Deployment Phases and Rollout
For the smoothest deployment possible, you should go through the following four phases:
1. Activation
This gives you access to the Administration Console, with one administrative account, one organization, and one server.
2. Pilot
Add a small group of users and possibly additional administrators. Set up your service.
3. Rollout
Using LDAP Discovery, add your remaining users and domains, and set the filter configurations and access levels as required.
4. Maintenance
On-going support of your users and servers. This may require adjusting filter settings, managing users and domains, and adding new or configuring existing email servers.
