What kind of deployment options do Education Institutions have?
Microsoft offers three primary ways for your institution to offer Windows Live services with a custom domain for your students, alumni, and faculty: • A simple desktop application – eduExpress – which lets you create accounts one at a time, or bulk upload a csv file, using a simple menu-driven interface • A command line application that performs batch exports and bulk uploads • A more customised deployment using Identity Lifecycle Management which is best suited for institutions looking for more seamless, out of the box integration with local directories and a “set it and forget it” deployment. Microsoft’s Identity Lifecycle Management can automatically synchronise with your local directory, regardless of type, allowing for easy maintenance as well as the ability to synch multiple directories. For developers, you can also use our SDK’s to integrate at the API level with SOAP calls.
