h3. Tips for Migration

* IDRs through inter-campus mail can take 2-3 days, make sure you send it early enough before the BES account is needed.
* The BES account cannot be created if the Exchange user is hidden in the GAL
* If mail forwarding has not been changed from utln@trumpeter-store.tufts.edu to utln@exchange.tufts.edu the Activation code will not make it to the Exchange Mailbox, and activation will fail.
