ISDA Exchange Migration Information

What can IS&T do in advance to prepare for the migration?

The Exchange transition checklist is a compilation of what to expect out of the migration. IS&T recommends reviewing this checklist to set expectations on what is and not migrated during the process, and what will need to be recreated and/or manually re-configured: http://web.mit.edu/ist/topics/email/exchange/checklist.html

The Email and Calendaring page, lists available services, support resources and supported email programs within the Exchange infrastructure:

What can IS&T expect to happen after the migration has been scheduled?

One week before the scheduled migration a confirming email will be sent to you or your designated representative to confirm the email and/or calendar migration date to include preparation information.

The Day of migration:
* The project manager will coordinate with team to schedule migration, provide kerberos principles (usernames) for the DLC.
* a confirmation email including date and time to be sent to you and team

During the migration
    * user account(s) will be split for five business days (this is only a precautionary measure to ensure data migration success)
    * users are able to check email using the current email service (IMAP)
    * email (IMAP) data will be migrated first, followed by techtime data (if applicable)

After the migration
    * logon to the Webclient, Outlook Web Access (OWA) <http://owa.mit.edu/> and confirm success of email and calendar data migration
    * an email will be sent to the departmental contact or designate representative confirming the migration was completed
    * if arrangements have been made in advance, the transition team will be on-site to assist the day after migration
    * after five business days and upon departmental confirmation that all users data was migrated and customer satisfied, the accounts will be unsplit
    * continue to use Tech Time until all of IS&T migrations have been complete (July 31st)
    * at that point all IS&T business will be scheduled on Exchange calendar and staff who wish to continue utilizing Tech Time will need to maintain both calendars
