ITS is working closely with the School of Leadership and Education Sciences to make the migration process as seamless as possible.
The ITS team consists of Mike Somerville (Project Manager); Zack Thawley and Rik Knuff (e-mail administrators); Jonathan Cortez, Dan Pham, and lead technician Matt Mueller (Help Desk Support team); plus several other ITS staff working behind the scenes. Working closly with Assistant Dean Linda Dews, we intend to properly communicate and synchronize efforts in order to complete the migration in a timely manner.
We need your cooperation in order for the project to be completed on time. The success of the migration requires a) the proper forms to be signed and returned; and b) scheduling a time for technician(s) to migrate and transfer your e-mail.
The migration process for new hires varies somewhat. Please refer to the New Hire Migration Process documentation for additional information and instructions.
Please follow these steps in order to get your e-mail migrated to Exchange 2007:
- Make sure that you have an AD (Active Directory - what is this?) account. In order for an AD account to be created,
an AD Account Request Form (download here – PDF)
must be submitted to Amanda Goodrich in ITS. Only
the following sections of the form need to be completed:
- Page 1, Section One. Be sure to have the supervisor sign the form.
- Page 4. Read and then acknowledge the ITS Guidelines and Policies.
- Schedule a time through Linda Dews with the technician assigned to your area to migrate your e-mail.
- Contact your departmental contact, Assistant Dean Linda Dews, with any questions about the migration process.
- Once the migration is complete, on-site training may be offered, depending upon the size of your area, to answer any remaining questions you may have about using Exchange 2007. Please see the Training Schedule for times and locations.
To reduce the amount of time that your migration will take, we recommend that:
- E-mails prior to January 1, 2009 remain in your current e-mail client, stored on your computer as an archive.
- The migration time may vary, depending upon how many e-mails need to be migrated.
