An important step of migrating to Office 365 is to have all members of your staff download and install the DeploymentPro mailbox configuration agent on each PC in which they use Outlook. This helps us to streamline the process of making changes to point everyone to their new mailbox after the cut-over is completed.
The tool doesn't make any changes to your PC right away. It will reconfigure your Outlook client so that you'll be properly connected after the cut-over to Office 365.
Here are the steps:
- Click here to
Download the Outlook Configuration Agent, "BootStrap.EXE".
- In Internet Explorer: click
Run when presented with the download options.
Note that in other web browsers, the steps to download and run the file will appear slightly different. For example, in Firefox, click
Save File, then go to downloads, click Bootstrap.EXE,
- Depending on your settings, you may be prompted to enter an Administrator username and password for your PC. If you don't know this, contact us at the email below for help.
- The agent will install and a dialog box will appear on screen. When prompted, enter activation code we provided you by e-mail, then click the
Connect button.
If you don't know the code, please contact us for help.
- If you need to close the dialog above, you can return to it later using the DeploymentPro icon in the Windows system tray. (The icon looks like a little green shield with a yellow lightning bolt.
That's it! Once the tool is activated, we'll do the rest. If you run into any difficulty, please send us an email at office365@liquid-hg.com and we'll do everything we can to help you complete the process. Optionally, you may also call your help desk for assistance.
