  1. Make sure you have working MIT CERTIFICATES. Certificates are used as part of the authentication for O365.

    1. Test certificates here to make sure they are installed and working in your browser of choice.
      https://web-cert.mit.edu/certificates/test/index.html

    2. Install MIT Certificates if you don't have them on the chosen browser.
      1. For Safari, Chrome, and Internet Explorer:

      2. For Firefox:

    3. For users who prefer not to use Certificates, kerberos usernames and passwords in Touchstone will indeed still work.

  2. Read/skim the IS&T O365 Pre-transition information: https://kb.mit.edu/confluence/display/istcontrib/Office+365+Pre-Migration+Information 
    AND the IS&T Migration Checklist: https://kb.mit.edu/confluence/display/istcontrib/Office+365+-+Email+and+Calendaring+-+Migration+Checklist

    1. Make a note if any of the listed conditions apply to you.
    2. Plan contingencies if a specific condition applies to you.
    3. If you are not sure what needs to be done for any condition affecting you, contact the IS&T O365 representative who is helping your DLC transition to O365.
    4. If none of the listed conditions apply to you, you're all set. Proceed to 3.

  3. Clean up your emails including deleting and purging deleted emails and junk emails.

  4. Notify IS&T of ANY AND ALL shared MIT Exchange calendar resources you use as they will need to be migrated to O365 as well.

  5. Anyone who is a user sharing a calendar or has Delegate permissions to see a user's Calendar must all be transitioned at the same time.

  6. If you have any unusual conditions affecting your current MIT Exchange account it is important that you let the IS&T O365 representative know.
    For example:

    1. Multiple folders embedded within folders that you can't get rid of.
    2. Any emails you can't delete in either Apple Mail or OWA.
    3. Any emails you can see listed but you are unable to view in either Apple Mail or OWA.
