allocation limit in a monthly
period, will the customer be charged?
Not necessarily overage charges are only applied if the customers overall usage in a monthly period
exceeds the tenant-pooled limits. If an individual user goes beyond their user limit of 3,000 Domestic
minutes, for example, but the overall tenant-pooled limit threshold wasnt breached, then no, the customer
will not be charged for any overages.
PSTN Calling
Domestic Calling
International Calling
44. What services will incur consumption billing and which will not?
PSTN Services Subscription Consumption Rates Apply
*Tolled Dial-in Conferencing and PSTN Calling inbound calls be included in the subscription though there
will be terms of service designed to prohibit fraud and abuse and to protect the performance of the service.
**PSTN Calling plans will be subject to excessive use limits of 3,000 minutes per user for Domestic calling
and 600 minutes per user of International calling. Minutes will be pooled at the tenant-level and excess use
charges will be incurred and billed by the minute when the usage limits are exceeded.
46. Will the per-minute pricing be published in the Customer Pricing Sheet?
No. We want the latitude to drive our customers price for PSTN Services down over the term of our
customer contract. Therefore, the CPS will not lock in multi-year per minute pricing.
Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and United States (continental US, Alaska, and Hawaii).
For more information, please refer to the International Availability of Microsoft Online Services page on
Office.com.
48. Where will PSTN Conferencing Tolled Dial-in numbers be able to be provisioned at
launch on 12/1?
PSTN Conferencing Tolled Dial-in numbers will be available in the following countries and territories on
December 1, 2015:
Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico,
Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Slovak
Republic, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, UK, US.
49. What will be the experience for customers who will not get a local PSTN
conferencing tolled dial-in number, but will be provisioned with the service?
Users licensed to use the PSTN Conferencing service who do not have a local tolled PSTN dial in number will
be able to invite others to Skype meetings and have a local PSTN dial in number available to them in their
local area if they are located in the same local geography as a dial in number. If not, these invitees can
connect to audio using VoIP from their PC, tablet, or mobile phone or by dialing a number in a relatively
inexpensive international geography. The organizers who do not have a local dial in number will have the
same choice of options-- connecting to audio using VoIP from their PC, tablet, or mobile phone or by dialing
a number in a relatively inexpensive international geography.
50. How will customers pay for their consumption charges for PSTN Conferencing and
PSTN Calling?
Upon GA of our consumption billing capability, customers will be able to fund an account with Microsoft
from which the relevant consumption-based charges will be deducted. Customers will have the option of
setting the initial funding amount, funding from an EA agreement (if an EA customer) or other funding
instrument if not an EA customer, determining if the funding will be automatically or manually renewed
when the account hits customer defined limits, and reporting on the use of this account.
Additional details will be published closer to the H1 CY2016 GA date.
52. What will the limitation be that mitigate instances of fraud and/or abuse of the
conferencing and calling services that are included in plans?
Details on these limitations will be published on November 1, 2015, though these will change over time and
as our technology and ability to identify fraud and abuse and / or identify issues that impact service
performance mature.
53. Will we ever have calling plans that are billed strictly based on usage?
Future calling plans are not covered in this document.
Feature Details
Customer Lockbox
Description: Customer Lockbox ensures that no one at Microsoft can access customer content to perform a service
operation without the customers explicit approval. Customer Lockbox brings the customer into the approval
workflow for such access to customer content. As customers move data to Office 365, they may be concerned about
access to their data in the service by the service provider. In the rare cases, when a Microsoft employee needs access
to customer content to perform a service operation, Customer Lockbox provides customers with the ability to
approve or reject requests for access.
Resources
Announcing Customer Lockbox for Office 365 Blog Post
Microsoft employees do not have standing access to any service operation. All access is obtained through a
rigorous access control technology called Lockbox. Lockbox enforces access control through multiple levels
of approval within Microsoft, providing just-in-time access with limited and time-bound authorization. In
addition, all access control activities in the service are logged and audited. We built Customer Lockbox to
bring customers into the Lockbox approval process and to provide the customer with explicit control over
access to their content, in case a Microsoft employee needs access for an elevated service operation. We
recognize that providing customers with visibility into actions taken on their content and control over access
to their content in Office 365 are necessary to earn customer trust.
For additional details on customer content within Office 365, see the Office 365 Trust Center.
58. How does Microsoft ensure that a member of its staff does not access customer
content in Office 365 applications?
Microsoft implements extensive preventative measures through access control systems, and detective
measures to identify and address attempts to circumvent the access control systems. Office 365 operates
with the principles of least privilege and just-in-time access. Therefore, no Microsoft personnel have
permission to access customer content on an ongoing basis. If permission is granted, it is for a limited
duration.
