Description of Migration Scenarios
...
- Review the email in your Hermes mailbox and see if any needs to be archived.
- If you have both mailboxes open in Outlook, you can simply drag the messages from one mailbox to another. You can also follow these instructions https://help.uis.cam.ac.uk/service/email/hermes/hermes-faq/archiving-hermes-email/using-outlook-to-archive-hermes-email. If you have an extensive set of folders and subfolders in your Hermes mailbox you may wish to plan on taking some time to recreate subfolders in Exchange Online.
- Once anything important has been archived, you can request that the Hermes mailbox be deleted by filling out this form: Delete Hermes: https://forms.office.com/r/RGviaeMdFY. Then no migration to Exchange Online is needed
- Update your Lookup mail delivery record so that all messages going to @cam are forwarded to your preferred mailbox - https://confluencecscs-itsupport.medschl.cam.ac.uk/x/gwtCBQatlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FAQ/pages/21366160/Email+Delivery+arrangements+for+your+cam+address

- Check your eligibility - make sure you have a Microsoft licence with the University (and not just the Clinical School)
Quickly check your eligibility by logging in to your Lookup page (with your Raven account) and click the Groups tab – if the Combined staff for the Microsoft Enrolment for Education Solutions group is listed, you are eligible.
- If you don't have the Combined staff for the Microsoft Enrolment for Education Solutions in your list of Groups
- Contact the UIS Service Desk and request a Microsoft Licence. You should have a Visitor Agreement with the University to be eligible for this. Visitor Agreements are administered by your department.
- You can email the UIS Service Desk at servicedesk@uis.cam.ac.uk to request a licence. Ask for a Microsoft licence to use Exchange Online (A1) if you don't need to download the Microsoft applications and can use them online. If you need to download applications (Word, Excel, Outlook etc) ask for an A3 licence. There may be an extra charge for the A3 licence but the UIS Service Desk will let you know if there is.
- Make sure your Raven password is synced
- Make sure you've signed up for a Multi Factor Authentication token. If you have, it's a good time to confirm that you have more than 1 authentication method chosen (eg as a backup for if you lose your new mobile phone).
- Set up Multi Factor Authentication go here: https://confluencecscs-itsupport.medschl.cam.ac.uk/x/PYjZBgatlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FAQ/pages/21365477/UIS+Multi+Factor+Authentication
- To add additional authentication methods go here: http://www.uis.cam.ac.uk/mfa-options (good suggestions are a mobile phone and a land line - office or home phone)
- Make sure your computers have Microsoft Outlook 2016, 2019 or 365. Previous versions don't work with Exchange Online. It is also important to make sure that you are signed in to your Office applications with your Raven account so that it is licenced by the University and ready to use with Exchange Online.
- If you have a computer supported by CSCS you can upgrade by going to https://software.medschl.cam.ac.uk. Go to Downloads and find Office 2019
- If you are supporting your own computer, you can download Office from this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/download-and-install-or-reinstall-microsoft-365-or-office-2021-on-a-pc-or-mac-4414eaaf-0478-48be-9c42-23adc4716658.

Here are instructions to uninstall old versions: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/uninstall-office-from-a-pc-9dd49b83-264a-477a-8fcc-2fdf5dbf61d8

- Set up mail clients (for example, Outlook)

- Set up Outlook or other email client software per this Microsoft guide https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/add-an-email-account-to-outlook-6e27792a-9267-4aa4-8bb6-c84ef146101b or https://confluencecscs-itsupport.medschl.cam.ac.uk/x/XIO4Bgatlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FAQ/pages/21365786/UoC+Exchange+Online+Email+How+to+add+an+account+to+Outlook+2019
- Confirm your email is going where you want it. Log in to https://www.lookup.cam.ac.uk/self and on the Person tab look for your @cam delivery address. If you have an email address added here that means that any email coming in to your crsid@cam.ac.uk address will be redirected to that mailbox.

Support during the Hermes Migration Process
Unfortunately the University has not provided any additional IT staff to make the transition from Hermes and is requiring that the migration work be done by each individual mailbox user. You are expected to be able to follow the migration information below and successfully move over to Exchange Online. If you do run into problems with your migration, please ensure that you have followed the directions carefully. If you get stuck at a particular point, please send the UIS Service DeskHermes Helphub (https://hermestransfer.uis.cam.ac.uk/ a special service desk set up to support the Hermes migration to end of December 2021) a link to this page and indicate what step you had problems at and what happened, including any error messages or failures that happened.
