Teams SDS - Questions

[snagrat]

I have inherited a system that had SDS setup last year. Teams wasn’t really used so I’m not worried about the data but would be good to understand the process.

 

I have created the CSVs and am ready to import but have some questions:

 

1) Do I just upload the new CSVs into the existing profile, or should I create a new profile

 

2) What happens to the Teams in the current Profile? Will they auto Archive when the profile expires?

 

3) If I have a mistake in a CSV with a username does SDS feed this back as an error?

I’m hoping any user errors will not stop the process from starting and I can simply fix the CSV and re-upload.

 

Think that’s its for now.

1) You can use the same profile

2) You should run the cleanup once the old sync has expired, which gives you a choice of archive/removal.

3) An error will be picked up in the pre-sync check.

Can I just jump in on this - as I'm not sure whats going on with ours at the moment.

 

Our profile expired, and with all the timetable changes, groups changes, etc going on - I took the opportunity the essentially expire all the Groups/Teams that were created and start a fresh. So, we now have the tenant full of groups which start with Exp0920_* (these are showing as Active). I've since created a new profile and upload all the necessary .CSV files generated with the Salamander tool and this is showing no errors but has not created anything new ie, no new groups/teams have been created.

 

Am I missing something? Done something wrong here?

You should archive the old Teams in SDS first, so they’re not Active any more. Teachers and students can still access them as read-only if you set that.

 

Otherwise, when you next sync, you should see the new groups sync across.

Thanks for getting back to me. I'm pretty sure I checked the Archive Tick box when I did the cleanup tool. Most confused now.

Ok - I just hit the Reset Sync button on the profile, and it now appears to have created a new set of Groups with Teams - so would appear to be working again. I assume the 'Expired' teams/groups be deleted/removed after a certain period of time?
