Email Overview

• Microsoft Exchange/Outlook

• Migration not under consideration – GW doesn’t play nice with others

• Groupwise – leave server up for period of time/read only – no send/receive

• Email addresses – will be changed to @sd74.bc.ca; a ‘mail forwarding’ script will be setup to forward @gw.sd74.bc.ca email.

• Address Books – personal address books will need to be saved by users (instructions will be sent out); general district address book will come from Active Directory accounts

Active Directory is:

•a database that contains configuration information,

authentication requests, and information about all of the

objects on the network.

•allows you to efficiently manage users, computers,

groups, printers, applications, and other directory-enabled

objects from one secure, centralized location

•everything will be connected to Active Directory –

“single sign-on”
