Tonight, the Division of Technology & Innovation begins moving of our campus-based Exchange email infrastructure to Exchange Online, in Microsoft's Azure cloud.
As a reminder, the first group of faculty, staff and student assistant email accounts is scheduled to begin tonight, Monday, August 7, 2017 at 7 p.m., and will occur in batches over the course of eight business days. The group migration schedule has been posted on the Migration to Exchange Online and Microsoft Azure web page (myCI login is required to view the schedule).
Please review the Exchange Online Migration Schedule (myCI login is required to view) to find when your email account is being migrated. If you experience any issues with email after your account has been migrated, please contact the T&I Help Desk at helpdesk@csuci.edu or call 805-437-8552. During the migration, T&I support technicians will be available to help answer questions and resolve issues.
On a related note: on the evening of Friday, August 4th, T&I successfully completed an important pre-requisite migration of all CSUCI Skype for Business (formerly known as Lync) accounts to the new Microsoft Azure infrastructure, in preparation for the Exchange Online migration. If you experience any issues using Skype for Business, please contact the T&I Help Desk at helpdesk@csuci.edu or call 805-437-8552.
We appreciate your patience and support as we complete this important migration. Please direct and project-related questions to project manager Asha Ramachandra at asha.ramachandra@csuci.edu.
