A MailboxPlan is a template that automatically populates multiple user properties and assigns
default permissions to new or existing user accounts. Different segments of your user
population may need different mailbox plans. For example, you can use different mailbox
plans for students and teachers.
Outlook Live includes two mailbox plans for Microsoft [email protected]: DefaultMailboxPlan and
GalDisabledMailboxPlan. GalDisabledMailboxPlan is for accounts where the user information
shouldn't be discoverable by other users. The availability of one or both plans is determined
by the selections you make when you enrol your domain. That means you may not have more
than one mailbox plan. For more information, see:
Mailbox plans for Outlook Live
View and set a default mailbox plan
Customise a mailbox plan
You can use the MailboxPlan parameter when using Windows PowerShell to provision new
mailboxes. This lets you specify the mailbox plan for each user when you bulk-create new user
accounts.
PROVISION USERS WITH WINDOWS POWERSHELL OR THE WEB
MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
The CSV_Parser.ps1 Windows PowerShell script, which uses a comma separated value (CSV)
file to specify users, is the best way to provision several users during the initial deployment
process. You can also use this script to create external contacts.
After the initial provisioning of users, you can continue to create new user accounts with
Windows PowerShell or you can use the Web management interface.
For step-by-step instructions, see:
Create and configure users and contacts with Windows PowerShell
Create a new mailbox
PROVISION USERS WITH MICROSOFT IDENTITY LIFECYCLE MANAGER 2007
For [email protected], the act of provisioning refers to the creation of a Windows Live ID account.
You can use Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager
1
(ILM) 2007 to:
Automatically create accounts (objects) in directories, based on their addition in
one (authoritative) directory.
Continue to manage those accounts, including removal (de-provisioning)
and disablement.
1 Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Management implementation requires deep technical knowledge.

Provisioning will occur within ILM 2007 to create the Windows Live IDs in the Windows Live
environment. The Windows Live Management Agent will be entrusted to handle this task on
behalf of ILM 2007. This management agent will take the e-mail address of the student to be
provisioned from the data source, connect to the Windows Live server, create the account,
and then return the confirmation to ILM 2007. Similarly, should the user who has an account
need to have the account evicted (deleted) from the school namespace, the management
agent will again connect to the Windows Live server to evict the account.
INSTALL ILM
To install ILM 2007, you use the ILM Install Wizard. The wizard allows you to customise the
installation of ILM 2007 depending on your environment. The following list describes the
options that are available in the wizard during a complete setup:
Licence Agreement - You must accept the licence agreement to continue with
the installation.
Setup Type Complete - Selecting this option allows you to specify the values for the
Store Information, the Service Account Information, and the Group Information
options. The remaining options will be installed with their default values.
Store Information - You use the Store Information option to specify information
about the SQL Server that will be hosting the ILM 2007 database. You can choose
between a local and remote SQL Server, and between the default instance and a
named instance of SQL Server.
Service Account Information - Use the Service Account Information option to specify
the account to be used for the ILM 2007 service. This account must already exist.
Group Information - ILM 2007 uses five different security groups to provide different
levels of access. The Group Information option is used to specify the names of these
five groups. If the groups do not exist, the wizard will create them. In addition to
creating the groups, the wizard will add the active user account to perform the
installation to the ILMAdmins group. This option is only available if you selected the
custom setup type.
When the installation is complete and before you can run the Identity Manager, you must log
off and then log on again to have your new group membership (in the ILMAdmins group)
take effect.

8) Reporting
You can use the Reporting page at Windows Live Admin Centre to generate
reports about your school's domains. These reports provide domain-level data
for the domains owned by your school.
Report results can help you identify:
The number of Outlook Live mailboxes in a domain.
How many users have signed in to their Outlook Live account at least once in a
30-day reporting period.
Trends in the number of active Outlook Live mailboxes in each of your domains. A
mailbox is considered active if the user signs in to it at least once in a 30-day
reporting period.
Trends in the number of Outlook Live mailboxes for your school and how many of
those mailboxes are active.
WHAT KINDS OF REPORTS ARE AVAILABLE?
You can generate three types of reports for your Microsoft [email protected] domains:
Domain Summary: Returns data on general domain activity, such as the total number
of mailboxes and the number of active mailboxes.
Service Usage Trend: Returns a month-by-month count of active mailboxes.
Domain Accounts Trend: Compares the number of active mailboxes to the total
number of mailboxes.
You can view graphical-based reports at Windows Live Admin Centre or export the results to
Microsoft Office Excel.
HOW FREQUENTLY IS THE DATA UPDATED?
At Windows Live Admin Centre, new data for Microsoft [email protected] domains is available at the
end of each month. If you enrol a new domain at the beginning of the month, data about that
domain won't be available until the end of the month. If you run a report before then, the
report won't return any results.
2 Family Safety software must be installed on each computer your children use. If software is not installed, the
safety settings cannot be enforced.
