I forgot my Outlook ID used in BizSpark - outlook

My company uses BizSpark and i had created an outlook mail to register there. But i can not remember that email address, our admin can see registered mails but we can only see my contact mail in there, not the microsoft account.
Is there a way to find the email name that I created for the bizspark account? I know its password but not the name.
Thanks.

Grab all possible information you may have about your account: old passwords, details registered like credit cards, basically everything possible linked to the account and contact Microsoft Support on the phone, explain your issue and provide all possible details to the agent, for sure they have a way to help you.

How to verify identity for google play console as individual?

Google play console is requesting to verify my identity.
The problem is that the verification form is asking for an organization info and docs while the account is for individual and that is provided in the account details screen.
So what am I missing? Where to go? Or how to contact google support?
I had this after emailing googleplay-developer-support#google.com. Solution: Your payment profile shouldn't be set as organization if your developer profile is set to individual and vice-versa.
Per checking, the payments profile associated with your account is set as an organization. You may choose to verify your account as an organization with the following documents that our system accepts: Certificate of Organization, and a valid ID of the organization's Official Representative.
If you would like to verify as an individual and change the entity type on your payments profile, you would have to create a new account in order to change from organization to individual. You may view your payments profile via pay.google.com
To change the entity type on your Payment Profile, it would need to be deleted and created again. Since a Play Console account can only be associated with one Payment Profile, it will need to be deleted and recreated as well.
To resolve the issue, we can close your Play Console account and refund the registration fee. Then, you can delete your payment profile at pay.google.com before you sign-up for a new Play Developer account. To proceed, please provide confirmation by responding with “I confirm to have my Play Console Developer account closed and have its registration fee refunded.” Also, please remove the existing draft app from the Developer account
I had this issue recently and it turned out it was because I had an old Payment Profile with Account Type of 'Organisation'.
You need to go here: https://pay.google.com/gp/w/u/0/home/settings
Personally, I had two payment profiles; one was for an Individual and one was for an Organisation. Maybe the Organisation one was the default or whatever.
In the end I managed to close that payment profile and create a new developer account after having the first one refunded.
There were a few emails to Google Support going back and forth but that solved it in the end and now I have an app on the Play Store.

VS Marketplace Add Member displayes Invalid Domain error

I am trying to add a member to Visual Studio Marketplace. In my account I go to Manage Publishers & Extensions -> Members and click om '+ Add'. Whatever e-mail I provide shows "Invalid Domain" error:
Is it a VS Marketplace bug or do I need to somehow link Azure directory (or any other users directory) first?
I'm having the same issue with a newly registered Publisher and have contacted Microsoft. Here's what I was told:
Apologies for the inconvenience you are facing. This is currently due to an issue at our end.
To unblock you, we can add the users manually to the publisher. Could you please provide us the VSIDs of the users that you are trying to add to the publisher?
To provide the VSID, do the following:
Login to the Marketplace (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com) with the email address that has to be added to the publisher.
After getting logged in, from the same browser window, open https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/connectiondata
You should see some JSON data in the window.
Copy paste the output of the page that you see. We are interested in the "id" field of the "authenticated" user.
We will manually add the users to your publisher, once we have the VSIDs details.
You'll want to contact Microsoft using the "Need help? Contact Microsoft" link that Grzegorz Smulko also mentioned, but you might as well collect the relevant IDs to include when you reach out to expedite the process.
Microsoft may be requiring Microsoft federated(Hotmail, Live..., or AD integrated) IDs.
Due to the complete lack of documentation, I have been unable to verify this claim.
This could also be attributed to Microsoft banning gmail.com as a valid source e-mail domain.
It looks like a bug to me.
I've tried to add a new member from the same domain as all the other existing members and I'm getting the very same error.
I'd suggest contacting MS using the "Need help? Contact Microsoft" link from the top-right corner.
There is an alternate way to add members via User Id. Please follow the steps mentioned here:
Ask member (that you want to add) to login their account on Marketplace
User Id will be visible by hovering over email as shown in image.
Member can copy the User Id by clicking copy-to-clipboard button and share with the current owner of the publisher(you).
Now the current owner of the publisher(you) can add member using User Id from members tab. Click on + Add -> Now enter the User Id-> Select a role you want to assign to the new member.
As shown in the below screenshot.

