RRU has been on a mission to move Exchange to the cloud for some time. We started with non-student mailboxes, then student mailboxes, and now we’re moving distribution lists.

titleWill the name of distribution lists change once they are in the cloud?

Most distribution lists will have a new name once they are migrated to the cloud. There are 2 types of changes:

  • organizational: removing references to old department names etc.
    So, @RRU-AIS-IT-Services-Computer-Services becomes @RRU-IT-Services-Computer-Services.

  • cosmetic: removing ‘RRU’, using caps, dashes, and spaces consistently so that distribution lists appear as expected in the global address list (GAL).
    So, @RRU-IT-Services-Computer-Services becomes @IT Services Computer Services

Some distribution lists can’t be changed just yet because they are used by systems for various reasons. We will come back to these.

titleCan I manage my own distribution lists again?

Yes. When the lists are migrated to the cloud, you’ll be assigned as the ‘owner/editor’ of your distribution lists. You can modify the membership as needed without requiring assistance from IT.

More than one person can edit the distribution list membership.
