Any Questions?

8

FAQ’s• Can my teachers and staff use Live@Edu?

Your teachers and staff can use it in two ways:

A)Teachers and Staff can use all of the collaboration portions of Live@Edu but stay with on-premise email

B)Teachers/Staff can use ExchangeLabs, but there are additional conversations that we need to have regarding price

• Who handles helpdesk calls?

School support issue: Microsoft provides full Live@edu support

to the school, with 24/5 access. We also have rich support SLA’s

Student support issue: We provide 24/7 web-based support for

email and services, but the school provides phone based support

• Are there any ads in the environment?

There are no ads in the web environment for students,

Teachers, and staff. Non-students (parents, alumni, etc) will

eventually have ads in the environment (sometime in 2009) (if you use MSN messenger there are ads for anyone)

• Do I have full administration capability?

Email: You have full administrative capabilities in email. You can

access student mailboxes via impersonation, turn on transport

journaling, delete an account, etc

Other Services: You do not have administrative capabilities in

these services. You can delete a student account for

inappropriate conduct, or have Microsoft remove content.

• What about back up and storage, and accidental deletions?

Back-up and Storage: We store our content on three redundant

servers. We have HVAC systems, rich security, etc.

Deletions: Content is stored in the deleted items folder for 15

Days. It will then be available in the recovery items folder for an

additional 15 days.

• Is there a way that I can restrict the non-email services for Live@edu?

While you can restrict access to the services via your firewall and

choose not to promote them, students can still access them when

not at school

• How long does it take to deploy?

Deploying the technology is the easy part! What usually takes

some time is:

1) Testing the service: It is extremely important to test the service! Please pilot small groups, and make sure this service meets your requirements.

2) There are a lot of internal upfront decisions you’ll need to make, such as:

- Are we going to restrict domains?

- Do we have an acceptable use policy (AUP) in place?

- How are we going to handle students who violate the policy?

- Will each district use their own domain? Each School?

- Do we want to have a global address book? If so, are we going to restrict it (so HS students can only see other HS students, etc)
