Department Transfer Policy
It is SOM's policy that a user's data should belong to the department that they work in. In the event that a user transfers from one department to another, their previous data (mailbox, OneDrive, etc.) should remain with the previous department, and the user will receive a new, empty mailbox and OneDrive.
This is done by deleting and recreating the user's account. This process will typically be done after hours. The user should use self-service password reset to set a new password and log into their account again: https://passwordreset.microsoftonline.com
The following things will be affected:
- The user's mailbox and OneDrive will be empty, as if they were a new user.
- The user will no longer be part of any previous distribution lists and Teams.
- The user will need to reconfigure their phone/mobile device, logging into Outlook/Native Mail and Intune (Company Portal) with new password.
- The user will need to log out and log back in to Teams and OneDrive, and create a new Outlook profile (screenshots below).
The following things will be unaffected:
- User's account name and email address will be the same.
- DUO enrollment information will still be intact.
- SOMID and UMID will still be linked.
