Android 6 on Nexus 5X does not sync, or update, calendar entries and e-mails

I was really disappointed when my new Nexus 5X did not sync new e-mails and calendar entries from the web. I use these functions all day long and the device is useless if it does not update new items.

I already began to install 3rd party apps, but then decided to look into the matter again:

It seems to be a known bug that Google is investigating, but I couldn't wait for them to come up with a fix.

I suspected the cause to be the Android 6 doze function (a battery saving function in Android 6) since my device hadn't updated the calendar for several hours (I could see that my account/calendar was last updated the night before at around 9 p.m.).

To disable the calendar's (and a few other apps, but I suspect that the settings for the calendar is enough) battery save function use the settings:

Microsoft Office 2016 and the AUTO_ACTIVATE property

Billede
In Office 2013 is was possible to automatically activate it after install by using a property called AUTO_ACTIVATE in the Office Customization Tool (OCT) (to start the OCT, you just need to run the setup for the Office installation like this: 'setup.exe /admin' - you don't need to download the OCT). It doesn't work in Office 2016. I solved it by running the OCT and doing this instead: If you want to know how the make the install completely automated, read on: I modified these settings: Save the .MSP file in the Office installation folder under \updates\. All .MSP files in this folder, is used during installation. If files exist in this folder, and you run setup.exe, the 'normal' Office installation will use the settings under \updates\ (the settings modified in the .MSP file created in OCT).

Disable logon and logoff events (event id 4624, 4625, 4634 (and all the other ones...))

I have tried several times to make my domain controller not log logon and logoff events in the security log. But it seems to ignore the settings in the domain controller group policy. I now use Auditpol in stead - that works (thanks Morgan J ): To disable all logon and logoff messages in the security log use (in an elevated command prompt): auditpol /set /category:"Logon/Logoff" /success:disable & auditpol /set /category:"Logon/Logoff" /failure:disable It is also possible to just disable the logon messages by using the subcategory switch: auditpol /set /subcategory:"Logon" /success:disable & auditpol /set /subcategory:"Logon" /failure:disable To view the current settings, run: auditpol /get /category:*

I've been having some trouble doing Exchange PowerShell after enabling Office 365 MFA on my account. I did this to gain access from my computer. 1) First save this to a .reg file (e.g. fix.reg ) and run it to allow installing the Exchange Online Remote PowerShell Module on your computer from Internet Explorer: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\Security\TrustManager\PromptingLevel] "MyComputer"="Enabled" "LocalIntranet"="Disabled" "Internet"="Enabled" "TrustedSites"="Enabled" "UntrustedSites"="Enabled" 2) Then paste this URL in Internet Explorer to install the module: https://cmdletpswmodule.blob.core.windows.net/exopsmodule/Microsoft.Online.CSE.PSModule.Client.application 3) Now run this command to connect (remember to modify the  UserPrincipalName to match your own username): Connect-EXOP...
