This is a copy of an ICTS email – just for your information, but note that if students have problems ICTS staff in the loft can help – Peter

ICTS is all set to create new Exchange accounts for about 1100 PhD and Master Thesis students. Paul Arnold will be running this in batches of about 300 so that you are not bombarded with questions all at once, and we hope to kick this off tomorrow morning.

Please let me know today if you have any issues with us initiating this work.

Summary
• These are people that have never had an @pg address before so there will not be the same confusion or technical issues that were caused with the initial 250.
• This group of people will be sent an email from me tomorrow morning to inform them that we are beginning the process.
• These students will have an Exchange account associated to a new @pg address AND their existing Outlook Live account associated with their @uclive & @student addresses.
• We will not be migrating mail over from Outlook Live to Exchange but they can do this using the Outlook Client (the ICT Workrooms staff in the Loft can assist with this).
• Once their account is set up the student will receive an email in their Outlook Live mailbox notifying them of how to access their exchange account using the web interface.
