Live@edu Implementation Guide

Ben Nunney, who writes the UK Live@edu blog, has just finished updating the Live@edu Implementation Guide. It covers a wide range of advice and guidance that is helpful as you plan to move your email services to the free Live@edu service, based in our cloud datacentres in Dublin. (This link will tell you more about what Live@edu is)

The guide is specifically written for network managers and others who are responsible for the school IT infrastructure. Some of the guidance that you’ll find include:

• 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

If you’re planning a deployment, or your curious to see just how much control you still retain when you move to an outsourced mail service, then Ben’s guide is incredibly helpful.