Office 365 uses an access control system called Lockbox to process requests for permissions that grant the
ability to perform operational and administrative functions within the service. An operator must request
access to customer content using Lockbox, which then requires a second person to take action on the
request (e.g., approve it) before access is granted. That second person cannot be the requestor and must be
designated to approve access to customer content. Only if the request is approved does the operator
acquire temporary access to customer content. Once the elevation period expires the access is revoked by
Lockbox.
65. If a customer only licenses some of their users on Customer Lockbox, will the non-
licensed users also receive Customer Lockbox?
Users must be licensed for Customer Lockbox to ensure that they will receive the feature. For customers
who license Customer Lockbox for a subset of users, Microsoft does not commit to providing Customer
Lockbox access control approval requests for the users who are not licensed. Customers should license any
users for whom they want Customer Lockbox.
66. Can Microsoft modify the list of approvers for my tenant? If not, how is it
prevented from happening?
The Tenant Admin group is an identity within Azure Active Directory that is solely managed by the customer.
67. What if I need more information on the content access requests to approve it?
Each Customer Lockbox request will contain an Office 365 service request number that you can reference
when you contact Microsoft Support Services for additional details.
69. When a Customer Lockbox request is approved, how long are the permissions
valid?
The maximum period for permissions granted following a Customer Lockbox approval is currently 4 hours.
The engineer may request a shorter period as well.
71. How do I correlate the content access requests with the access logs that I have?
The Compliance Center Activity Feed will contain log activities of Customer Lockbox. Customers can cross-
reference the email approval notifications received by Tenant Admins and Compliance Center admins with
the log data received via the Activity Feed API.
72. What happens to requests that occur (or remain in the system) after I have
terminated Office 365 services?
Customer Lockbox requests have a validity of twelve (12) hours. Requests that are not acted on within 12
hours expire and cannot be approved.
73. What does Microsoft do in case the customer rejects a Customer Lockbox request?
If a customer rejects a Customer Lockbox request no access to customer content will occur. If a tenant user
was experiencing a service issue that required Microsoft to access customer content in order to resolve the
issue (though such circumstances are rare) then the service issue might persist, and Microsoft would inform
the customer of this outcome.
74. How do I know that Microsoft will not bypass Customer Lockbox in order to access
my content without my knowledge or approval?
Upholding privacy through transparency and control are fundamental principles of Microsoft cloud services.
Customer Lockbox is a manifestation of these principles. We will include in our audit logging features the log
data for Customer Lockbox, including logging for actions related to the configuration of Customer Lockbox.
Disabling Customer Lockbox for your tenant will also be captured in the audit logs.
75. With Customer Lockbox, will Microsoft be able to guarantee that it will not have to
turn my data over to a government or a third party?
No. Customer Lockbox was not designed with this in mind, and security features are not intended to
undermine our legal obligations. In the very rare case that we receive a valid legal demand for customer
content belonging to an enterprise, we would have to comply with it. However, our policies and practices
related to third party requests are described in our contracts. We only disclose customer content to a third
party when we are legally required to do so. Each request is reviewed by experienced Microsoft attorneys,
and access to the data is only requested/approved when a determination has been made that we are legally
required to respond. Even then, we always attempt to redirect the third party to obtain the data from you.
We also periodically publish detailed information about the requests we receive from law enforcement
agencies around the world. Those reports show that only an extremely small percentage a fraction of one
percent of our customers are ever the subject of a government demand for information, and the numbers
are even smaller in the context of our enterprise services. Our interests are completely aligned on this
subject Microsoft has no reason to comply with a third party request for customer content unless legally
required to do so.
77. What is the timeline for Customer Lockbox availability in Office 365?
Customer Lockbox is expected to be available for Exchange Online in Q4 of CY 2015, and for SharePoint
Online in Q1 of CY 2016.

Microsoft Ignite Series eDiscovery Redefined: Real Time and In-Place
With predictive coding you train the system what relevant data you are looking for and then use that to
make informed decisions about what to review based on the relevance of the documents.
With Equivio you will be able to use themes and search to analyze your data and get insights into how the
data is organized.
82. What are the primary differences between Office eDiscovery with Equivio vs. kCura
Relativity vs. Recommind Accelerate?
Office eDiscovery with Equivio enables the searching and culling of the data and applies additional analytics
for organizing the data. Relativity and Axcelerate are review tools that allow large teams of attorneys to look
at and make decisions on the individual documents that have been exported out of O365. Customers will be
able to take advantage of all of the analytics information provided by Equivio within these tools.
83. Can I use Microsoft eDiscovery to view all items, tag results, and export based on
my tags?
At this time Microsoft eDiscovery does not support document tagging.
84. I see the concept of Case within Equivio Analytics as well as inside the eDiscovery
within compliance center in Office 365. Are these same?
