Happening Now: Faculty/Staff Exchange Online Migration
February 1, 2019, by UNH IT Staff
Exchange Online provides faculty and staff with 100GB quota.
Since November 2018, UNH IT has been migrating all UNH faculty and staff email mailboxes to Exchange Online, an effort that will continue into fall semester until all 6500 faculty/staff mailboxes are moved.
