We did the move all in one go over 2 days.
We migrated the staff mailboxes manually (drag and drop from old to new account in outlook)
We didn't migrate students as it seemed pointless at the end of the year.
We also setup "out of office" replies on the old address to inform people of the change and left exchange running for 6 months with webmail accessible but no shortcut on peoples desktop.
just out of interest @zag, why didnt you just keep the same email addresses?
We are now an acadamy so had the chance to move away from the LEA's web domain to a shorter one.Originally Posted by RabbieBurns

makes a lot of sense. Cheers.
On a side note, and unrelated to this thread completely, but what is all this 'academy' speak i hear of. Where I grew up in scotland, most of our state schools for seniors were called 'blah blah academy'
Money from central government used to be sent to the LEA who distributed it to all the schools in the area.
Being an academy now we get the money directly from government. It also gives us much more choice in how to run the school outside of the authority.
This means we basically get a lot of extra funding.

We have finally completed our migration to Live@edu over this week. Are there any other large secondarys who've made the move?
All teachers, staff and students are now using exchange online from Outlook 2010 client or webmail.
Its been a great success so far, very happy with the upgrade.

basically there are three types of state schools:
1) Academies
2) Schools converting to academies
3) Schools not yet converted to academies
Anyone got any tips on Shared Address Space ?
Want to move students over and leave staff on site but having no luck! Here what I've tried!
Shared Address Space with On-Premises Relay
Created Accepted Domain on Exchange 2007 (on site)
Created Send Connector
Added servers external IP to FOPE
Added shared address space to cloud accepted domains
Create test user in cloud (it can send fine)
configured the test user to accept from both domain test@live.domain.com & test@domain.com
Any other pointers?
I must be doing something wrong!

Is there an easy way to delete a specific email over multiple mail boxes?

@MattGibson
The way I have done it is I have staff on our on-premise exchange with user@maindomain.edu and a local exchange account
I have students on Live@edu with user@students.maindomain.edu . This students.maindomain.edu is the one registered for live@edu
What I did was add maindomain.edu as an accepted domain within live@edu, and even with closed campus enabled the two domains can email each other. I didnt have to add the students.maindomain.edu as an accepted domain within Exchange locally
I also modified a poweshell script which would parse a CSV file which would create a live@edu account for the staff, but a liveID only, so they can login to skydrive etc using their normal on premis email addresses, but keep their existing mailbox on premis. I use ILM so passwords are synced for both students and teachers (and I since figured out how to get ILM to do the teacher liveIDs too)
Let me know if you want me to share the script + a sample csv, also have a look at my how-to guide i posted somewhere in this thread when I set it up
Yes if you're happy in powershell-land then the cmdlet is search-mailbox and there's a page with detail on technet:Search For and Delete Messages from Users' Mailboxes
Afternoon people,
A bit late to the party here but what is the current opinion on live@edu? I'm coming to the conclusion that due to issues we have seen in the LEA over the past three weeks that moving certain services to the cloud is a good option.
We currently have a centrally hosted Exchange 2007 service from the LEA. Staff and pupils have mailboxes which are set at 2Gb. When new people enter the school they are provisioned using AD Provisioning in SIMS - this sets up their AD account, their mailbox and their Moodle account. Some staff have large mailboxes. When we log into the centrally hosted Sharepoint Portal we are SSO'ed into the mail and Moodle.
So the idea of moving email over to the cloud has reared it's head. live@edu seems like a good idea - but so does Google Mail (for Education?) - based on the current service which I have outlined above will live@edu do this for us? How integrated could I make it and how much would I have to ask the LEA to do? I'm not sure they will be happy or will help at this moment in time.
From reading Edugeek today it all sounds great - but in theory what are the logistics like? Can I migrate current Exchange mailboxes? Can passwords be migrated? Does SSO work? Argh - so many questions.
Look forward to reading the documents I've found so far and any replies on here,
Gareth
Yes you can migrate from from on premises exchange to live@edu you can also split it and have some onesite and some in the cloud.
Automatic provisioning and integrated password change can be done but looks to be a complete pain to do and SSO can be setup as well.
@ICTNUT has done a fair bit on this lately
