Migration Plan
University Information Technology Services
• Why this date?
• Large item pre-check
– Items moved into folder 365LargeItems
• All accounts will be pre-migrated
• Now until April 10th - early migration batches
• April 10th: 5 PM set all migration jobs to complete
– Mailboxes do a final sync.
– Active Directory modified to point mailbox to 365.
– Migration complete for user.
• Point DNS entries to Office 365
• Point exchange.uconn.edu to Office 365 Portal

Process Updates
University Information Technology Services
Managing Distribution groups from Outlook and OWA
– End users can no longer add/remove members from
distribution groups via Outlook or OWA
– Help Center or OU admins can perform this from ADUC
• Cause:
– Can only sync changes from AD to Office 365
• Solution:
– OU Admin can add/remove users from ADUC
– Upon request, we will copy the group as an Office 365
group so that changes need not be synced to on prem AD.

Non-mail enabled group issue
University Information Technology Services
Shared mailbox
Add
members
directly
Full access group
(Mail enabled)
Non-mail
enabled
groups
Add NetID
(Permissions are not
replicated)
6
Process Updates (cont'd)
University Information Technology Services
Members of non-mail enabled groups cannot replicate
permissions to shared mailboxes or conference rooms
• Cause:
– By design, we can only synchronize permissions for mail
enabled objects
• Solution:
– Add NetID directly to the mail enabled full access group
– A common group (365 - Mail enable group) is created
• Add the non-mail enabled group as a subgroup
• Script runs to mail enable the members of 365 - Mail enable group

Technical Overview

Migration Day Troubleshooting Expectations
If a customer is experiencing an issue connecting to their mail on Office 365, the first step in
troubleshooting should be to access Outlook Web Access (OWA) via http://office365.uconn.edu
If a customer is unable to access mail in OWA, then the next steps should be to:
 Clear DNS / Flush DNS
 Perform a soft reset of mobile device
 Reconfigure network settings
If a customer continues to have problems accessing mail in OWA, the issue
should be escalated to UITS; otherwise it should be troubleshot and resolved as
a device-related issue

Early migration
University Information Technology Services
Users can migrate before April 10th, if they would like to:
– Users who have not migrated only see your availability as free/busy.
Outside systems (e.g., Engineering, Business, etc.) can no longer view
your availability.
– Permissions are broken if shared mailboxes or conference rooms and
user mailboxes are on different sides. Hence, we can migrate the
resource along with the user account.
– Lync requires mailbox credentials every day to access the mailbox
– Authentication prompts for Outlook may occur multiple times a day;
switch between email address and password and NetID and password
– Mac client issues with shared mailboxes
Early migration requests accepted with at least a week's
notice
• Send an email to [email protected] for early migration
