https://www.mednet.ucla.edu/changepassword/

Logon Credentials Change:

All the examples below use jbruin as the username

If your email client has a logon window with 3 fields, use AD for the domain field. For example:

If your email client only has 2 logon fields, use AD\username for the username field. For example:

The same applies to the Outlook Web Access (OWA). It has only 2 fields on the logon window.
So you will use AD\jbruin for the username..

Mailbox Size Limits:

The default size of your mailbox will increase to 250 MB
An automated warning message will be issue when your mailbox grows to 225MB
You will not be able to SEND any new messages when your mailbox exceeds 250MB, but you will continue to receive new messages
You will not be able to SEND and RECEIVE email if your mailbox grows to 300MB. Contact the Enterprise IT Help Desk.

Outlook Web Access (OWA) 2000:

Users will now be able to use Exchange 2000 OWA which has better calendar functionality. The new address to access the OWA will be:
https://mail.mednet.ucla.edu/exchange:
When prompted for User Name, type your Domain\UserName (e.g. AD\JBruin). If your browser asks for User Name and Domain as separate fields, enter your UserName (jbruin) in the User Name field, and AD in the Domain field.
Tab to the Password field and type your password
For those currently using
www.genetics.ucla.edu/email to access the OWA, we will update the link after the migration to point to the new Exchange 2000 OWA.

Known/Potential Issues: for AD Password Email Expiration Notification:

* If your AD password has expired and you try to use OWA 2000, it will not warn you that your password has expired, and will keep prompting you for your password. Eventually, your AD account will probably be locked.
* Spell Checker feature is not available yet with OWA 2000 client
* Outlook Public Folders are not available yet with OWA 2000 client
* Don’t use OWA 2000 to reset your passwords
* MAC users using Entourage as their email client, their password locks after 1 bad password. The reason is that Entourage tries to resend the password more than 5 times. So it locks your account.
