Exchange für lmu.de
Until now, mail addresses with the domain @lmu.de could only be used as forwarding addresses. However, this has changed: now a complete mailbox on Microsoft Exchange is also possible for all @lmu.de mail addresses, see also the LMU documentation: E-Mail-Dienst für Beschäftigte.
The changeover of all LMU accounts of LMU employees is to be completed by the end of 2023. The changeover will take place in several steps:
- LMU accounts that already had Exchange from Master Users (status: completed)
- LMU accounts that did not have an Exchange or standard mailbox and whose lmu.de forwarding redirects to another account or a mail address outside the LRZ mail systems (status: completed)
- LMU accounts whose owners have an LRZ account (second account) with Exchange permission (status: in planning - difficult)
- LMU accounts that have standard mail permission so far (status: in progress)
to 2. If you or your users would like to move the mail address(es) with the institute mail domain from the LRZ account (second account) to the LMU account and thus to the Exchange mailbox, please contact LRZ Service Desk at https://servicedesk.lrz.de/ql/create/9.
Alternatively, you can also carry out the move yourself together with the users (more time-consuming): How can the mailbox with faculty mail address be moved to the LMU account?
to 4. If you want to become active yourself earlier when moving to Exchange, e.g. because some of your users want to, please read: Can individual accounts be changed from standard mail to LMU Exchange?
A presentation (13.10.2023) treated the 4th case: "LMU accounts that have standard mail permission so far" (German only):
What changes for you as a Master User?
The migrating to the Exchange service for the lmu.de mail address brings the following change for you as a master user and thus some work savings:
- As a rule, it is no longer necessary to create an LRZ account in the IDM portal for new users, as the permission for the most important services (incl. Exchange) is already assigned to the LMU account.
- Importing an LMU account into an LRZ project is now also no longer necessary in many cases (which was previously necessary precisely because of the lack of mail/exchange permission).
You can find more details in the following articles:
- Was sind die Ziele der zentrale Umstellung auf Exchange für lmu.de?
- Was müssen Master-User:innen und Benutzer:innen bei der zentralen Umstellung auf Exchange für lmu.de tun?
- What must be considered for Exchange in the Mail-Clients at LMU?
- Can individual accounts be changed from standard mail to LMU Exchange?
- Can Exchange also be used with project mail addresses?
- Can new LMU colleagues continue to receive standard mail?
Was changes for your users?
A distinction must be made here between the constellation in which the persons concerned have previously used mail, i.e. where their incoming mails to the lmu.de address have previously been forwarded to. The users are/were therefore informed of the new options in a personalised e-mail "Important information on changes to the LMU and LRZ mail services":
No mailbox at the LRZ so far, forwarding to another account or mail account:
Most of these LMU accounts have already been migrated to Exchange. They have been sent the following indivdual e-mail:
If e-mail has been used with a second account/LRZ account, there is the possibility to have e-mail addresse and mailbox content moved to the LMU account:
