Project ICE! Updates and New Information
If testing goes as planned, the Calendar Migration from Meeting Maker to ICE! will take place the weekend of March 28, 2008
DLS will meet with all Departments to communicate the migration over the next few months – DLS will ask for two specific things from each Dept:
A prioritized list of PDAs that need to be converted for your Dept. Calendar Data Collection Forms
DC’s should have received the Calendar Data Collection forms before the holiday break – also located on www.projectICE.harvard.edu
DCs must fill out one form per Conf. Room, Resource or Tracking Calendar
Forms are due for submission to Molly Baird no later than 1/31/08 via email to [email protected], fax 6-2279 or mail- 60 Oxford St, rm 100H
Questions re: the forms should be sent to [email protected] If we do not receive information on these resources from your dept., they will
not show up in ICE! Calendaring

Project ICE! Updates and New Information
There will be no charge, at this point, for any departmental Calendar resources or conference rooms setup on ICE! Service - remember these are individual mailboxes/accounts
Because calendar resources are mailboxes – it’s important to remember to clean them out too! Resource admins in your areas please remember to do this periodically – these must be managed
The Maximum Number of Recipients for ICE! Mail was increased from 100 to 300 (on 1/3/08) – this is the number of email addresses you can mail to at one time (per message)
New information posted on www.projectice.harvard.edu includes Calendar Migration End User Fact Sheet, ICE! Calendar Data Collection Form, Instructions, Sample and updated FAQs

ICE! MAC/Entourage Migrations
Presented by: Courtney Harwood, DLS
Mail MigrationHigh-level Process
1. Identify dates for migrations
2. Communication
3. Coordinate training class with migration date
4. Schedule DLS pre-migration visit for data collection
5. Migration
6. Post-migration Support
Mail MigrationHigh-level Process
Work closely with Department Coordinators to:
1. Identify dates for migrations
– Determine dates that are convenient for departments
• May need to create small migration groups for large departments
2. Communication
– Once dates have been approved by departments
• Regular notifications to users about the upcoming migration
• Migration process and technical information
3. Coordinate training class with migration date
– Users go to training at migration time
– All classes held at FAS Mac Lab in Science Center
– Basic calendar training included
Mail MigrationHigh-level Process
4. Schedule DLS pre-migration visit
– Pre-migration information gathering on each mail account
• Gather user profile information:
– Size of mailbox
– Any additional personalities configured
– Type of mailbox
– Shared (multiple users checking the account?)
– Type of client
– PDA device
Mail MigrationHigh-level Process
5. Migrations
– Schedule in coordination with training times
– Configure and run EMailchemy tool based on user profile
» Each migration can be different based on this information
– Tech check list for each user for quality assurance
– Entourage documentation and a confirmation left for each user
– PDA devices will need to be resynchronized with the user present post migration (very few PDA’s on Mac side)
6. Post migration
– Technicians will be on-site the day after migration for user support
– Help Desk phone support
Entourage Calendaring
• “Big Bang” – all users will be migrated at once over the Project ICE! Calendar Conversion weekend, tentatively planned for March 28, 2008– Continue to use MM until migration, not Entourage Calendar
• Basic Entourage calendaring will be covered in CWD training classes
• Super users will need to attend a specialized class in March
• Note – GAL cannot be accessed with Entourage client outside of Harvard subnets without VPN– Suggested alternatives to using VPN are:
• OWA• Harvard’s Online Web Directory• Technical team is assessing alternate methods to access the
GAL with Entourage when outside Harvard managed subnets

Application Account Migrations
Presented by: Tim Gleason, UIS
Email Enabled Application Migration
• Applications that use e-mail in some fashion and utilize CAMail will need to be adjusted.
• Please consider the functions of your business applications carefully. You may be unaware that some of your applications may be using email.
• Application email use can be categorized as:– Send only: Applications that only send email and do not retrieve email
need to be reconfigured to use a different email server. The standard server used for this purpose is mailhost.harvard.edu. Systems that exclusively send email should be using this address. This does not require a CAMail account.
– Receive and Send: Applications that login and connect to CAMail to retrieve messages from a mailbox. These applications may also use CAMail to send messages as well. These messages are then normally displayed within the application and some action taken on them. These applications have a CAMail account.
• Previously reported enabled email application owners were contacted during the first week of January 2008 to confirm applications and to begin the process of the migration.
Approaches
• The majority of applications that were identified were in the ‘send only’ group.– Simple change to alter the SMTP relay to be ‘mailhost.harvard.edu’– Verify an accurate ‘Reply To Address’
• Applications that ‘Send and Receive’ messages using CAMail will require a new ICE!mail account.
– Establish a Shared Mailbox account enabled either secure POP3 or secure IMAP4 protocols.
• Accounts setup process similar to generic departmental email addresses used today.
• Secure protocols are required– Change the outbound connection to use the SMTP relay for ICE!mail.
• Do not use mailhost in this case• Requires authentication using SMTP Auth connections
– Modify the Harvard alias or change the forwarding from CAMail depending on the address
Next Steps
• Meeting with Application Owners in January. Either on the phone or in person to assess to individual impact and provide options. Outline the process for creation of ICE! application accounts.
• Define the overall timeline for the local email enabled application migrations
• Convert systems as soon as possible
• The scheduled called for all user accounts to be migrated off CAMail by January 2008.

