First, it was the turn of the students of RWTH Aachen University.<\/p>\n<p>Now we will continue with the Microsoft accounts of the employees, so that at the end of the clean-up campaign we can duly say goodbye to the RWTH-Tenant.<\/p>\n<p>In today&#8217;s article, we&#8217;ll explain what the clean-up campaign is all about, what you should look out for, and where you need to take action yourself.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00549f;\">The Clean-up Action<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For licensing reasons, the creation of new Microsoft accounts on the RWTH-Tenant was already deactivated in August 2021 as part of the license changeover. In addition, student accounts were removed from the well-known RWTH-Tenant some time ago.<\/p>\n<p>In the next step, all Microsoft accounts of employees on the RWTH-Tenant will now be deactivated at 23:59 on <strong>29.04.2024<\/strong>. This means that from that point on, employees will no longer have access to the RWTH-Tenant, as well as to Microsoft products obtained through it and documents stored in its Microsoft Cloud (e.g. OneDrive, OneNote and SharePoint).<\/p>\n<p>But don&#8217;t worry, employees of the RWTH still have the possibility to use some Microsoft 365 products for free via the RWTH.