Is there a way to change a Google Account name/email?

I have ran into a problematic situation, which I really hope I can get help with.
I'm working on Jive Software solutions and we have a product that integrates Google Drive and Gmail.
This integration product was once part of a startup that was acquired by Jive and as such, the Google api project we are using for the integration belongs to a Google Account of a specific person which no longer works in Jive (we do have the credentials for the account though).
The problem is, that we want this account to be ours, i.e, a Jive software one.
So, one option I have, is to create a new account and replace the api account I'm using in the code to use the new one. This is bad, as it will break all the current authenticated clients, and will force them to take the oauth process all over again.
The other option I see, is to convert the existing Google account we are using to a jivesoftware one, so it will not be associated to any specific person but it will still be the same account.
Specifically I'm interesting in changing the Name and Email of this account.
Any suggestions of how we can achieve that?
A third option could be moving the api project to owned by another google account, but I couldn't find such an option in the UI, any clue?
There is no way to change a gmail address. You can forward all email to a new address with the name and email address you would like though.
This way you access all the email from an account that is a Jive software one but it is being forwarded from the old one still. However no one directly accesses the old one.
Check out https://support.google.com/mail/answer/10957?hl=en for more info.
According to the documentation, if you use Gmail with your Google Account, it's not currently possible to change your Gmail username after you've registered. with your username being the full email address you used to create your account. You can, however, change your nick name by going to https://myaccount.google.com and clicking Personal Info.

How to improve email verification

I have a question about email verification and user registration. The other day I created accounts for both Twitter and Facebook and I realized in either of them I was asked to fill a CAPTCHA. And even before validating my email account I could already use my account and add friends and all that. Supposedly I had limited options, but didn't even realized it.
My question is, as I'm building a website with user registration myself and I'm planning on use this method, how to deal with spam, "junk accounts" and people that don't validate their email accounts?
And more realistically, I was thinking either asking for a CAPTCHA and an email (and let users verify their accounts later on) or asking for an email and waiting for it to be verified (with a link or a temporal password) right away. In this case, which is the best option?
Thanks!!
It's debate question which is good or bad.
I personally feel Use email verification by sending link on email account and verify that link on click. This will let you trusted user.
By the way captcha isn't bad. It will prevent automated account creation strongly.

access exchange 2003 calendars with vs2005+

I'm looking for a way to access Exchange 2003 calendars to add appointments. I'm hoping to use an admin account and impersonate each user to add appointments which i'm pulling from an oracle database. I've seen lots of examples for Exchange 2000 using cdox.dll which are exactly what I'm looking for but not an equivalent for 2003. I have Exchange management tools installed on the development workstation. Would I be able to download cdox.dll and use that?
Examples/links are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
This is the same problem I'm banging my head against....
You can work with calendars using webdav:
http://golemlab.wordpress.com/2009/09/13/php-owa-2003-calendar-fun/
But to impersonate a user you need an admin account with access to his calendar folder.
From what I understand there is no way to set defaults permissions just for calendars that are not created yet.
Also please note that the Calendar folder name is dependant on the user client language (ex: "Calendar" for a user with an english outlook, "Calendario" for italians).
You can set permissions on existing calendars using a lot of different tools:
pfdavadmin is a microsoft endorsed one:
http://www.itexperience.net/2008/10/22/set-calendar-permissions-with-pfdavadmin/
or you can try setperm:
http://www.amset.info/exchange/folderpermissions.asp
there are also some commercial products like folder permission manager:
http://www.symprex.com/products/folder-permissions-manager/
What I'd really wished was the possibility to set defaults calendar permissions on a server level , but this looks really not possible.
