Constraints
Email accounts are available to users who have a valid role that is entitled to email. This can be current or retired employees; business or educational affiliates; admitted, future, current or past student (within one year or who has an incomplete); and also alumni. Mailboxes are removed based upon information in banner for an employee’s last work date plus 90 days or a previous student who hasn’t been enrolled for 4 years. Mailboxes can also be removed for Retirees and Alumni if they do not use them for one year or longer.
Directions
Troubleshooting can vary depending upon what issue is being encountered. It can be a problem with the underlying account being locked out from bad password attempts after changing the password or can be a lapse in a provisioning role that is entitled to have an account enabled along with various other things.
Maintenance
Office 365 services are updated by Microsoft. They configure their system to be able to update systems without interruption. This does not mean that there won’t be outages when an update is found to have issues, just that there is no real maintenance schedule.
