FAQ’s • Can my faculty and staff use Live@Edu? Your faculty and staff can use it in two ways: • Faculty and Staff can use all of the collaboration portions of Live@Edu but stay with on-premise email • Faculty/Staff can use ExchangeLabs, but there are additional conversations that we need to have regarding price • Who handles helpdesk calls? School support issue: Microsoft provides full Live@edu support to the school, with 24/5 access. We also have rich support SLA’s Student support issue: We provide 24/7 web-based support for email and services, but the school provides phone based support
Are there any ads in the environment? There are no ads in the web environment for students and faculty and staff. Non-students (parents, alumni, etc) will eventually have ads in the environment (sometime in 2009) (if you use MSN messenger there are ads for anyone) • Do I have full administration capability? Email: You have high administrative capabilities in email. You can access student mailboxes via impersonation, turn on transport journaling, delete an account, etc (* Jan 2009) Other Services: You do not have administrative capabilities in these services. You can delete a student account for inappropriate conduct, or have Microsoft remove content.
What about back up and storage, and accidental deletions? Back-up and Storage: We store our content on three redundant servers. We have HVAC systems, rich security, etc. Deletions: Content is stored in the deleted items folder for 15 days. It will then be available in the recovery items folder for an additional 15 days. • Is there a way that I can restrict the non-email services for Live@edu? While you can restrict access to the services via your firewall, and choose not to promote them, students can still access them when not at school
How long does it take to deploy? Deploying the technology is the easy part! What usually takes some time is: • Testing the service: It is extremely important to test the service! Please pilot large groups, and make sure this service meets your requirements. • There are a lot of internal upfront decisions you’ll need to make, such as: • Are we going to restrict domains? • Do we have an acceptable use policy (AUP) in place? • How are we going to handle students who violate the policy? • Will each department use their own domain? Each Major? • Do we want to have a global address book? If so, are we going to restrict it?