At the moment, the Case in compliance center is a different entity when compared to the Case Equivio
analytics. If you want to analyze a case using Equivio Analytics capabilities, you will need to create a case
from within Equivio Analytics.
86. What is the format of the file which is exported from Equivio? Is it CSV?
The data is exported in a package that contains the extracted text, a metadata load file, email in HTML
format, and attachments or SharePoint data in native format
89. How many files can I export from eDiscovery in the Compliance Center vs. Equivio?
There are no file limits to the exports.
90. How many mailboxes can I search via eDiscovery in the Compliance Center?
eDiscovery Search in the Compliance Center enables you to search unlimited mailboxes within your tenant at
one time.
91. Do you support keyword searches on Sensitive Type information, e.g. Credit Card
Number?
Yes
Architecture
92. How does Equivio fit with the existing Exchange Admin Center and SharePoint
eDiscovery Center tools?
Microsoft is continuing to invest in eDiscovery hold, search, and export capabilities in the Office 365
Compliance Center.
Compliance Searches in the Office 365 Compliance Center are used to select data to be analyzed with
Equivio Analytic
94. I have on-prem or hybrid Exchange, will Equivio work with this?
Data should be in O365 for Equivio Analytics to be able to work with it. For the pure on-prem scenario,
Equivio Analytics service will not work at the moment. You can be in a Hybrid configuration but Equivio
Analytics functionality can be only used for the data that is already migrated and present in O365.
Extensibility
Licensing
97. Is the support and serviceability story for Equivio Analytics same as rest of E5 SKU?
Equivio is part of Office 365 E5, so it will be supported like any other functionality you get with E5 SKU. It is
also a service, so we will be updating the service continuously with new features, bug fixes etc.

105. Will this service be included in any existing Office 365 plans?
No, Exchange Online ATP will not be included in any existing Office 365 plans or suites at launch. It will need
to be purchased separately. Different vendors in the Industry charge a premium for this service; we offer this
at a premium and a separate paid add-on.
106. How will customers be able to purchase this new service, and how will it be
priced?
Exchange Online ATP will be available for purchase to all commercial customers through the Direct, CSP,
Open, MPSA, and EA channels at an ERP of $2 per user per month. It will also available to multi-tenant
Government customers through the Direct, Open, MPSA, and EA channels at an ERP of $1.75 per user per
month.
108. Is the service available to Office 365 Government Community Cloud (GCC),
Office 365 Education, and Office 365 Nonprofit customers?
Exchange Online ATP will not be available at launch to Office 365 Government Community Cloud (GCC),
Office 365 Education, and Office 365 Nonprofit customers. It will only be available initially to Office 365
commercial and multi-tenant Government customers. Segment availability may expand in the future.
111. Can a user be configured only for safe attachments or only for safe links?
Yes, there are separate policies for Safe Links and Safe Attachments. Each policy can be applied to a specific
set of users . Furthermore, it is possible to have unique policies within Safe Links and Safe Attachments so
each group of users can have custom settings.
113. Will safe links rewriting in a message break existing DKIM signatures?
Yes, once a message has its links rewritten, any subsequent DKIM checking will no longer work. However,
EOP validates DKIM signatures before rewriting URLs and stamps the result in clear-text into the
Authentication-Results header. For example:
DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=contoso.com;
h=Received:Received:Date:From:To:Message-ID:Subject:MIME-Version:
Content-Type; s=s1024; bh=<body hash>; b=<signed content>
Authentication-results: protection.outlook.com; spf=pass
(sender IP is xx.xx.xx.xx) smtp.mailfrom=user@contoso.com
dkim=pass (signature was verified) header.d=contoso.com;
dmarc=fail action=quarantine header.from=contoso.com;
Any subsequent DKIM checks should rely upon this header rather than attempting to verify the DKIM
signature after it has passed through EOP.
115. Does safe links web service add any latency to browsing experience?
In the event that a link points to a non-malicious web site, Safe Links adds very little latency to loading the
target web page. If the link points to a malicious web site, then the user is routed to a warning page and
may click through (if click through is enabled) to continue on to the site.
119. Are there any changes with SLA for this service?
No, all SLAs are the same as EOP. No new SLAs have been added.
While ATA is focused on AD, Exchange Online Advanced Threat Protection is focused on emails, and
provides protection against malware, viruses with rich feature set of Safe attachments, Safe Links and URL
tracing, giving your office 365 admins a simple way to block prevent such attacks.
121. Will users require Shared Mailboxes to get advanced functionality for ATP?
Yes - users require Shared Mailboxes to have a license to get the more advanced functionality for ATP (and
other Office 365 component features like Equivio, EOA, or DLP).
