RabbieBurns Posted March 11, 2010 Author Posted March 11, 2010 Figured out what the problem was. Our local dns server is authoritative for our external domain so it will just resolve wan addresses to their local IPs. Had to add in the MX records etc on the local DNS and its all working great now! Just to get ILM Sorted now
RabbieBurns Posted March 23, 2010 Author Posted March 23, 2010 How is everyone controlling groups and mailling lists etc in live@edu. Is there a way to maintain OU / group structure when provisioning accounts? Or is it all done manually ? We are getting close to provisioning more than just our test OU, but it would be good if we could maintain some sort of group memberships, so that we can, for example, email only all year 11s kinda thing.
ronanian Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Bump for RabbieBurns question...I'd like to know too.
RabbieBurns Posted June 23, 2010 Author Posted June 23, 2010 I was pointed to this document: Dynamic Distribution Groups But Ive not had a chance to work through it yet.
Jake Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Posted this elsewhere too, but this might be the best place for it.. The microsoft pages are seriously doing my head in at the moment, we're getting live@edu all setup and ready for the coming year but we want to use this olsync (or galsync or olma or whatever they are calling it these days) for AD syncing. Issue that I am having is that I cannot seem to get the download for it from anywhere on the microsoft connect site.. I keep just getting sent round and round in circles saying that I dont have permissions etc (am logged in with our live@edu admin account), or ending up with just a txt file. Anyone got any ides where/how I can get this ?? Jake
RabbieBurns Posted June 27, 2010 Author Posted June 27, 2010 did you register your account with connect? https://connect.microsoft.com/profile.aspx
Jake Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 did you register your account with connect? https://connect.microsoft.com/profile.aspx Yeah I did, no problem though, Ben replied in the other thread explaining that sometimes it doesn't register properly and emailed me the files
RabbieBurns Posted June 28, 2010 Author Posted June 28, 2010 Whats the other thread, out of interest.
SYNACK Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Whats the other thread, out of interest. This one I think http://www.edugeek.net/forums/office-software/58711-live-edu-olsync-files.html 1
RabbieBurns Posted June 29, 2010 Author Posted June 29, 2010 Thanks.. missed that thread. Good to see the UK live@edu guys are on here.. Their .au collegues have been invaluable with helping me.
vikpaw Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Just thought i'd say, hi, i'm testing it too. luckily we have another school domain to use, so we're effectively LIve (no pun - honest!) with it now. Just set up the Head of IB with it, and management will get one next week, so they can have comms while exchange is down in the summer to be upgraded. we're looking at a real slow migration to the other system, possibly with a dual host situation where it hits our servers internally first and then bounces to the live one. Not had many problems yet. bulk uploaded some accounts via csv. managed to connect to exchange using outlook, and added a pst with my current email groups, then transferred up to exchange. it's a bit slow due to our connection, but seems to work okay. I tried to get the account synching via imap to our own exchange, but it keeps erroring and i think it's our firewall blocking it. my only worry is that our connection will never be good enough to have it completely hosted, as outlook keeps disconnecting and reconnecting.
rayfleming Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Ben Nunney (the Live@edu deployment specialist who helped @Jake above) has written an extensive and comprehensive "Live@edu Implementation Guide". Live@edu Implementation Guide - Microsoft UK Schools blog - Site Home - MSDN Blogs It includes: •How to structure your email domains •Options for configuring your student IDs •Switching your domains from your in-house servers to ours •Managing domains where staff are on an in-house mail service whilst students are in the cloud •Configuring Single Sign On •Automating the synchronisation of your user accounts •Setting up mail transport rules eg for banned words, mail filtering, domain restrictions etc •Branding your mail service 4
Jake Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 Yup its a very useful guide, we will soon be getting our 3000 student accounts set up and ready to roll. Thanks again to Ben, been a great help indeed.
RabbieBurns Posted June 30, 2010 Author Posted June 30, 2010 I coulda done with that a few months ago when I was doing mine! @Jake; - Ive made some documentation thats got a load of screenshots, gotchas, etc etc as well if you might want to take a look if you get into any bother
Jake Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 That'd be great, can never have too much documentation
nadeem Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 I really must read the guide - Ben helped me with our implementation too!!!
RabbieBurns Posted July 1, 2010 Author Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) Got the goahead to post my documentation so hope it might be of some use to someone.. /REMOVED AS UPDATED VERSION COMING SOON - ZH Edited August 5, 2010 by ZeroHour 4
RabbieBurns Posted August 17, 2010 Author Posted August 17, 2010 Got the goahead to post my documentation so hope it might be of some use to someone.. /REMOVED AS UPDATED VERSION COMING SOON - ZH Not sure if anyone had a look at the docs I attached. But Ive been working on them some more and have a whole lot of new insight to share.
clarky2k3 Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) Looking forward to them! We have problems installing ILM 2007 here. When installing ILM you put the service username and password you create for ILM in AD but it says that the current configuriation is not secure. It lets me click Ok and it installs ILM but it doesnt create the MIIS Groups in AD. Any ideas? Edited August 17, 2010 by clarky2k3

Ill fire up the VPN when i get back in from football and have a look at my setup 1

clarky2k3 Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Just noticed that the Ramesys disk we have says Identity Lifecycle Manager 2007 but installs MIIS 2003? Is there a way to upgrade to ILM2007?
RabbieBurns Posted August 17, 2010 Author Posted August 17, 2010 Ive checked my screenshots, it should just be Ours is ILM 2007 FP1. If you contact your MS supplier they do special live@edu prices for ILM2007FP1. ($200AU ours was) I wouldnt bother upgrading an existing installation... just uninstall it and reinstall it (ive done so many reinstalls i pretty much have learnt the product key by heart) ... Ill spend some time tomorrow updating my docs and post them on here when im done..
