We haven't fully moved over to Google Apps, but have set it up within our domain so that people can use their institutional emails to share files on Google Docs, etc. This is great because you can look at a doc and see that it's shared with real.name at example.org, another.real.name at example.com, etc...instead of froggy666 at gmail.com, or denver76 at gmail.com which make ownership hard to decipher.
However, this has created problems with migration. There's lots of "work" files owned by people's personal Google Accounts. If these are owned by a person in another domain, it's not possible to transfer ownership from the old personal account to the new institutional domain account. We've got a manual workaround but it's tedious and manual. bk ---------------------------------------------------- bryan kennedy director, exhibit media science museum of minnesota bkennedy at smm.org 651.221.2522 ---------------------------------------------------- On Wed, Sep 18, 2013 at 3:44 PM, Ramine Daneshmand < rdaneshmand at hillwoodmuseum.org> wrote: > Hello Everyone, > > We're making the move from Microsoft Exchange to Google Apps (Gmail) and > were wondering what kind of pitfalls you may have encountered.