Calendar Migration
Presented by: Tim Gleason
Calendar Migration Scope
Who, What, Where, When’s of the Migration from Meeting Maker (MM) to ICE! Calendaring
Who: All Central Admin. (DLS supported) MM users of the CAMMS Server (approx. 2,000 users)
What: MM data from May 2006 to the present and 2 years forward will migrate into ICE!; includes meeting titles, locations, date/time, recurrences, notes, participants, reminders, conference rooms & resources; Does Not include labels, proxy lists, groups, master schedules, work hours, quick lists & calendar groups
Where: Migration primarily occurs at back end – no touches required at desktop; cradle sync PDAs will require a desktop visit to reconfigure
When: If all our testing goes as planned, Calendar Migration will occur over the weekend of March 28, 2008 - use of mail during this period is discouraged
ICE! Calendar Functionality
Full integration w/ Outlook, Entourage (MAC) and OWA Web Client
Full PDA integration with Windows Mobile and Blackberry devices (see PDA Chart in the appendix for more detailed information)
Similar desktop functionality to MM in the sense of scheduling meetings, tasks, calendar views, shared calendars, delegate (proxy), shared/busy, reminders, notes, conference rooms & resources
Meetings (groups) in the past are converted to single user Appointments (additional info will be added about participants)
Harvard Holidays will be published into ICE! Calendars
Biggest changes: Calendar invites come via email and are part of the ICE! mail box Users will “want to see” people’s names in the Directory (GAL) for easy
invites to meetings – re-visit privacy settings Users should “invite” conference rooms/resources to the meeting as
locations or resources (not invitees)
Calendar Migration PreparationWhat you can do to prepare
Department Coordinators:
Please fill out fill out Calendar Data Collection forms for Conference Rooms, Resources and Tracking Calendars in their Departments- due no later than 1/31; for questions contact Molly Baird at [email protected]
Provide DLS with a PDA Migration Priority list for Handheld users in your Department that require configuration changes
Users: Clean out unwanted contacts & To-Do list items in MM Print your MM calendar for a hardcopy reference prior to migration Register and attend Outlook/Entourage Calendar Training – CWD is
offering hands-on, lecture based and on-line classes
Calendar Migration PreparationWhat you can do to prepare
Users: (continued)
Login to MM just prior to migration to receive the latest copy of your calendar for off-line access (after the migration)
Users note that all Palm based PDA devices and Blackberry devices that used to sync with MM will require a desktop visit from DLS after the migration weekend – your Department Coordinator will provide DLS with a prioritized list for conversion
Calendar Migration EventWhat to expect during the Conversion Weekend
MM will be taken off-line at approx. 6:00pm on the Friday of the Migration Weekend
Users are asked not to use ICE! email if possible during this event to preserve system resources for the migration– no email will be lost
Wireless BES Service and Exchange Active Sync will be disabled during this event
Calendar items from May 2006 to the present and 2 years forward will be imported into ICE! Service
Meetings in the past will be transformed to standalone appointments (they will retain their attendee and other associated information)
See chart on “what calendar data is converted” in the appendix of this presentation
Post -Calendar MigrationWhat you should do Monday Morning
On Monday morning after the conversion, all client calendars are functional – there is no change to your existing desktop login process
MM client can be used in “work-off-line” mode to compare information
Setup/modify delegation permissions, work hours, master schedules and quick lists in Outlook calendaring
Verify conference rooms, resources and events in your new calendar
Palm based PDA devices and Blackberry devices that were configured to sync w/MM via a cradle will require a desktop visit from DLS for re-configuration
