¹ÏÉñÍø

Yes. While we encourage folks to transition systems to their ¹ÏÉñÍø email addresses as their mailboxes are migrated, EVMS email addresses will continue to work.

We will work with departmental leadership to confirm scheduling before migrating any workstations. The aim is to disrupt as little as we can and operations are not adversely impacted.

The current schedule can be found here. That table is continually updated as more departments are finalized, and you will receive an email at least two weeks out from your migration date.

• Your device will have a new name.
• You will use yourÌý@odu.eduÌýemail address to log into your computer.
• Other websites and services may require your @odu.edu email address to log in OR your ¹ÏÉñÍø/EVMS username.
• Some logins will requireÌýtwo-factor authenticationÌýwith Duo Mobile.
• Your computer will go into sleep mode after 45 minutes of inactivity.
• Upon hitting CTRL+ALT+DEL you will see a Legal Notice informing you that the device is for authorized purposes only.

We recommend storing business files in OneDrive instead of your local hard drive, for several reasons:

• OneDrive filesÌýare accessible from any device with an internet connection and can be shared easily with colleagues. Additionally, when your computer is re-imaged as part of the tech integration, your filesÌýlive safely in the cloud and are in no danger of being deleted.
• When your files are stored in OneDrive, you free up space on your computer's hard drive, allowing your device to perform better.
• Files are backed up and auto-saved. The latest version is always available, even if your computer crashes or the power goes out.

These standard applications will be installed on all devices:

• Adobe Reader
• Cisco Any Connect
• Cisco Workspace
• CrowdStrike - Always on Anti-Virus Protection
• Google Chrome
• McAfee USB Encryption
• Microsoft Edge
• Mozilla Firefox
• Office 365 Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams)

Not necessarily. Here are some things you can try:

• Give it some time; the application may still be in the process of installing.
• Check theÌýCompany Portal; the application may be available for installation.
• Reach out to theÌýITS Help Desk; a technician can help install the application if it is not available in the Company Portal.

No. During the migration process, your technical support person will help you back up your data, and they will make sure you can access that data afterward.

• Check all local folders and the locations where you backed up your data in case anything was moved.
• Keep checking your OneDrive cloud folder; your files may still be syncing.
• If you still can't find your files, contact theÌýITS Help DeskÌýto see if recovery is possible.

• Make sure you are connected to the internet.
• Make sure you are connected to the VPN.
• Make sure you are using your new computer name.
• Restart your computer.
• Contact theÌýITS Help DeskÌýfor further assistance.

IP addresses and other network-based changes are not being done alongside the desktop migration.

Software installation can be done from the self-service portal or via a request to our technical support team.

The current schedule can be found here. That table is continually updated as more departments are finalized, and you will receive an email at least two weeks out from your migration date.

Personal folders in Outlook (or PST files stored on your computer) will be automatically imported into your ¹ÏÉñÍø mailbox for you. The process may take up to a week once your staff mailbox and workstation are migrated, but they will eventually show up in a newly created folder within your new mailbox.

¹ÏÉñÍø enforces retention policies on all messages in an ¹ÏÉñÍø mailbox. Emails in your inbox and other folders will be automatically deletedÌýone year from the date they were receivedÌýunlessÌýthey are tagged with an individual retention policy or moved to a folder with a different retention policy.

Yes, messages that are addressed to you @evms.edu will be forwarded to your ¹ÏÉñÍø inbox indefinitely.

All of your saved emails will be transferred to your new ¹ÏÉñÍø mailbox. However, ¹ÏÉñÍø uses retention tagsÌýto ensure that messages are kept only as long as necessary for business purposes. By default, messages in your inbox are automatically deleted after one year.

You can set retention tags on individual messages or folders if you need to keep messages longer than the default time period.

Read more about using retention tags.

There are planned improvements to the ¹ÏÉñÍø Address Book that will include department information.

When your time to migrate comes, please ensure you list any shared mailboxes you use in the survey that is done. We will try to schedule shared mailbox as close to the owners/users as possible.

Yes, all personal folders will be migrated into your new ¹ÏÉñÍø mailbox.

Some shared mailboxes will remain the same with @odu.edu instead, and some may need to be renamed if there is already an existing mailbox at ¹ÏÉñÍø or if there is a need to better align with the ¹ÏÉñÍø identity.

All EVMS addresses will be forwarded to the respective ¹ÏÉñÍø account when your mailbox is migrated.

¹ÏÉñÍø Outlook mailboxes are limited to 100 GB of storage. Additional email may be stored in the Outlook Archive.Ìý

Digital access remains separate for different badges and ID cards. More information.

Your organization can't see your personal information when you enroll a device in Microsoft Intune. Enrolling your device makes certain information, such as device model and serial number, visible to IT administrators and support people with administrator access.

The EVMS Zoom migration deadline is August 22. If you need assistance migrating recordings, please send a request to itshelp@odu.edu.Ìý

Your current EVMS VPN access will remain the same after migration. We will ultimately transition to the ¹ÏÉñÍø VPN and will communicate and work with customers at that time.

You will need to be enrolled in MDM to access your ¹ÏÉñÍø email, SharePoint and OneDrive (and other Office 365 apps including Word, Excel and PowerPoint) from a personal phone or tablet. More information.

VPN access is separate from Remote Desktop Access at ¹ÏÉñÍø. You can access most services directly. Other services might require a VPN, but you likely will not need to remote into a desktop on campus.

Yes. We ask that you bring in all your devices so we can assist with any migration tasks when your endpoint and mailbox are being migrated.

¹ÏÉñÍø transitioned from Blackboard to Canvas a couple of years ago. We will pilot Canvas with a handful of courses at EVMS in the fall, with a plan to introduce Canvas campus-wide in the near future. More information.

Yes. More information about migrating EVMS OneDrive to ¹ÏÉñÍø OneDrive will be coming soon.Ìý

¹ÏÉñÍø Teams is capable of making direct Teams calls (Audio and Video) to any other Teams account as long as the outside organization permits it.Ìý
