Email and Network File Conversion |
| |
|
Overview
|
| |
|
Information Technology is streamlining the OSU system's central email, network file/print, and directory services to a single, integrated solution - Microsoft Exchange, Windows File and Print Services, and Active Directory. Benefits to the OSU community include:
|
| |
- An integrated email and directory solution moving the OSU system closer to using a single login for all services
- Consolidation of email services to provide the same environment for students, faculty and staff
- Improved user account provisioning through a single authoritative source to generate consistent IDs and passwords across systems
- The ability to provide user self-service for identity management
- A reduction in OSU's costs since annual maintenance costs for the Microsoft solution are less than half of the comparable costs for Lotus Notes and Novell
- A messaging solution which integrates well with other desktop and internet applications
- The technical resources and support of Microsoft, the vendor commanding the highest market share in the messaging solutions landscape

End of Life for Lotus Notes Email and Novell
|

As we move toward the completion of the conversion to Exchange and Active Directory, IT has outlined plans to decommission the old Lotus Notes Email and Novell file/print environments. Lotus Notes Email was withdrawn from active service on the Stillwater campus as of June 30, 2006, and Novell services will be decommissioned by June 30, 2007.
