We are looking to migrate a client from a locally supported version of MS Office (including Outlook) to a hosted version. this won't be the "web-based verison" of Outlook-- but moving to a hosted provider that provides remote access to the Window/Office environment.
We are looking to maintain the connection with the SugarCRM Outlook plugin. The client is currently using Sugar Professional hosted by SugarCRM.
What changes to the SugarCRM Outlook plugin need to be made to bridge between two hosted versions?
Like the Impossible Mission team, Sugar will disavow any outlook plug-in operation beyond a stand alone desktop. However, if the computer in question allows each individual to have their own profile in a remote desktop session (with something like Windows 2008 R2). I don't see how you would have any problems. Just don't tell Sugar I said anything, they think their the only ones in here!
If it's just an ordinary hosted Outlook (accessed with e.g. Remote Desktop), you properly only need to install (with admin rights) the Sugar outlook plugin on the hosted environment/outlook and configure it like before.
The Sugar outlook plugin is a client-side plugin, so if you are able to install it on the hosted environment, it should work fine.
I don't think the Outlook Plugin will work with the web-based version of Outlook.

I'm deploying my site to Umbraco Cloud and that's working fine, but I want to deploy to my own live server without Umbraco CLoud services.
I know the process of Umbraco cloud service.
If I change any content on local Umbraco that can effect on server system without Umbraco as a service, is there any alternate process to do that?
I have not used Umbraco as a Service but when hosting sites yourselves there is no standard feature to push content changes from one environment to another.
Umbraco offer A closed-source licensed package Courier that is designed to manage the deployment of content:
https://umbraco.com/products-and-support/courier/
Additionally you may wish to investigate uSync.Content. I have used uSync (for document types ect.) with great success but have not used the Content edition: https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/usynccontentedition/
The final, more hands on, approach is to do a database compare between environments to generate update scripts that can be applied but this does require a good understanding of the Umbraco schema to avoid overwriting/loosing content.
Is there any internal mailing plugin for Grails? I want the registered users on my system and send mail to each other internally - not using a third party systems such as Gmail or Hotmail .
Is there something like that? Even if it is developed by java.
I haven't tried it myself, but this might do the job (assuming you are fine with an internal messaging system instead of real emails):
https://grails.org/plugin/grails-direct-messages
https://github.com/kaleidos/grails-direct-messages
You can use the grails mail plugin but configure it to use your own mail server.
You can use the company exchange server or run your own server using the Apache James Project or a multitude of other mail server application.
I have been trying to get Umbraco working in a web role environment (web services) in Azure, but the site errors when you try and access it, saying that config/trees.config is not accessible.
These are the steps i carried out:
Create a new empty MVC4 project in Visual Studio 2013
Install Umbraco v7.1.8 from nuget
Run up and configure using a new azure SQL database.
Added in the umbraco folders to the solution.
Added an azure web services project to the solution.
Added the existing MVC umbraco project to the azure role profiles.
Published to Azure staging area.
The site starts up with the usual 'Looks like there is still work to do' screen in the full Azure emulator in visual studio with multiple role instances. However fails to run up when hosted in Azure.
I am currently assuming that the issue is that the site root does not have write access when hosted in Azure, so the IIS worker process cannot write to the trees.config file.
I found an article where you can add a 'startup.bat' file, with the following:
echo "starting startup task" >> log.txt
%windir%\system32\Icacls.exe .. \* /T /grant "Network Service":(F) > log.txt
But this stops the role instances for starting up at all in both the emulator and when hosting in azure.
Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated
I would suggest using a VM instead of a web role for hosting Umbraco in Azure, particularly since Umbraco is needing local write access to persist.
Web roles expect your application to be stateless, meaning no writing or persisting anything to the actual file system. This guarantee allows Azure to make certain assumptions so that it can load balance and scale the application correctly (it basically saves a master copy and then re-deploys it fresh as it scales up or makes updates, etc. This works great for web apps that were created with this in mind, but if not, then a VMs allows you to scale UP without worrying about your app needing to work a certain way to properly scale OUT under a load balancer (which is what web roles are made to help you do).
So, basically I would suggest installing to a Virtual Machine. It's still in the cloud, and you get all the cloud benefits of on-demand scaling of the infrastructure. In addition, I would expect Virtual Machines to be a supported install of Umbraco, where a web role install would not. Hope that helps!
I am developing a website in Mvc4 using visual studio 2012 and now I am facing a problem regarding web deployment or I can say that I'm not getting solution for this problem.
My problem is that I want to publish my website from my website view I want to give a button in home page of my website as I click on that button my database updates in IIS or azure server. How can I do this any idea about it ??
I am Currently Using Azure Storage and IIS server for local testing.
if you want to do deploy for "Azure WebSite" and not "Azure WebRole" you may use FTP transfer.
if you want to do deploy for WebRole, the first thing you have to open Remote Desktop on it and probably PowerShell will help you to deploy. You may find more details on that subject in Azure Enable Web Deploy via automated deployment and Powershell - Create Azure Deployment Package
Also please keep in mind that your infrastructure must be in separate environment. If you try to control publish/deploy from a same site (say you are on Site X and you are deploying for Site X) if anything goes wrong, you will lose all the control.
I have to create sort of a .PST file based Web Mail.
I need to read all MailItems, Folders, Contacts and everything i can from PST files given by the user.
I am currently using DCOM interop to create a Application and use Session to add my file's stores.
My problem is that i can't even instantiate the Outlook.Application, the code simply doesn't run.
If i change to Visual Studio Development Web Server everything works as perfectly as expected, but if i change to local IIS Web Server.. nothing happens =/
What i did so far:
Set username and pass to impersonate on web.config
Set username and pass to inpersonate on my WebSite from iis -> Authentication -> ASP.NET impersonation
Added permissions to Everyone, Network Service, IIS_IUSRS, my user account in temp asp files, web site file and pst files i'm trying to read
Unfortunately I've already implemented all I need using TDD, so it would not be a good idea to change the way i'm doing this, like moving to NMapi or something.
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
As i've mentioned before, i I cannot use another library (and that one seems to work, but it's pretty expensive).
I only need this to run on a local server. It is a Web application, but for localhost ONLY.
It is not a good idea to use Outlook on the server side, as is described in detail here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257757
Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support,
Automation of Microsoft Office applications from any unattended,
non-interactive client application or component (including ASP,
ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services), because Office may exhibit unstable
behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run in this environment.
