This is because the service is still provisioning your account and some resources are not ready to use. When provisioning is complete, the color of these links will change to blue, and they will be able to be used. If these links are still inactive after 12 hours, contact Support.

To make sign-in successful, apply the following registry setting to the user’s computer:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Lsa] "SuppressExtendedProtection"=dword:00000001
"LmCompatibilityLevel"=dword:00000003
Microsoft Showcase provides a suite of video trainings for all of the Office 365 services.
Updates to support these DST changes will be applied to Microsoft SharePoint Online servers over the next several months. Notices of these updates will be provided in these release notes and referenced on http://www.microsoft.com/time. Any SharePoint Online tasks, timer jobs, appointments, or other data impacted by these updates will be adjusted to use the updated time zone definitions.
If administrators or technical support resources delete and recreate any Microsoft Office 365 administrator account, they should also verify the recreated account's administrator access to SharePoint Online. If there are issues accessing SharePoint Online, or performing administrative functions, please contact support for assistance.
In Office 365, to access your SharePoint Online sites from a mobile device, you must first sign in on the Microsoft Online Services sign in page using your user ID or federated corporate credentials, and your password. You will reach this page on your mobile device by browsing to the SharePoint Online website, which will redirect you to the Microsoft Online Services sign in page.
Note: This issue may not affect all users.
Scenario 1: Users who are signed in to Microsoft SharePoint Online sites using federated user IDs will experience additional credential prompts when working between a browser window and a Microsoft Office desktop application. In addition, these users will be required to authenticate after closing and reopening the browser. There is no workaround for this issue.
Scenario 2: When using Distributed Authoring and Versioning (DAV) with some client application features, such as “Open with Explorer” in a SharePoint Online document library, users may experience additional credentials prompts. To avoid this, users must select the Keep me signed in check box during sign-in.
Users who are signed in to SharePoint Online sites using federated user IDs do not have the Keep me signed in check box, so they will need to also authenticate with an Office desktop application such as Microsoft Word. Once these users have authenticated in both an Office desktop application and the browser, features and applications that use DAV to communicate with SharePoint Online will be successful.

Users can accept invitations to collaborate on a Microsoft SharePoint Online site by using either their user ID from Office 365 or a Windows Live Hotmail ID.
However, the following methods of accepting collaboration invitations are not supported:
By Design - No workaround available at this time. To use these SharePoint workflow actions, you must have Office 365 for enterprises.
The following workflow actions are not supported in Office 365 for small businesses:
To disable enhanced security:
For Windows Server 2003: In Control Panel, click Add/Remove Windows Components, and then double-click Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration. In the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration dialog box, ensure that the For administrator groups check box is cleared, and that the For all other user groups check box is selected.
For Windows Server 2008: Start Server Manager, and in the Security Information section, click Configure IE ESC. In the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration dialog box, ensure that Off is selected under Administrators and On (Recommended) is selected under Users.
There is no workaround at this time. Public IM connectivity—instant messaging (IM), audio, and video communication with contacts who use the Windows Live public IM service provider—is not currently available.
If the Lync 2010 desktop client does not automatically discover the Lync Online service based on the sign-in address the user provides, refer to the Help topics:
Email address suggestions do not appear.
This is because there is a delay between when a newly created hosted organization is created and when that organization can receive mail from the Internet. This delay may last up to an hour due to replication of DNS changes. Mail received by Office 365 during this time will be returned to the sender with a non-delivery receipt (NDR). Once DNS replication is complete mail flow will be resumed automatically and no administrative actions are necessary. Users created after this first hour will not experience this delay.
In this scenario, the user profile will have to be removed and recreated in Windows through the Control Panel and Mail options.
Because your first connection to Office 365 must be done with your temporary password, which you are required to change, you will need to first sign in to either the Office 365 Portal or to Microsoft Outlook Web App before connecting with the desktop version of Outlook. Once you change your password, you can then connect using the desktop version of Outlook. Likewise, if your password is reset by your administrator to a new temporary password, you must also sign in to the portal or to Outlook Web App before connecting to Office 365 using your desktop version of Outlook.
