I am looking into moving my school to live@edu, but before I do I would like some feedback from other school who are using it and what they think? Specifically if needed can they view a students emails and skydrive to check for bullying, offensive material? And how easy is this to do? Also is the filters (bad language etc) any good? Cheers

Hi all, I am looking for some software that will monitor our PC's energy usage. I want to be able to see what sort of energy consumption our PC's are having. Free would be preferable. I know i am not asking much. Also we am currently using RM CC3 included power management software can anyone recommend any other software that I could use with CC3? Again free would be preferable. Many thanks Great community Sean

Hello, I am looking at moving to live@edu and on the FAQ it says roll-out can take a few weeks maybe a few months. I understand that during the roll-out process I should be able to use my existing Easymail accounts until the MX record is changed. Is this correct? Thanks Sean

Oh right. Ah well if we decide to go with it, it will have to be done over a holiday or weekend or something. Im trying to do as much research as possible then I will put this forward to SLT. But as its a free service compared to paying for RM Easymail plus loads of other benefits. A no brainer really!! Thanks for all your help, much appreciated. Sean

We do want to keep the same email address? If at all possible.

Thanks for the reply's. If i start the ball rolling and enrol with live@edu I will still be able to use RM Easymail won't I? I want to be able to migrate a couple of staff and some students to see how it goes before I do a mass migration. I still want the rest of the staff to use Easymail until I am ready. Thanks again Sean

Hello all, I am interested in my school going on to Microsoft's free email service. We are a RM CC3 school and we use RM Easymail. I contacted RM to find out if the school owns the email address. This is what I sent - "Hello, We use RM Easymail and I was wondering if you could tell me whether the domain @mail.heywood.gloucs.sch.uk was brought and is now owned by Heywood Community School or if this is still owned by RM/SWGFL?" This was RM's reply - "Hi Sean, I can confirm that RM own the DNS and Heywood own the domain. Regards" I am a bit confused about this does this mean I can use live@edu or not. Are there any other schools who have gone from easymail to Microsoft and what did you have to do to do this? Thanks
