We're set up on Pager Duty. By now you should have your invitation to sign in. Get yourself set up, and get the app installed on your smartphone. We'll get the pager rotation moved onto that and kiss the old beeper goodbye.

Your mailbox will be migrated from Zimbra to Exchange after 9:00pm on Tuesday January 28th
by Zaluzec, Christiaan N. 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

Hello, This message is to inform you that your mailbox will be migrated to Exchange after 9:00pm on the evening of Tuesday January 28th. If you already have an Exchange account, very little will change for you. Your Zimbra mailbox will be merged into your existing Exchange mailbox, and it will continue working as usual. You can access important information and detailed configuration documentation at http://inside.anl.gov/services/zimbra-e-mail Quick configuration information for IMAP and POP mail clients can be found at https://wiki.anl.gov/public/CIS_Email_Services/Zimbra_to_Exchange_Migration… E-mail folders and messages, Calendar items, Contacts (excluding Personal Distribution Lists), and Tasks will be migrated from Zimbra to Exchange. Important changes to note include: 1. Briefcase Data will not migrate - There is no equivalent feature to the Briefcase within Microsoft Exchange 2. Mailbox rules and filters, as well as message forwarding will need to be recreated on the new mailbox 3. Signatures will need to be recreated on the new mailbox 4. Personal Distribution Lists will need to be recreated on the new mailbox 5. Calendar and mailbox sharing permissions will need to be recreated on the new mailbox 6. Your mobile device will now require a 4 character passcode screen lock in order to synchronize your mailbox via ActiveSync 7. If you send mail with a "From" address that is not your usual e-mail address, please let us know so we can configure that for you 8. If you synchronize your email to a mobile device via the IMAP protocol, your emails may synchronize in the wrong order, listing the oldest emails first. This is only an issue while your mailbox data is being actively migrated. You can circumvent this issue entirely by choosing to synchronize your device via ActiveSync instead of IMAP. Once your migration begins, you will need to log on to your Exchange mailbox in order to read and respond to new mail messages. You can access your Exchange mailbox via the following methods. 1. Using the Outlook Web app by browsing to http://mail.anl.gov and logging in with your ANL domain name and password using the format ANL\username or user(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>. A quick reference card for navigating through the Outlook Web App has been included as an attachment in this email. Links to training videos for Outlook web App are also available from the login page. 2. Reconfiguring your existing email client or mobile device using the instruction sets found at https://wiki.anl.gov/public/CIS_Email_Services/Zimbra_to_Exchange_Migration… 3. If your Mailbox is over 25gb in size, a mail archive will automatically be configured for you. You will also receive an additional email with more information on archiving. Any mail or calendar items older than two years will automatically be placed into that archive. The archive will automatically appear and be accessible via Outlook Web Access, but not by Outlook for Mac, IMAP clients, or mobile devices. Additional information on mailbox archiving can be found at https://wiki.anl.gov/wiki_public/images/d/df/Archiving_Mail_Using_Outlook_W… You can also find additional instructional resources for Outlook Web App and other clients at https://wiki.anl.gov/public/CIS_Email_Services/Zimbra_to_Exchange_Migration… Technical support will be available the morning after your migration to assist with Email client and mobile device reconfiguration. You will have three options for obtaining support. 1. A transition support technician will be stationed in your area the morning after your migration to assist with E-mail configuration. 2. Divisional IT support will be available as normal and prepared to help. 3. The CIS Helpdesk will be available at 2-9999, option 2, and can assist you with obtaining the necessary support. We hope that the preceding information is sufficient to properly prepare you for your mailbox transition. If at any point in time you have questions, comments or concerns, please bring it to the attention of your division's IT support. Thank you for patience and cooperation during this process, The CIS Email Services Team

Working remotely
by Stacey, Craig J. 27 Jan '14

I guess at this point, based on the forecast, I'm going to presume working remotely is the default. Don't come in unless the driving conditions support it. I'll be working remotely myself at this point. -- Craig (mobile)

FW: Labcast: Consider telecommuting
by Stacey, Craig J. 24 Jan '14

24 Jan '14

If you think it's likely you're going to do this, please let me know so I can make sure we've got adequate coverage. At the moment, I expect to be coming in, though the caveat is that I have an afternoon dentist appointment so my plan is to be at the lab in the morning, though about 2, then at my dentist appointment and offline, then working from home after. -- Craig From: labcast-mcs-bounces(a)lists.anl.gov [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Argonne Newsroom Sent: Friday, January 24, 2014 3:19 PM To: labcast(a)anl.gov Subject: Labcast: Consider telecommuting Labcast: Consider telecommuting Because of the extreme low temperatures anticipated on Monday, Jan. 27, and Tuesday, Jan. 28, non-essential employees should consider telecommuting to work instead of traveling to the Argonne site. Non-essential employees should use their judgment to determine if they can make it safely to the laboratory and contact their supervisors for leave time or the authorization to work from home if they believe that they should not drive. Ideally, this conversation should be held well in advance of any anticipated weather event. Telecommuting information and resources are available on Inside Argonne<http://inside.anl.gov/services/telecommuting-tools>. If you are on campus, consider rescheduling meetings to reduce movement between buildings and consider these alternatives: * Telephone conference calls. Phone instruction manuals are posted on the CIS Telephone Service web page<http://inside.anl.gov/services/telephone-services> under "Related Links." * Web-based conferences through Adobe Connect<http://inside.anl.gov/tools/applications/adobe-connect>. * Videoconferencing services<http://inside.anl.gov/services/video-conferencing>. These services are free. For assistance with phone, web or video conferencing, call the CIS help desk at ext. 2-9999, option 2. If you must travel on site, please dress appropriately for the temperatures and exercise caution. Report slippery conditions to your building manager or call ext. 2-2582. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please share this message with co-workers who do not have email.

Ignore BIO and EVS. Looking for ideas on how to come up with the actual counts on machines that are in use. — Craig -----Original Message----- From: Haus, Mary Edylyn M.
