This article provides guidance for end users of an organisation completing a managed migration ahead of switchover.
ü Complete your @nhs.net account set up.
ü Know when content is moving.
ü Ensure no structural changes to your files & folders.
ü Know what items you need to migrate yourself.
If users require a name change, please contact your LOA/ trust helpdesk post-migration.
1.1 Complete your @nhs.net user account setup by:
Once you have received the credentials for your new nhs.net account, please set up your @nhs.net user account by completing all the steps below (the order of steps 2 & 3 may vary depending on the Trust):
- Sign in to the NHSmail Portal using your nhs.net email address.
- Complete the Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) setup.
- Read and accept the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) if you haven’t already done so. When users update their profile in AUP stage they can tick ‘hide mobile number from address book’ if they do not want to share it.
- Set up user account secret.
MFA & AUP will be monitored. Migration cannot go live until there is a significant number of users who complete their nhs.net user account set up.
Otherwise, the helpdesk will be consumed with tickets and users who have not completed their set up won’t be able to access their emails.
1.2 Know when your content is moving!
Ensure you have read the migration approach content and are clear on what is migrating when. Look out for communications from your organisation.
1.3 Ensure no structural changes to your files/folders
Please do not change folder structures during the migration, as any changes risk not being reflected on Switchover.
This applies to:
- OneDrive
- SharePoint
- Teams
