Due to the increased number of “scam” emails from people stating they work at DiBuduo & DeFendis, Office 365 is introducing a new security feature. All emails coming from outside the organization will have a banner at the top stating they’re not from DiBuduo & DeFendis. This will not affect the content of the email in anyway. This is just to help you avoid any scams in the future by providing you with more information to make an informed decision. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the IT Department.
This weekend will be a large transition for this agency.
We will be upgrading our e-mail system to Office 365.
It will take a lot of work from the IT Department and a massive amount of patience on your part.
Our e-mail will be down all this weekend while the transition happens, 99% of the e-mail will still come through to you on Tuesday, but things may happen.
For all our users, please be extremely patient on Tuesday morning the 19th.
All users’ passwords to log in to your computer will be changed over the weekend to: This is your new password.
You will be prompted to change it at that time.
There might be a lot of cleanup and organization for the IT Department to do in order to get you up and running 100%.
We have over 265 e-mail accounts across all our locations, nothing about this is easy.
If we could do it one at a time, I would have; unfortunately, it is an all or nothing scenario.
I will be coordinating the efforts to get everything running 100%, so please only call me next Tuesday the 19th with e-mail issues.
We will create a list and work our way down it 1 by 1.
Please do not call Reece or Chris directly during this time.
If you are a producer or manager and have e-mail on your smartphone, this will be down during this time.
We will need to change your settings after the weekend, please be patient with us as we will have a lot going on at once on Tuesday.
Thank you for your consideration.
If you have any questions prior to this weekend, please let me know.
