Get started with Exchange Online email

Faculty and staff email accounts are moving to Exchange Online. The Exchange Online environment provides better integration with Microsoft Teams and other Office 365 apps and improves IU’s mail security.

You will receive an email seven days and one day before your migration. Learn more about how to prepare, what to expect and how to solve any problems you might encounter.

Rollout and timeline

Box.com to Office Storage

July 2020 to Jan 2021

After deciding not to renew IU’s contract with Box.com, UITS migrated individual users to Google Drive@IU or Microsoft OneDrive@IU and departmental, Health, and other shares into Google Shared Drives and Microsoft Teams. As part of this migration, both shared platforms added Critical Data classification storage to handle the university's most sensitive data.

Exchange Online Migration

Jan-Apr 2021

Indiana University is updating their Exchange 2013 service to Exchange Online. UITS will move 90,000 mailboxes, resource rooms, and group accounts in Spring 2021.

New Stream

Summer 2021

Microsoft Stream—the intelligent video app in Microsoft 365—will be re-imagined and rebuilt to integrate seamlessly with applications across the suite, so you can create, share, discover, and manage video as easily as any Office document.

In the new version of Stream, video and audio files will be stored on the SharePoint files platform within Microsoft 365 like all other file types; already today, SharePoint powers file experiences for Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, Yammer, and Outlook. This will provide the best of both worlds: intelligent video experiences powered by Stream across the suite, and management of video that leverages the power of SharePoint content services for permissions, sharing, compliance, governance, and customizable portal experiences.

Teams Telephony

2022

Once the Exchange Online migration is complete, the Office team at IU will begin designing, testing, and piloting a migration from Skype for Business to Microsoft Teams Telephony.

New Services

Ongoing

As Microsoft debuts new applications, we will make them available to IU, announce, and support them.
