7. Last few Configuration Steps

  2. Submit the delegated mailbox request if needed for that user based on their Gmail profile screenshot, which can still be opened in the KBT edge profile if needed. 
    Use this link and paste the screenshot to submit the ticket:

  • After --email use the user's email on which we want to run the script.
  • After that, it will generate a code.
  • Go to KBT profile edge and search for login.microsoft.com\device
  • Enter a code below after running the script

  • Leave Outlook PWA and Script windows open until it finishes.

     

The key things to discuss are after we do the migration:

  • Advise them to use Outlook for emails. 
  • Advise them to use Google Calendar for meetings until advised.
  • Show them how to access this link: https://kubotaau.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/sections/57199429564185-KBT-Office-365-O365
  • If they have a mobile phone, then ensure Outlook is set up on their phone. (If not, ask them to get this done by going to the EIT helpdesk.)
  • If they had delegated email, then we would need to get a request into KBT to provide access so raise the ticket as per the instruction from this article
  • How to access outlook, teams & google apps (in the KBT edge profile)
  • Explain when to use the KBT Edge profile and when to use Chrome
  • Explain why there are unread email in outlook from after 02/04/2026 and why the folders do not have nested structure
  • How to access google chat archive from teams
  • And answer any other questions that they may have.
