M365 Migration – Post Migration Tasks

Our Microsoft M365 migration is scheduled for June 13th-June 16th as part of the larger initiative to separate the NP / PDI shared technology platforms.  Please review the attached important information and post-migration action items to ensure a smooth transition.

Planned Email Outage Window

  • Start: Friday June 13th, 5PM
  • End: Monday June 16th, 8AM

During this period, access to the following M365 platforms will be unavailable:

  • Email
  • Teams
  • OneDrive
  • Power BI
  • Any other Microsoft services

Additionally, access to systems that authenticate through Single Sign On (SSO) will not be available (listed in priority sequence):

  • Fortinet VPN
  • Master Control
  • PDI Connect
  • UltiPro
  • Esker (limited associates connect through SSO)
  • TM1
  • Ensure
  • Docusign

To ensure you’re fully set up and operational in the new environment, please complete the following steps after the migration is complete:

Post-Migration Tasks:

  • Set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in the new Microsoft tenant – This is the first step and must be completed before you can access M365 services on a web browser, mobile device, or laptop.
  • Access M365 via web browser – Provides immediate access to your emails and files; no syncing or caching required.
  • Access M365 on a mobile device – Partial syncing/caching will occur during setup.
  • Access M365 on a laptop – Full syncing/caching is required. The time needed for this step depends on the size of your mailbox and OneDrive data, so please allow adequate time for synchronization.
  • Access Power BI – Ensure you can sign in and access your reports within the new tenant.

Be sure to download the Post-Migration Activities document prior to the migration weekend!
