Prepare for your Exchange Online Migration

Exchange Migrations

OMC is beginning to facilitate the migration of users to Exchange Online email.  Your department will be notified of your migration date via email.  

UB-Owned Windows PCs

  • If your device connects to a UB network at a UBMD or UB site, you will NOT need to make any changes to your device prior to the migration.
  • If you are working from home on a UB-owned device, please make sure that you are connecting to the pre-login VPN and then logging into your device with SMBS credentials.

Personally-Owned Windows PCs

  • If you are using a personally-owned device and you are checking UB email via Outlook, you will need to make a change to the registry PRIOR to your migration date.

UB-Owned and Personally-Owned Macs

  • You will not need to make any changes to your Mac prior to migration.

Morning after your Exchange migration
