For example, if you create a new group in Teams, that group has not created in Stream etc. immediately after it is created.
*It will take 2 to 3 hours at the earliest. Or more. - A group or site created from Stream or SharePoint can also work as a Teams group by taking the following actions.
(1)Access with https://o365tsukuba.sharepoint.com/sites/group ID/
*The group ID is the part of the group email address before @ that can be confirmed from the group edit screen.
(2)Go to the SharePoint site for that group and select Add Microsoft Teams.
(3)Then the group will be displayed on Teams as well. - It may be possible to create a group name with the same name from Teams and Steam respectively. (By changing the group email address, the part before @)
- If you delete a group from Teams, SharePoint, or Stream, the group will also be deleted from all apps on Microsoft 365.

Those who are no longer members of the University due to graduation, completion, retirement, etc. cannot use the University’s Microsoft 365 services.
The accounts are deleted after a certain period from graduation, completion, or retirement.
(The accounts of part-time employees who are rehired after their term of employment are also deleted after a certain period whenever they retire.)
When an account is deleted, it will be deleted from the teams it belonged to as well. However, what it had post to these teams remain.
Therefore, the team owner needs to take the following actions.
【Notes】
- If rehired
- The account may be available if there is a short period before rehiring. (To find out if the account is available, please contact the center by themself using the contact form.)
- Even a user who signs up for a new account with the same name and description as their previously deleted one is treated as a new user and needs to be added to the team again.
(If “問題が発生しました(something wrong…)” and it fails to add the account to the teams it used to be member, please take a break before do it again.) - Due to the caching feature, some tools may keep the deleted usernames for a while.

We request students enroll in 2017 or later to read the following website carefully:
Microsoft Office (for private use)
Apparently, you can receive some charge-free services from Microsoft by creating a Microsoft ID using your personal email address. That is not related to this service of ours. We do not recommend using your @s, @u or @un email address to create your Microsoft ID. That could cause a problem when you receive services from the University of Tsukuba.
Logging into the Office 365 Portal requires a new password, which is defined by the user upon signing up for EES advantages instead of the unified verification password.
Go to https://login.microsoftonline.com/, select “Select Account” > “Forgot Password” on the “Enter Password” screen, and follow the instructions to reset your password.
Information signed in with other previous accounts such as @s.tsukuba.ac.jp account may be saved in the browser cache and cookies. Because of this, even if you intended to be signed in at @u.tsukuba.ac.jp, you may be signed in at @s.tsukuba.ac.jp.
Please delete your browser cache and cookies, or check if you can use self-signup with other browsers such as “Microsoft Edge”, “Google Chrome”, “Firefox”, or use different devices.
EES - Microsoft 365
If you are unable to view videos on Stream, the solution depends on the cause. Please click on the link below according to your problem.
In some cases, using InPrivate (Edge) or Secret Window (Chrome) in your browser may solve the problem, or deleting cookies in your browser may work. However, this will also clear your login status to other sites.

- “Sign in to view this content.”
- “Authenticated user does not have permission to access this resource.”
- “This is not available – it seems that you are not authorized to watch this video.”
- “Video not found.”
- Not only for our university’s classes, but also videos on Stream that are not published by our university.
“Sign in to view this content.”
You may not be able to sign in to Microsoft365 with your @u.sukuba.ac.jp account.
Please check if you are able to sign in successfully with @u in your browser.
Please try other web browser applications as well, as other MS accounts may be interfering.
(For Windows users: If you are using Edge, use “Google Chrome” or “FireFox”, etc.)
(For Mac users: If you are using Safari, use “Google Chrome” or “FireFox”, etc.)
“Authenticated user does not have permission to access this resource.”
“This is not available – it seems that you are not authorized to watch this video.”
It is assumed that access is restricted on Stream and that the settings to allow access have not been properly configured.
Access to Stream is restricted in a way that allows access to group members, and registration to groups is done by the faculty member.
Immediately after course registration, there is a possibility that the group registration process is not completed in time, or even if it is completed, it may take some time for it to be reflected in the system.
If a faculty member has given you a URL to join a group, please use that URL to apply to join the group. It will take some time because you will not be registered to the group until the faculty member approves.
If there is no such indication, the faculty member will register you again based on the course roster. Therefore, please inform the faculty member that you cannot refer to the video.
“Video not found.”
It is thought that you are not able to sign in to Microsoft365 with the @u.sukuba.ac.jp account.

For example, a group created in Teams is automatically created on SharePoint and Stream. (* It takes time to create)

For example, if you create a new group in Teams, that group has not created in Stream etc. immediately after it is created.
*It will take 2 to 3 hours at the earliest. Or more. - A group or site created from Stream or SharePoint can also work as a Teams group by taking the following actions.
(1)Access with https://o365tsukuba.sharepoint.com/sites/group ID/
*The group ID is the part of the group email address before @ that can be confirmed from the group edit screen.
(2)Go to the SharePoint site for that group and select Add Microsoft Teams.
(3)Then the group will be displayed on Teams as well. - It may be possible to create a group name with the same name from Teams and Steam respectively. (By changing the group email address, the part before @)

EES - Windows OS
Yes. Please check this table.
Reference: Windows 10 upgrade paths (link to Microsoft site)
No, you cannot.
You need to separately obtain an OS to upgrade from. The upgrade version can be used if you have a package license that allows installation of a new OS.
You cannot install unless you have a license that you can upgrade from.
A “new install” installs a new Windows OS.
In contrast, an “upgrade install” inherits the settings of the original Windows OS.
This means that the OS can be upgraded (changed to a higher version) only if it is already running a Windows OS.
If your PC already has a Windows OS when you buy it, you are eligible.
In the case of a Mac, the upgrade can be applied as an OS that runs on virtual environment software or boot camp that can run on a Mac.
Downgrading the OS is also possible, but not recommended.
EES - Others
As on-line license verification is performed on a regular basis, utilization must be, in principle, on-line. (Verification is performed upon signing into your Office 365 account). However, as there is a 30-day indulgency period for the regular verification, it is possible to use it off-line during 30 days after the last license verification. After this verification period, Office function restrictions are applied.
Please contact us as we may allow changes to the MAK method, which does not require regular activation.
(For example, when a long-term off-campus business trip of 150 days or more is expected)
Please see “If authentication fails – Method 2:Verifying your license using the command line“.
If you are off-campus, please use the VPN service to create an on-campus network environment.
The VPN service provided by the Academic Computing and Communications Center allows you to connect to the license server from an off-campus (provider, etc.) network.
If you only use Office, please consider Office 365 of EES benefit. Office 365 activation can be activated by using it in an online environment both on-campus and off-campus. Please see Microsoft Office (for private use).
Our university has an RDS license.
You can set up a Windows Server on campus and take advantage of it if you need an RDS license (when you need remote desktop access).

Precautions:
This license is for the faculty and staff of this university. A separate license is required for access by students and people outside the university.
Remarks:
