Outlook migration scheduled for February 2011

In preparation for that change, auto-archiving has been disabled. IT Services will begin transferring archived messages to the new system on Monday, December 13.
Workstation Updates
The Network Operating System migration project is proceeding on schedule.

Launch

The project plan has staff migrating from Novell’s GroupWise, as the office email tool, to Microsoft’s Outlook in early 2011. There will be training offered on Outlook before the migration and we will provide details as we [...]
