Was sind die Ziele der zentrale Umstellung auf Exchange für lmu.de?

  • Uniform mail infrastructure at the LMU
    • The previous division into different mail systems (Exchange, standard mail, mail forwarding service, local mail servers at the institutions) causes uncertainty, misunderstandings and increased need for explanations and support by IT groups, master users, LMU IT service desk and LRZ service desk, for newly hired, but also for existing users when they wish to change their mail settings
    • When LMU employees change institutions, moving their account more often fails due to different mail platforms of the source and target projects in the IDM portal.
  • A mailbox is connected for the lmu.de mail address.
    • No guesswork about the required forwarding address when registering for the first time
    • No undeliverable or bouncing mails due to incorrectly entered forwardings
  • Exchange is a groupware system.
    • In addition to the basic mail function, there are extensive calendar functions, an LMU-wide address book and function accounts for shared mailboxes, room mailboxes and distribution lists.
  • In some cases, the master users do not need to import the accounts into their project.
    • Basic mail coverage is already available with lmu.de from the time of initial registration in the LMU portal.
  • Medium-term: Signing of e-mails
    • The issuing of certificates for mail signing requires a uniform mail domain (lmu.de).
