Subject Line: It’s Time for Your Department to Migrate from Box to Microsoft 365
Greetings-
As previously communicated, Enterprise Technology & Services are migrating UNH departments and their individual Box users over to Microsoft 365 OneDrive and SharePoint over the next six months.
Your department is scheduled for the first wave. We will begin synchronizing your files next week, and then we will work with you to establish a cutover date to copy your data from Box to Microsoft 365.
You were listed as the primary contact for your department; please share this information with others in your department. If you are not the contact for your department or if your department is unable to migrate now, please contact us by Tuesday, May 3, by creating a ticket here:https://td.usnh.edu/TDClient/60/Portal/Requests/ServiceDet.aspx?ID=510
How It Works
ET&S will copy department Box data to SharePoint, and individual user data to OneDrive. Your Box data will be accessible before, during, and after the migration, but once complete, you will not be able to add new files or edit existing files in your UNH Box account.
You will receive three notifications when it’s your turn to be migrated:
- A message in advance of your department’s migration (this message)
- A message once your data is syncing to OneDrive
- A message when the migration is complete
Startup Meeting
The next step is to attend a brief Startup meeting with the migration team to familiarize yourself with the process and what you need to do to make the transition as seamless as possible. You will receive information about your Startup Meeting options before your wave is scheduled to migrate.
This one-hour meeting will give you an opportunity to meet the team, collect the information you need to understand the migration process and what to expect, and have ET&S answer your initial questions.
