Webcast on Exchange Labs deployment options

Just a quick note.  This Thursday I will be doing a Webcast on the various deployment options for Exchange Labs.  You can sign up for the Webcast here: http://www.educationwebcasts.com/Webcast.aspx?i=3472.  Maybe I will see you there?

The session will be archived, so if you miss it, I will be sure to repost here on my blog.

Single Sign On and Exchange Labs

A few months back, we kicked off some work with St John's University on integrating Exchange Labs with their deployment of Luminis.  In summary, St John's wanted to enable students that were logged onto the Luminis portal to be able to bring up their email in OWA without being challenged for authentication on our service.  A screen-shot representing what is now in place is below, and a site dedicated to the project, managed by St John's, can be found on our CodePlex shared source site here: http://www.codeplex.com/LuminisLiveSSO.  You will find sample code, prescriptive setup documentation, and a place to ask your questions.

If you enroll in the Exchange Labs program, you will also have access to additional documentation on SSO.

Enjoy!

Best Practices in getting going with Outlook Live

Updated for Outlook Live - your input welcome!

I had a conversation with a customer the other day about what things of things should they be doing in their first week or so with Exchange Labs...is there a checklist anywhere for example?  Well, we do provide starter guidance in the materials we send out during the enrollment process...but I thought I would complement this here for you.

I came up with the following table of things of do, and resources you can use at each phase.  I got some positive feedback on this, so I am happy to share it here.  Any thoughts, let me know, and I can update it:
