CSUCI is migrating from on-premise Exchange email to Exchange Online on Microsoft Azure.
July 20, 2017: The Division of Technology & Innovation (ITS) is excited to announce that the University will migrate its employee email platform to Exchange Online, powered by the Microsoft Azure cloud.
Benefits of Exchange Online
- Anytime, anywhere access to faculty & staff email
- You can continue to use Outlook desktop client for Windows & Mac, and continues to work with iOS and Android email clients.
- Larger mailbox size (50GB)
- High reliability & availability of faculty & staff email even in the event of damage to our campus data center
- Improved security
Impact for the campus
For most users, the migration to Exchange Online will have little to no impact. Most users will be able to continue to use with current Microsoft Outlook desktop client (some users of older version of Outlook, Windows or Mac operating systems may be required to upgrade.)
Access to campus webmail via myCI will continue to function as normal, and migrated users will be directed to a familiar and updated Microsoft webmail interface. For those of you that use Microsoft Hotmail, the new Outlook Web Access user interface will look very familiar. Visit the Microsoft Outlook Web App support site for more information about the new web user interface.
Implementation Schedule
ITS has successfully piloted Exchange Online Migration with several groups of users and will now begin migrating all remaining faculty, staff and student assistant accounts beginning on Monday, August 7, 2017 at 7:00 p.m.
Batch migration of accounts
The migration and will occur in batches of ~500 mailboxes per day over the course of about 10 business days starting on August 7, 2017. Each batch will begin at 7:00 p.m. and run until 4:00 a.m.
During the migration, ITS support technicians will be available to help answer questions and resolve issues.
