GriffMail To Expire June 30

ITS is in the process of migrating all computer users from a Novell network environment to a Microsoft Network environment (Active Directory/Windows Server) and from Mirapoint GriffMail and Oracle Calendar to Microsoft Exchange.  These changes should result in an improved and more effective communication environment.  For more detailed information regarding this migration, click here.  Migration to Microsoft Exchange must be complete by June 30, 2010 because GriffMail will not be available after this date.  Progress is good with approximately 90 percent of our users now using Active Directory and approximately 40 percent having switched to Microsoft Exchange.

If you have not yet completed your migration to Microsoft Exchange, please arrange for your migration by calling the ITS Help Desk at Ext. 2299.
